Why do Liberals act so concerned about "Global Warming" yet ignore the real threats such as Terrorism?

Answer 1

Libs have a brain and are capable of processing more than one thought at a time.

Answer 2

You thought wrong. Terrorism is nothing new. It's serious, very serious... but it's not the greatest threat to mankind. You're thinking too small. The obvious greatest threat to mankind is any disaster, natural or man-made, which affects the planet directly. In this class would be... - A significantly sized meteor hitting the planet. (which will eventually happen.) - An all-out thermonuclear war (which hopefully we can avoid). - Massive climate change, whether man-made or not. There's significant evidence right now that CO2 is increasing the temperature of the planet in an unprecedented way, and those changes could cause massive fatalities worldwide. They've already caused a large number if you consider significant storms like Katrina. See, that global warming is happening is not up for debate. It is happening. How much of it is human-related and how much is natural is up for debate, but there's no doubt that some of it is caused by man. If you think that Osama is a greater threat than the climate becoming inhospitable to mankind, you've missed the boat somewhere. Even more-so if you class Obama with Osama... See, liberals unlike conservatives can focus on more than one threat at a time. Classifying global warming as a great threat doesn't declassify terrorism as a threat to our society. It's pretty simple... Global warming = threat to the world... Terrorism = threat to our society. World > Society in size. Mankind > our Society as well, if you count all people (and being a conservative, I'm not sure if you consider all humans people, you may well not.) Edit: "The earth has changed temperatures throughout the billions of years it has been around - remember the ICE AGE anyone? Who caused that - we weren't even here!" Umm...HELLO! Whether man-made or not, climate change would still be catastrophic... whether warming or ice age... or do you like living under a glacier?

Answer 3

I'm with the Liberals on this one. Terrorism won't be the end of the world, not even in the long run. However... global warming will be the end of us all - man, plant, and animal alike. Huge ice shelves already broke off when the scientists said it should have lasted another hundred of years. There's record temperatures all over the world where it's never been like this in the entire history of time. We should have listened to Al Gore. It's probably too late now, and let us hope that our technology advances far enough to protect us in time, before the world goes to hell. The terrorists are but fleas on a bigger problem.

Answer 4

Both are real threats. Global warming is real. I don't know what it would take to convince right-wingers that is. We release toxins in the air at a frightening rate. You sit in a room with vehicle/factory exhaust blowing constantly and tell me you're not getting warmer (if it doesn't kill you first). Sit outside while your car is warming up outside in the winter and watch the melting snow closest to it. So what's melting the snow? Or is that just a natural climate change that the earth goes through every million years? C'mon. We're cutting down rainforests at an astronomical rate, and along with it is potential cures for diseases as well as the earth's natural ability to put fresh oxygen into the air. Or is this all a big part of God's plan? Purging the earth of all that is natural and good, so that some rich yutzes can get richer and the poor die of AIDS, hunger, etc? Get real. Terrorism is real, but I am more likely to die of lung cancer for all these bad toxins I'm breathing than to be killed by a terrorist. That's why I don't worry about it.

Answer 5

We do not ignore real threats, environmental or terrorists. That's why invading Iraq is such a stupid idea.
The Republicans ignored the right things to do and instead, fabricated false lies to justify their invasion of Iraq.

The correct plan would have been to stay in Afghanistan and seek out Osama. He's the real mastermind of the 911 attacks.

Answer 6

The terrorists are a threat to public safety, like any other gang. And that's about it. The cons, at heart, know this. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt--they've given al-Qaida sanctuary in Pakistan for 5 years. They either aren't all that worried, either--or if they really were convinced terrorism is such a threat, the only explanation of their policies is outright treason.

Global warming, on the other hand, is a very real and serious threat to all of us. The right-wing can whine all they want--such people have been whining ever since the "cons" of the day put Galileo in prison because they didn'tfind his findings politically convenient. Such BS has never changed a single scientific fact--and never will.

Answer 7

Thirty Algerians were vaporized two days ago by Al-Qaeda, and during the news cycle, what was the headlining attraction? The ACLU and certain elected officials wanted to extend knowledge to those very same terrorists how the U.S. conducts Intel gathering.

The second act?

Gore and the other UN mafioso in Indo casting blame on America for being responsible for the natural course of earth's climate.

Answer 8

Both are real, but one just has an instant impact while the other has a delayed impact. We may not feel the effects of global warming right now, but we will feel it in the future and eventually, the effects will be devastating.

Answer 9

Liberals live in a different world. Instead of focusing on actual threats, they would rather take the hallucinogen way and focus on threats that might not even be real.

Answer 10

Selective consciousness. They tend to support any issue that will give their beloved demon-crat party credibility. Terrorism, despite it's fatal circumstances, must be overlooked at all costs because the current administration is trying to keep it under control. Remember, in the words of the all-knowing Mister Edwards, "Terrorism Is Just A Bumper Sticker." It is obvious he never lost any friends or family in such an incident.

Answer 11

If one nuke goes off here.You can bet they'll be a lot of "Global Warning" in the some part of the world after we put down some mongels.
