I tell you something; Pell's a complete nutter, but that quote of his:

That's one of the most perceptive things I've heard a nutter say in a long time. Not - of course - in the strict pejorative terms that he meant it. But it's such a compelling (and arguably accurate) image of the steps needed to deal with climate change.

People will need to sacrifice their cars in order to assuage a raging climate that they cannot control and only dimly understand.

Sadly, having read the rest of what Pell had to say, I'm fairly convinced that the man wasn't making a subtle and strangely beautiful analogy but was merely denouncing environmentalism using religious terminology.

Hmmm... I think there may be a blog post in this at some point.
