"I guess you consider malaria,smallpox,dengue fever,Methicillin-resistant Strep silly as well" You make stupid assumptions. No basis for this. "Global warming is real........just ask the entire scientific community." Might be. I've seen both sides argued by scientists. So you are being dishonest with your assertion. When that needs to be done to support a position it makes me leary. "Scientists say that unless global warming emissions are reduced, average U.S. temperatures could rise another 3 to 9 degrees by the end of the century -- with far-reaching effects. Sea levels will rise, flooding coastal areas. Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense. Droughts and wildfires will occur more often. Disease-carrying mosquitoes will expand their range" Some say this. And some believe them. I don't. And there is no way that all scientists claim this doom. Only the truly paranoid think the planet is doomed as you seem to think. My point was that theoretical doom doesn't hold a candle to the real threat, right now that Islamic fanaticism poses. That folks like you think a slow warming of the planet that is WELL WITHIN historical levels that may or may not be influenced (certainly not entirely caused) by humans is as dangerous as fanatics getting their hands on weapons that do more damage than airplanes (which they have already used if you missed it) is UNBELIEVABLE to me. Sad, paranoid, whining creatures imo.
