The bigger threat?...

And glancing at the responses it appears that the WHOLE world thinks global warming is a bigger threat than terrorism.

And actually this was your question.  Not a real hot button issue judging by the lack of correlations.

well it got a pretty good response on here.. ....I think it was a pretty interesting question...why is it, the left goes with Global Warming and the right goes with GWOT....

and I'm not slamming the left...there are just two vastly different views on what is important issues...

why is it, the left goes with Global Warming and the right goes with GWOT....

as someone said earlier, global warming is not an issue with the right...an the gwot is not an issue with the left ...jk

Correct me if I'm wrong.  But I went back through this whole thread and don't see where I took a position on one side or the other.  (I did say that organized religion is the biggest threat to the world, but Henry says that doesn't answer his question.  I guess I'm just not cooperating in this game of "Do you still beat your wife?".)  So, take your little test and cram it.

C, you are just sterotypical.....


Me, that IS a pretty interesting site....thanks for sharing...

I took the test and discovered that it's a little light on the facts. I took a closer look and my guess is that in the past 4 years that quite a bit has been learned about global warming.

Let me know when you've read completely through (don't skip the parts you don't like) and then we can discuss global warming.

4 years old, me. Give me a break! It's not about being political correct, it's about it being incomplete. Either that was intentional OR the dated material is incomplete because scientific studies have produced more evidence since then.

Your assertion doesn't even pass the common sense test.

A little credential checking is in order here. The website is maintained by Monte Hieb and Harrison Hieb. Now who are they?

http://globalwarmingwatch.blogspot.com/2006/04/end-of-our-epoch-all-in-good-time-2.html

"If I am looking for an 'education' on mining engineering, I would possibly consult Monte Hieb, since he worked as chief engineer for the West Virginia Office of Miner's Safety.

But he is not a climate scientist, which is why he has not published any scientific papers on causes of global warming. A search through the peer-review scientific journals where all new claims are tested and confirmed by scientists specializing in the field shows no ground-breaking advances in understanding by Monte Hieb or Harrison Hieb.

If Hieb is not interested in advancing scientific understanding via the time-honored peer-review method, it's most likely that his agenda is to create the impression that there is scientific doubt about global warming. A conspiracy? Who benefits - well, his employer - the coal industry. While the public believes there is doubt among scientists, there is less political will for a carbon tax. So people like Hieb publish junk science to create the public conditions that help the fossil-fuel industry stall the inevitable tax on carbon emissions."

...why is it, the left goes with Global Warming and the right goes with GWOT....

Because the left, being generally more educated and free thinkers, understand the ramifications of both points of view. Whereas the right, being more dogmatic thinkers and unwilling to accept that they may be wrong, won't even acknowledge that global warming exists. Why do we face a threat from a "hoax" after all?
