I've read Ann Coulter's argument on this, and there are just a few logical gaps. Can you fill these in? Thanks.

One week she's claiming Islam is the religion of the left, the next week it's global warming. Soon she'll accuse the left of being Morman in an attempt to discredit Romney.

no one can fill in the logic gaps.
all right wing 'arguments' against global warming border on the preposterously absurd and all somehow breakdown into a rant about how this is just an attempt at destroying the world or brainwashing you by the frightening 'libs.'
those who advance these startling statements NEVER manage to find one reason why anyone would do this, or a single shred of evidence that any such thing is going on.
in short, those who advance illogical arguments to serious problems most likely have an axe to grind - one that would not be clear unless we could see the bank statements of people like ann coulter - who after all has made LOTS of money based on her bizarre hatred of most americans...

Ann Coulter says a lot of things that make no sense to the average person!
Global Warming is not a religion, it is a theory. Sooner or later all the pollution we've created will catch up with humanity.

The 'EnviroNazis' of the Gore ilk are latching on to the greatest tax grab in the history of the world.
Mr Gore endorses the notion of taxpayers paying for the largest governmennt expansion in the history of mankind.
I didn't need Anne Coulter to explain that to me.

Obviously there's not God to bow to here, but I have to admit when I first heard about carbon offsets, it took half a second for the medieval indulgences to come into my head...and that's before Ann or Rush ever made such statements.

There is a slight similarity, in that both religion and global warming involve believing in something that is not scientifically proven.
But thats a very slight similarity, and it's a stupid talking point from the right.
When you listen to Rush Limbaugh, you should do so only to laugh at him (like I do).

you don't need to be a genius to realize that when you pump oil out of the ground that's been there for millions of years and burn 80 million barrels of it everyday, that heat is over and above what the sun gives us and it has to be added to our total planetary energy input. If you have a pot of water simmering on the stove and you tweak up the heat slightly, are you surprised that after a few minutes it starts to boil?

Because you ridicule others for being religious believing in a God. You think its a false reality.
Much like man made global warming. When the Ice Age ended, what kind of green house gases were melting all those glaciers? Also, every scientist thought the world was flat, and how did that turn out?
Nature controls man
Man can't control nature

You keep asking this -
the entire premise is "the world's gonna end unless you repent and change your ways."
That's the essence of most religion - - - do what I want you to do or else.
