I only read the first few sentences. But I am sure you have heard of Scientology.
EDIT: I read the rest and well..

Unless the Greenies say Al Gore is God, Global Warming is not quite a religion in my opinion.

It does have a state of ethical codes and beliefs, but I don't think "especially" makes it required. Besides, that link contained more than one definition. All of the other definitions do not require a creator or supernatural being.
And I do not think anyone will ever refer to Al Gore as god, but I bet if he claimed he was some sort of a Messiah, he could have many followers. He already won the Peace prize. I do believe that there are many more people more deserving of this award then Mr. Gore.
