Could terrorism end our existence? The worst they could do is a few dirty radiation bombs. List a scenario where they could do more harm than that.
Could global warming increase terrorism? What if a Muslim country (Bangladesh) were flooded and generated millions of refugees - potential terrorists?

Global warming is far more dangerous.
It threatens the very existence of life on this planet.
Terrorism only threatens the interests of multi-nationals and would stop if we stopped attacking their countries and robbing them of their resources.
Blessed are the peacemakers.

Terrorism by far. It's real and people are dying everyday as a direct result.
Global warming is still being debated as to whether its actually happening or not, depending on who you ask and what data they are using. Scientists can pretty much support any premise by picking and choosing data. Sure many people dye as because of weather, but nobody really knows for you if the bad weather was caused by global warming

Currently, more people are dying around the world due to terrorism than global warming. But if global warming continues, we may all eventually die!

One is real and the other is imagined.
Liberals will tell you the terror threat is not real just like the Soviets were never anything to worry about.
Conservatives will tell you global warming is a fantasy.

Global warming. If Greenland continues to erode at the current rate the ocean will raise 20FT irradiating millions without any way to prevent it. Terrorism is man made, and can kill thousands at a time with possibilities to prevent.

It depends in what sense you are speaking of. Both are a danger because they could potentially end life on this planet however; global warming is happening and will happen regardless. Terrorism would be the greater danger because of the immediacy of the threat.

Global warming is being carried out as a form of terrorism by multinationals and governments who refuse to heed statistics on the immediacy of the threat from pollution, water overuse, fossil fuel depletion, waste dumping, etc. This terrorism is aimed at poorer nations, whose water, mineral deposits, fauna, and land are being abused by richer nations. Statistically, the inhabitant of a city in a Western nation is many, many hundreds of times more likely to die of heart or lung disease (carbon pollution), a car accident, aggressive cancers (many related to environmental pollutions) than from the homicidal actions of militaristic extremists. For the citizens of Baghdad, that's reversed.

Terrorism in the world is a fact.
Global warming is a theory.
So, I'd have to say terrorism............but if global warming is really happening, I may change my answer 150 years from now.

Terrorism is more dangerous. At least we can do something about it!
Is "global" warming really happening?
