"Nearly religious to some on the left" — um, I have no problem with describing some of the left's view of climate change as "nearly religious" if you accept that many on the right take a completely and utterly religious view.

You mean, literally religious. They do. On the contrary, calling the "global warming" belief a religion is metaphorical. However, I think it is a very good metaphor, as it immediately brings a certain enlightenment to the whole argument.

It is very unfortunate, in my opinion. As unfortunate as the politization of science.
