Global Warming vs. Terrorism

Well said.Sea temperatures rising will cause fish to spawn further away from the equator & the polar ice caps to melt.Already scientists are talking about the extinction of the Polar Bear ,but what difference does that make when a million species of insect & bird are threatened with extinction.
The spectre of 'global warming' increasing year on year due to greenhouse gasses of carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide is magnified to an even greater prominence by the mass industrialization of China & India: - rigourously catching up with the west.
In my opinion:global warming is the most pressing issue in the world today.

 

Global warming is no threat. Man made pollution accounts for about 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year, but 200 billion tons are made from the earth naturally. Ever hear of the Medieval Climate Optimum? That's when the earth heated up on average to 6-9 degrees above normal. After that there was the little ice age which killed crops and people died. Actually warming and CO2 would be benefitial. It's a known fact that plants grow better with more CO2 so that CO2 concentrations doubled, plants would produce 50% more crops while needing less water and fertalizer. Also warmer climate conditions cause better living conditions for humanity as a whole. During the Medieval Clumate Optimum average life spans increased, but during the little ice age life spans decreased by 10 years. Natural disasters or terrorism and wars can't be stopped since Matthew 24:6-7 says, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

 

well id like to speak on behaf of the animals of the world and say global warming. you never heard of a bever with an AK-47, or a suiside bomber cow, have you?

 

Honestly, I'd been a little confused when I saw the voting results. My brain generated a lot of ideas related with ease attitude towards terrorism issue. Then I've got it. You have never (thank goodness!) seen the face of horrible beast named terrorism. In our country (I’m Russian) headlines of TV news occasionally contain reports from accident areas... It's really terrible. When you see mothers, relatives of victims (especially if they are children) you feel what I can't express in words... But I comprehend why you are concerned with global warning, because of ozone hole above Antarctica. Whatever, I would agree with the point of concurrency in this threats resolving….



PS: sorry for my probable English mistakes…

 

Read this article

It's reallly long...but really interesting and covers A LOT of aspects that will be affecting the world.

 

Neither. I'd say ignorance.

I see nothing bad about global warming. Climate change will happen and has happened long before humans ever stomped around on this planet. It's normal.

Besides, for you fear-encapsuled folks, odds are that a nuclear war will inevitably balance it all out in the end. See? Nature always works things out.

 

Tch. You go anywhere near a city and you can feel your body being poisoned by all the toxins in the air. It feels really nasty breathing. It's like people who eat at MacDonald's and drink tons of pop - though they can do it to themselves for all I care, it's their littering that I hate - how can anyone put that stuff into their bodies? I don't mean to sound holier-than-though, but once you make an effort to live healthily, you feel so much better!
It's not all about the temperatures. We're practically gassing ourselves.

Okay, there's my little rant.

 

Well the day someone plants some global warming on a london tube train and blows
people up with it I will worry - but since theres jack I can do about global warming - and we all now know there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it - well why lose sleep

As far as terrorism is concerned I think you should be a lot more worried about it and actually be very alert to suspicious activities and or suspect bags - etc on transport
I think you would all do well to worry about that and let the technologists sort out global warming
(hey is it a cruel irony that global warming has the same initials as bush?) GW GWBush

I think george bush used a ak47 and he's got something in common with a beaver - it may not be the beaver you are thinking of tho. And apparently - i tell no lie - apparently cows have been known to explode - due to methane

 

If humans survive long enough, we'll adapt to that. Many organisms around the world live in near-fatal proximity to "natural" poisons, adn they've adapted and thrived. Whether from a factory or a volcanic vent in the earth's crust, poisons are nothing new to life, which will either grow stronger and survive or weaken and perish.

If we're gassing ourselves, then that's what we're supposed to be doing.

If we're a self-destructive species, turning in on its own instincts for self-preservation, then what we do of course reflects this, and there's nothing wrong with it; I see no point in making an effort to live healthy...what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Anyway, I litter all the time; people get paid to clean it up, and that money helps to feed their families. I'm helping the economy and my fellow human being

 

global warming is definently worse than terrorism cuz if terrorist kill most ppl at least someones is there, global warming will kill us all!

 

Global warming. This may be somewhat of a misanthropic view, but terrorism is nothing. Global warming over the years will do lots of harm unless stoped. The earth is extremly over populated and will just keep growing and growing and growing and we'll have to continue to eat up resources and land unless we slow the population growth down. Bring on H5N1, famine, terroism and anything else.

 

Oddly enough, yesterday a Green Party candidate here in Ontario compared global warming to terrorism.

 

Terrorism is uncertain- lots of people didnt think it would happen here til 911. It may or it may not happen again in our lifetimes.


Global warming, on the other hand, is happening, NOW. Our extreme over-consumerism, disposable, convenience minded nation is the top producer of harmful emissions, and certainly not in the forefront of recycling and reducing.
Global warming IS harmful and not only to humans.
Saying it is inevitable and natural is like saying I smoke cigarrettes because lung cancer is inevitable anyway.

We ALL have a choice in what we do, how we buy, etc.

And many days, here in the rural south, away from the big cities, where there are as many trees as humans to counteract the CO2, my son has his choice to go outdoors taken away because of the poor air quality.

 

And, I can't affect terrorism.

The threat of terrorism is not nearly as big of an issue here as it is in say.....Iraq, where innocent people are being terrorized by......americans. :$

 

Other: The demise of intelligent independant thought.

 

i consider global warming a significantly bigger threat.

in england, we've had to put up with terrorism for several decades (mostly from splinter groups of the IRA, such as the Provisional IRA and the Real IRA, but probably we'll be seeing more islamic groups in the near future), and its never really affected the running of the country. or the world for that matter.

on the other hand, global warming is set to change our way of life forever.

 

acts of terrorism will always exist but if we don't do something to counter global warming, the world as we know it wont

 

Global Warming for sure!!!

 

Im going to say both because I believe both are getting worse as time goes on. It does seem though that we are having much more disasterous weather these days than we had years ago, something is contributing too it. Both terrorism and global warming are deffinately getting worse.
