"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change
CAIRO – Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring “the wheels of the American economy” to a halt.

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don’t do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.
“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”
“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”
“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

Having read this article, I’d say that the world’s greatest threat to mankind is the multitude of ignorant dumbasses we seem to be breeding!
The bleeders are EVERYWHERE!
[Actually, Islam is the greatest threat to mankind, but the ignorant dumbasses are part and parcel of that threat, as well!]
Conservatives want clean air and water. The future of renewable energy could in time provide boundless climate and economic benefits. Nothing wrong with valid research. Yet it is the height of arrogance to promote a climate crisis as a cover for a globalist/socialist geopolitical agenda.
“Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

“Everyone’s God and if we don’t wake up to that there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere,” he said.
“The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won’t have air to breathe.
Ok, climate change or UFO’s? Make up your mind.
Climate change = weather.
Something hu-man can do NOTHING about.
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?

No, turning our backs on God is the greatest threat to this world.
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.
