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.

By who? I’d say that the current House of Representatives is the world’s greatest threat.

If true (and given the source, I highly doubt it), I humbly submit that the world’s greatest threat is a lack of education in the sciences and mathematics coupled to a belief that journalists have any clue about either.

If climate change is a worse threat than cyberattacks, terrorism, North Korea, Russia – and the United States, etc, then we’re actually in pretty good shape. Now we mostly have to fear congress robbing us of our freedom.

Hahaha...the “nonpartisan Pew Research Center” is practically an arm of the Democrat Party. US Snooze knows better, but hopes you don’t.

The poll is useful as an indicator of the percentage of the population who are easily manipulated by propaganda.
