Which of the following going to be the most challenging in the 21st century-terrorism or global warming?why?

Question

I want to know whether terrorism is more harmful or global warming on the basis of their effect on human beings, consequences by their increment on human life, and the way they can be controlled or not ?

Answer 1

I, myself, believe its going to be global warming because we CAN stop global warming. Do you see it happening? As of terrorist we have advanced technology which can stop SOME of the terrorist. We do not have the technology to stop global warming.

Answer 2

Global warming along with other natural changes have been occuring since the beginning of time, and will continue, basically, forever. We have access to considerably more information about our surroundings due to technology and many professionals who spend their time looking at these changes. Because we are more aware of them, they cause concern. It's interesting to note, however, that this past summer no major hurricanes hit the U.S., indicating that 2004 and 2005 were worse. We're always being told that our surroundings are changing dramatically, yet most extremes such as record low or high temperatures, etc., have still occured in the past. Obviously, as a world people, because we are aware that our actions are creating changes for the worst, we must take action to reduce our impact on these changes. I believe that we are, but are not doing enough.

With regard to terrorism, it is a real threat to most of the world's population. Middle eastern terrorists have declared Jihad, or Holy War on the rest of the world, in particular western Europe and the U.S. That means that they hate everyone who does not share their beliefs, and they want us all dead. That is an extreme position that deserves serious concern by all of us. Although there are many here at home that believe that the war in Iraq is wrong, most of the terrorist factions are focusing their efforts there, because they believe that victory there by Allied forces will set their agendas back. If we pull our troops out of Iraq, and bring them home, the terrorists will declare a victory in the middle east, and it will strengthen their recruiting efforts. The major problem is that they have many recruits that believe that it is noble to 'die for the cause' and will do so readily. If there is no military front in Iraq, then the terrorists will concentrate their efforts on our home front, and we can't afford to have that happen. We cannot keep them from entering our Country, and they can create havoc with very little effort. I'm sure I don't have to mention the concern created by 9/11.

Conclusion: Global warming is a major issue to address, but it will occur over a longer period of time. Terrorism is an immediate threat to our freedom and comfort, and must be dealt with now. Keeping a military presence in Iraq will not only help the Iraqi people, it will keep the terrorists at bay.
