You make a very fine High Priestess!

@katharinehayhoe.com very cool, can you claim some sort of religious tax exemption now?

Our Mother, who areth in Nature
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy will be done, thy seeds be slung, on Earth, our eternal Eden.

Good heavens. Sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. So sometimes I do both.

Nothing will top Jordan Peterson's "you worshippers of Gaia!"

katharinehayhoe.com•3 days ago

I don't know, I think "high priestess of the Antichrist" and "handmaiden of the Beast" resonate a little stronger :)

lunaroverdrive.bsky.social•3 days ago

That just makes you sound cooler. I wish I could achieve that level of dark, spooky prestige.

I didn’t know that cults were so stratified! Can I become some kind of scribe or acolyte

doktorzoom.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Maybe an electrolyte?

katharinehayhoe.com•3 days ago

all good cults need artists don't you think?

rosemarymosco.com•3 days ago

Heck yeah. I shall paint the official portraits of all our glorious leaders

katharinehayhoe.com•3 days ago

🤣

julie-peyton.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can you do an *icon* of our friend Dr Hayhoe? If so, I’ll get it printed out and stuck on candles and sell them. We can share the immense profits.

Keep going, it’s working! Thanks for all you do 👍

Lucky you, you live in Canada, not the Insanity US!!

michellegrosser.bsky.social•3 days ago

At Ceraweek the Trump admin said they are part of the cult but they’re not going to participate in any of our activities because they don’t like the ‘trade offs”. Maybe they’re not into the songs and purple robes either??

Yay! I’m preaching every day your eminence.

vivithedragon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can we start a Church of Climate Change already????

trudl.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well, it is one that would actually make sense:).

vivithedragon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah we believe in the rapture too. Multiple types and times: water, fire, mud, air, stone. I could write a whole Bible.

sherwoodpm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Never mind that . What about the citizen scientists and STEMNET Ambassadors ? Surely that’s worth sainthood and immortalisation in stained glass alone .

Welcome to the UUA faith :) https://www.uua.org/pressroom/press-releases/uua-joins-climate-revival

Zeldin is insulting religion and science at the same time. We can all understand it’s political cynicism to advance an inhumane agenda that only helps big polluters.

It’s not even economics. Greed seems to be the religion and serving self the main tenent

And most importantly: why isn’t it taught in schools?

sunnydarkgreen.bsky.social•3 days ago

We need to go pro, as in start a religion.

Form communities that gather to break bread, declare our shared ethics, celebrate our successes and make common cause against our challenges.

I volunteer to be a priest. I even have decades of experience. ( Well, as a Pastor. We don't use the title priest, but I will make the sacrifice.)

glennmackin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, I've been told by reliable sources that I'm part of a "death cult." I must be its worst member--or perhaps we're the worst death cult in history--because I'm still fucking here
