There aren't any, really. Global warming is a scientific theory, religion is not scientific. Religious people usually base their belief on faith more than fact, while GW theory proponents base their acceptance of the theory on observable facts. Many religious cults accept unscientific ideas like creationism, while GW theory is wholly accepted by virtually everyone in the scientific community.
I really can't think of anything we have in common at all except, perhaps, many on both sides are very passionate about what they believe. I know people like Ann Coulter have composed obscenely large lists of supposed similarities between the two, but since the people and ideas she's attacking don't actually exist I don't think it means anything.

Nope.
But I can say some things global warming skeptics have in common.
Like people who believe the Earth is 6000 years old, or that NASA faked the moon landings, global warming skeptics basically ignore scientific fact.

Skeptics are not ignored or unlistened too. They're criticized because their ideas are scientifically wrong.

If the British Royal Astronomer stated publicly that he thought NASA faked the moon landings, what would happen? Same deal with global warming skeptics.

Aren't they one in the same? Hasn't GW achieved a cult following with the head zealot Al "Carbon Credit" Gore?

Ooooo Cool Idea! Maybe we can convince them that the great global cooling solution is riding in a UFO hidden in the tail of the next Comet. Algore could gather them all together for a summit when the next comet comes around!!

Yes.
People that believe GW is nothing to do with them also believe that God will save them.
People who reason GW may be something to do with Man burning all the oil gas and coal he can lay his hands on and also chopping down and burning all the Oxygen producing forests and jungles also think that maybe it's up to Man to save himself.

you have defined Al Gore. Reject the capability guzzling mansion and preaching. The earth has sessions of heat temperature and chilly over hundreds of years, so any organic phenomenon should not be preached against and a modest homestead might use much less capability.

GWNs - Form opinions based on documented scientific fact that has been accumulated over the last 100 years + and, contrary to some skeptic's viewpoint, has NEVER been disproven.
RCs - Beleive something because they are told to believe it.

Extreme fanatics of any kind believe everyone should believe what they believe and anyone that doesn't is bad.

Belief in something with no evidence.
Won't listen to opposing views or evidence.
Denounce anyone that opposes them as a heretic.
Claim their ideas are spiritual or moral issues.

Yes, limited information and a tendency to believe anything that they hear.
