Do you believe that Global Warming (or Global Climate Change) is a bigger threat to the US than Muslim terror?

Question

And if so, what does it feel like to have a room-temperature IQ?

Answer 1

Both problems are serious. Global Warming exacerbates Muslim terrorism. Oil revenues finance Muslim terrorists. Oil consumption contributes to Global Warming. One of the predicted effects of Global Warming is a 20% reduction in rainfall in the Middle East. The food supply in the Middle East will shrink as a consequence of Global Warming triggering mass migrations. The migrants will certainly attempt to impose their values and recent history (eg France) shows that they will use terrorism. Historically, migration has followed trade. If you want to reduce Muslim terror, stop buying oil.

The Global Warming problem can and probably will be solved by adoption of new energy technologies. The Muslim problem will not go away if the Global Warming problem is fixed, and hence constitutes the less tractable and greater threat.

Room temperature is 300 K for scientists. This is not a black and white issue. There is room on both sides of the issue for intelligent opinions.

Answer 2

Global Warming is a much bigger concern than terrorism the terrorism could be stopped by the United States at any time if so chosen its our Presidents choice not to end Terrorism And Global Warming I think is something we all have to be more concerned about if we want to continue to survive on this earth

Answer 3

Yes, definitely. The perception of Muslim terrorism is biased and targeted towards a community, while it is actually from a small number of misguided and angry, who have seen their families die at young age and other tragedies, youth. While the global warming threat is real and backed by solid science. Also, till now the will to fight the so called Muslim terror threat has been far greater then that to fight warming. This is because of vested interests of the biggest corporations in the world, including but not limited to Auto and Power giants like GE, GM, Ford, Toyota and so on, the list goes on. Further, our dependency on products from these companies and lack of alternatives are also a major concern. Back this with misguided info about: an excellent example is hybrid cars, they also pollute and release about two-thirds of emissions compared with regular ones. This is just one of the many problems contributing to global warming and the political leadership across the world has not even warmed upto it yet!

Answer 4

You want to worry about something pertinent? How about the fluoride in your tap water? Did you know that it is pure poison and yet people drink it on up anyway? If that doesn't do it for you how about the fact that the US gov't is in a big hurry to get satellites in space that can hit targets ie:other satellites and Earthly targets using tungsten rods? Global whatever you wanna call it will happen no matter what you think you're gonna do about it, there's a little action called adapting, and that's what we're going to have to do about it. Muslim terror is a myth made up by people for their own strategic and financial gains, if you don't realize this by now then there is little to no hope for you.

Answer 5

Yes, I believe Global Warming is a bigger threat than Muslim terror. Don't know the answer to your second question, ask Bush or one of his supporters.

Answer 6

They are both equal in the sense, they need direct attention.
I've traveled enough to know both "threats" and more, to just name one religious faction is not enough. That part of your question can throw it stone dead. No pun intended.

Climate changes are so apparent Globally not just the US, which of coarse causes a domino effect through out, the whole world. The children of our future generations don't stand a chance, if we don't apply changes now.

The irony of all, is the Planet Earth will still exist, but most of the inhabitants won't be around.

Answer 7

YOU BET YOUR ASCSS!! The terroristic threat is overblown, your girlfriend could go down on you for weeks and the overblowedness would not be anywhere near what the perceived threat of the Bush regime states now. We have more to fear from the lack of governance we will have to suffer the next 21 months than any terroristic threat.


There is no S.S. Terrorism at the dock ready to ship out--get real!!

Answer 8

I think that if global warming was anywhere near the threat Al Gore makes it out to be, he wouldn't own four homes or fly in private jets.

Yesterday, a member of congress posed an interesting challenge to Mr. Gore. He challenged him to pledge to use the same amount of energy as the average US home within the next year. Gore didn't accept the challenge. I wouldn't either, if one of my four homes used 20 times the amount of energy as the average US home.

Answer 9

That's like asking whether you would rather have your left arm torn off or your right arms broken.

Both are bad. Both need attention. Both are often blown out of proportion in the name of politics.

One has nothing to do with the other.

EDIT: I misread your question. "Muslim terror" is just a political buzz-phrase. Less than 1/100th of 1% of Muslims could possibly be terrorists. So, my answer above is about terrorism in general, dropping the inappropriate religious qualifier.

Answer 10

Muslim terror..lol..whatever.

I think ignorance, arrogance and superiority is more of threat than anything.
