Climate change IS a bigger threat than ISIL

[StairwayToSasuke]

Why even compare a global threat to a regional threat? You can even think of it in terms of Naruto. When Madara and Obito were reviving the Juubi that was a global threat. Where their still thieves, criminals, wanted shinobi, sects causing disruption and all of that? yup. but what did the Shinobi do come together and defeat the global threat FIRST. It's only logical.

Because ice melting or it being too hot at the moment, something that won't be a problem until everyone alive now is dead, isn't as important as terrorists killing people in the now. You are right when it comes to the big picture, but the big picture isn't important to a lot of people, myself included.

 

[JENchuuriki]

idk why, we live in this world, why not take care of it?

isis are like akatsuki who wants peace with their own idealogy, another terrorist group, idk how many are there

 

[Marin]

Thats common sense.

ISIS is simply immediate and thus it gains thd most attention.

 

[Honord Sage]

Climate change based on faulty computer models that don't mach the real world. If you go by their model Miami in Florida and San Francisco and Los Angeles in California should be underwater 4 to 5 years ago,why are they not?

 

[Insomniac Fueled Suicide]

The reason why is because first everyone important will have to believe it enough to make a plan to fund either slowing the problem down or repairing the issue which will still take years to do.

And not to mention it would require the entire world's help since it affects them as well not just one country but that won't happen anytime soon considering every country has their own interests in mind and the UN is about peace granted it doesn't do a good job considering all of the bombings(suicide) and such.

What's ISIL? :elmo:

 

[Marin]

What's ISIL? :elmo:

Dif name for ISIS.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Dif name for ISIS.

Oh yeah, derp me. :elmo:

 

[GreyWizard93]

Global freezing my friend. That's more of a threat than global warming.

Nature is a formidable force that destroys yet heals .. but Human nature is nothing but mayhem and destruction.

 

[Deadlift]

Climate Change is a bullshit invented to damage Mother Russia

 

[SSStylish]

Why do people act as if climate change will destroy humanity from one day to another? I'm sure humanity will adapt. Also it's not as severe as some people make it out to be, according to some scientists/studies several cities should have been flooded some years ago. They still aren't. It's a real problem, yes, but nothing compared to lunatics beheading people for the lulz.

I'd rather get rid of the death-addicted barbarians first, than ignoring them and entirely focus on the global-warming problem. But you do have a point, humanity has to act to prevent the world from changing so fast, if we want to maintain the human species.

Even if everything fails.. if climate change can't be slowed down anymore and uncountable animals are going extinct before the human species shares the same fate.. I'm sure that Earth will recover someday, without humans on it. It did multiple times in the past, it will do again.

That's very true. I'm glad that there are people that see the big picture. It's a threat to all life on Earth, not just a war among many.

War comes and goes. Climate change will become irreversible after a certain point and the window of opportunity is pretty slim.

Do you know what methane is? Try breathing it in and tell me if you can adapt before it kills you.

Mars used to be a habitable planet. Nature has its limits.

The Earth is slated to increase in overall temperature by around 2 degrees Celsius over like, what, the next century? With the current level of CO2 emissions staying constant/current regulations being followed. Of course, this estimate is an average of computerized models that give a predicted change of like, half a degree Celsius to maybe a 6 degree Celsius increase.

Nobody is really saying global warming isn't going to happen, or that human activity doesn't contribute to global warming. Not even Slim's video:

[video=youtube;OwqIy8Ikv-c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwqIy8Ikv-c[/video]

Slim's video is correct insofar as that it characterizes the debate between scientists pretty accurately; however, it leaves out some information. It is true that no scientist ever is saying "global warming = catastrophe." In fact, for a while, the 2 degree number has been what policymakers have been able to agree on (it's extremely difficult to reverse global warming, so you have to settle for just limiting the amount of global warming that is already going to occur based on past emissions).

Still, it's not like there are no consequences for global warming, even on that level. It'll change crop growth patterns and cause longer heat waves. Could increase the spread of illnesses due to what kinds of fauna thrive in warmer climates. Could lead to water shortages in some areas of the world. Etc. These are things that are not catastrophic, but still affect future generations, and would be better avoided than ignored.

But ISIS has probably killed more people in the past couple of years than global warming will kill in the next century, so. :| But last time I checked nobody was like "Should we solve ISIS, or should we solve climate change?" XD

Aren't they the same thing
