The First Church of Global Warming debuts in the WSJ
Global Warming as Mass Neurosis

A bit late here, but I just found out about this article. Nice ‘n short too. I don’t know if it counts as the debut of that idea in the WSJ, but religiously-toned environmentalism is still just beginning to be discussed in the broader media.
And coincidentally published about the same time that Yaron Brook and Onkar Ghate were giving their excellent talks on cultural change in America, focusing on environmentalism, religion, and the two starting to get in bed together. Scary, but the evidence and logic points in that direction. You can watch their lectures for free here (three lectures in six 45-min parts) (middle column, Academic News, scroll down to "Cultural Movements: Creating Change"). Good stuff, the highlight of the talks for me at the conference.
