By climate activist I am assuming that you mean a believer in catastrophic man-made global warming, as opposed to those that have come to be known as climate deniers? If so, this surprises me because, at least in the United States, such a ruling would mean disaster to the pro-Al-Gore, pro-global warming crowd. Adjudicating global warming as a religion in a court of law would mean that separation of church and state would come into play and there could no longer be ANY governmental funding of global warming policy or law!
