greenspirit;

Power and control over other peoples lives, through taxation, laws banning certain activities, and fear

ohhh, you mean like laws telling a woman what she can or cannot do with her own body? Or laws banning people from doing drugs in their own home? Or laws banning some people from getting married? Or laws banning a person the right to die with dignity?

Yup there are some among us who think they should or can ban certain activities - but they're call conservatives. You know, conservatives like Sanford. And fear! You mean like the fear of God?

25 years ago GW supporters were writing books and claiming the planet was going into a deep freeze.

Ok, just for extremely mild amusement's sake, do you think you could cite 1 (one) of these alleged books? Oops, reparsing your sentence, I guess you can say the claims are independent of the alleged books, but you might want to put a name on 1 (one) of these "GW supporters" that had the planet going "into a deep freeze" anyway.

As far as religion goes, I find it hard to believe any scientist of whatever stripe could match the LindyBill crowd for religious devotion to one peculiar brand of political dogmatism, but that's another story.
