There was a curious story in the Daily Telegraph yesterday. A former executive of a property company claimed he had been discriminated against on the grounds of his belief in climate change and a tribunal ruled that it did have jurisdiction to hear the case under the Religion or Belief Regulations. While I have every sympathy for him if he was dismissed for that reason, I am doubtful that the decision is correct as it would seem to open the door for all sorts of people to claim discrimination, from Jedi Knights to BNP members. It is surely ripe for an appeal.
One commentator in the same newspaper takes the interesting point of view that, given the wealth of scientific evidence for climate change, it might even be slightly offensive to put it in the same bracket as a religious belief.
