Is the fear of GLOBAL TERRORISM being kept in proper perspective as is the fear of GLOBAL WARMING ?

Question

Fear is a thief !

It is the biggest thief we will ever know !

Many presidents in the past have convinced us of the need to temporarily or permanently surrender certain freedoms and prerogatives in the pursuit of a "workable" system of government.

We carefully weighed the VALIDITY of those requests and decided whether or not to go along with those requests.

Now, we have COMPETING FEARS and COMPETING WARNINGS of DIFFERENT THREATS being brought to our attention by our leaders.

We are again being asked to surrender a certain amount of freedoms and prerogatives in order to successfully combat and triumph over those threats.

We have the COMPETING THREATS of "Global Terrorism" and "Global Warming"

Which one is a threat that is being "hyped"?

Are both threats being "hyped"?

Which one is being "hyped" way beyond what it should be as a credible threat?

Who is the more credible leader?

Al Gore about "Global Warming" or George Bush about "Global Terror" ?

If our industrial base is what is responsible for "global warming", then we have the urgent responsibility to prudently re-configure that industrial base in a way that its detrimental effect is minimized as much as possible.

STEWARDSHIP, BABY !!!!

STEWARDSHIP IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT !!!

The CHALLENGE of STEWARDSHIP is a WELCOME CHALLENGE INDEED !

We are also in the process of RE-CONFIGURING OUR FREEDOMS to better facilitate an effective defense against the many threats of GLOBAL TERRORISM.

We are more than up to BOTH CHALLENGES --- BOTH RESPONSIBILITIES !!!!

Answer 1

Is global terror Man made ???
should also be a question

terrorism is tool in Mans power games ,it is invented and manipulated ,and carried out ,only by Man ,
and there fore less dangerous then Climate change .

Global Warming is partly gods games

It also includes mans behavior but has time .
the Planets(Gaia) personal moods,
and the Suns forces to contend with
as well as a Gods imagined vengeance or is it an imagined Gods vengeance

it is all becoming confusing,but you are right about Fear always being the operative concept ,so what realy NEW???.as usual we are hounded

Answer 2

which should we be more concerned about.........the possibility that in 50 years there might be a noticeable change in some of the worlds climate......

or the certainty that some religious fanatics, who have killed and are killing thousands of people each month, would love to kill millions of heretics at once if they only had the weapons...

I'd be more concerned with the local climate change of a truck bomb or the regional warming of a stolen nuc detonated in NYC or London

Answer 3

Humans are global terrorists upon the biosphere we all know as Earth

Answer 4

If there was a list of global terrorist, the USA would be number one on that list. Mother Earth will have her revenge!

Answer 5

I am not that acquainted with american politics .But how does global warming impede your freedoms??Are you being asked to give up democracy, freedom of speach, or something similar?
