As kutulu pointed out, in his or her own way, the essay that I posted is very political. It presumes that Global Warming is a big scam and then goes on, from that viewpoint, to illustrate that being a scam it takes on aspects of a religion. If you happen to accept GW as established fact, then the essay is just a hit piece.
I've read similar essays on Creationism. It is based on faith that you know what happened, and since a few paragraphs in a book that shall not be questioned describe it that way, then no amount of science can alter the fact that the Earth is only a few thousand years old.
I'd be interested to hear about any other examples other than actual religions where a belief system takes on aspects of a religion.
