I guess I'm just another ignorant neocon that just happened to accidentally graduate from college a few times. This weekend I'm going to sit down and watch NASCAR for the first time.

Terrorism is a bigger threat then global warming.

I was a unmotivated, liberal high school drop that bought into the Global Cooling thing back in the 80's and 90's. I was somehow smart then and am even smarter now....Terrorism has killed far more people than Global Warming ever will. Global Warming has no potential to kill people either. I don't know about any libs here but the highs in Iraq get around 140 degrees and people still thrive out there. The Earth won't get so hot that people, plants and animals won't spontaneously burst into flames. The water won't disappear, it'll turn into clouds and guess what happens after that? It'll rain....a lot. Coming from the Desert Southwest, I'll welcome it if I live that long. Has anyone seen the South Park episode, "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow"? It deals with global warming and puts humor towards New Orleans. Check it out :)
Remember, I propose if we can stop the natural cycle of Global Warming we should put into action the Anti-Continental Drift Movement and the Volcanic Suppression Movement.

In the history of the planet? Probably terrorism.
Right now? Global warming.
Nobody here has provided any evidence to support their claims, but I'll support mine.
The World Health Organization (not a liberal group) has estimated that global warming is responsible for 150,000 deaths per year right now, and that this number will double by 2030.

Global terrorism is currently responsible for about 15,000 deaths per year.

Therefore global warming causes 10 times more deaths per year right now than global terrorism. However, since you asked "which has killed more" and global warming has only accelerated to dangerous levels over the past 40 years while terrorism has existed for millenia, the answer to your specific question is terrorism.

In a way, isn't global warming the new terrorism? I mean, terrorism is designed to incite terror in people and that's exactly what global warming has done. Al Gore is a neo-terrorist.

Terrorism has, although the people who spout off about global warming could be considered terrorists themselves.
Ask a global warming person who hates SUV's why the polar ice caps are shrinking on the planet Mars, and find out if they have an answer.

don't be so hard on yourself.
Global warming has killed more people IF someone can prove global warming theory leads to violent and erratic weather patterns resulting in catastrophic natural disasters like tsunamis, Katrinas, flooding in London. But I'm not going to make that claim.
If the dangers of global warming are true, it is more of a threat to humanity than terrorism is. Big IF.

Terrorism is leading the race...
But Global Warming is looking good around the stretch, comin' up fast, and looks to increase its' stride dramatically in large numbers soon, and in the final sprint for home, will make Terrorism look like a picnic vacation wannabe...!!!

You really do not want an answer to this do you .
Since people with a clue about this subject are going to give you an answer you will disagree with .
The only accurate and correct answer is the environmental forces in nature kill more people then terrorism . That mans possible contribution to these events is in some kind of doubt among people leads me to suspect that defending our nation from terrorists is as important as defending it from comets and asteroids . That providing clean air to the future generations and reducing our carbon emissions can only help mankind .

I'd say global warming but then again terrorism and war go hand in hand along with all the lifes lost. That's a great question got to call this one a toss up!

Especially since global warming isn't man made but terrorism is.

I think the Killer Tomatoes and Critters killed more people then Global warming and terrorism.
