Climate change is seen as the greatest threat to international security, according to a sweeping new survey of public opinion in 26 countries that also cites worries about cyberattacks, terrorism, North Korea, Russia – and the United States.

The findings from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, published on Sunday, show that the people surveyed in 13 of the countries view climate change as the top international threat.

"Overall we've seen that general climate concerns and specifically global climate change had been at the top of the list or near the top of the list along with terrorism in the five years in which we've been doing these questions," says Jacob Poushter, associate director at Pew Research Center.

In eight countries, terrorism – specifically the Islamic State militant group – is seen as the top global threat in the Pew study, while people in four countries, including the U.S. and Japan, rate cyberattacks as the top risk.

I’m still trying to find out how to get into selling Carbon Credits like Algore. Lots of money to be made in that scam.

This was entertaining. When they made up the survey they created a terrorist threat versus climate change. Every category except climate change relates to a national and international threat. So it stands to reason that if they marginalize all the possibilities of threat by breaking them down to single units it will cut down on the percentage of each one when it should be categorized as one unit. If the threat of attack and destruction was added up whether cyber or anything else, and the full report was used, terrorism far outweighed climate change.

The map in the article listed only four things and was determined to be highest on climate change. If you add up the other ones, they are exactly the same and they are all based upon terror acts. In the article, it mentions a fear of the United States. Why wasn’t that one on the map? Therefore, how many other “threats” were not used for the determination of the most feared? And how many others were even identified to compete against climate change? And why wasn’t the fear of muslum terrorism in the mix as it is a recognized major problem internationally?

Bogus as he((.

I, for one, am terrified about longer, warmer summers in Seattle, especially since I’m knee deep in snow this week. A longer growing season for grains and hops, more beer. It’s going to be hell.

True. Liberalism is the world’s greatest threat.
