-You still haven't proved to me anthropogenic climate change exists. Even so, there are many other things that could impact us. You're gonna see aliens drop nukes before you see global warming do anything.

-You shouldn't list off your so-called statistics about car accidents, disease, etc. in America and then list off statistics about terrorism in America AND Europe. You're comparing apples and oranges. My statistics are from the FBI and I'm only talking about in the United States. The worldwide statistics are a different story and the worldwide statistics only reinforce my claim that a majority of terrorist attacks are performed by Muslims.

-Just so you know, I never said that car accidents and disease weren't concerns. But you chose the side that climate change is a bigger threat than terrorism, when again, terrorism has killed FAR more than climate change (zero). If you're going to choose that side, then back it up. Don't bring in these different things just because you can't back up climate change. You know what else is a threat? Cigarettes, gangs, mental illness, school shootings, and the list goes on. The question above clearly states "terrorism OR climate change." Not all of the other nonsense you're bringing in because you can't form an argument and stick to it.

-Okay so let me get this straight. Climate change has not killed a single person, but it's still a bigger threat? And no, evidence matters very much to me. My entire argument is based on evidence.

-Your statistic is based off of just America, where the Muslim population is under 1%. For being less than 1%, 10% is a lot of attacks. Between 1980 and 2005, the amount of terrorist attacks that resulted in death Islamic extremists were responsible for 24% (2,981 kills). Non-Muslims were at 196 kills. Let me remind you, that's just in the United States. Muslims make up 1% of the population and account for about 25% of deadly attacks.

-Why are you talking about disease and car accidents? Neither of those have to do with what we're talking about here. Stay on topic and get the facts straight.

1. Climate change hasn't killed anyone or anything. You can't even prove to me it exists.

2. Terrorism is growing exponentially, especially when we have a president who refuses to do anything about it or even mutter the words "radical Islam."

3. ISIS is literally cooking people alive, raping, beheading, etc., including women and children as they chant "death to America" all in the name Islam.

Please explain to me how driving my car too much is worse than ISIS. Give me a break.

And a whopping zero deaths from anthropogenic climate change. That's because it doesn't exist. But people like you ignore the actual facts about science and ignore the terrorists chanting "death to America." the logic, or lack thereof, is mind-boggling.

First off, yes they are. But besides that, they have the capability of getting their hands on them. So either way, they're gonna have nuclear weapons and its just a matter of time. With all the countries in the Middle East that want to build nuclear weapons, in the process of building nuclear weapons, or already have nuclear weapons, its up to ISIS in which country they choose.

Second, they are growing at an alarming rate. There are high security experts not only around the world, but living in the Middle East that have tracked their movements and numbers over years and they ARE growing. To add insult to injury, they have the internet, which gives them an endless amount of communications. That's how they tried to recruit the group of teens from the U.S. Aside from everything you have heard, it is very safe to say that they're even doing stuff that we haven't discovered yet. These people are nothing to joke around with. They are brutal savages. They're raping and slaughtering woman and children and beheading innocent people on camera. What else do you need to open your eyes to reality? You can deny the facts all you want, but you'll never realize what is going on in this world.

Third, I know you can't wipe out terrorism completely. I never said you could. But any person with common sense would rather have less people poisoning this world with their ruthless and heartless acts than more. But hey, maybe that's just me.

I believe you need to think about the possibilities of what can happen if we don't do something about terrorism. Let's take ISIS for example. They are extremely capable of doing serious damage to our country and other countries. They're developing nuclear weapons and finding more ways to destroy us every day that we don't do something about it. On top of that, they're growing exponentially in numbers. There was just a story in the news the other week about ISIS recruiting members from America. They're recruiting our own citizens and you don't want to do anything about it. They have made multiple direct threats to our country as a whole. What do we have to do? Should we just wait for another 9/11 to happen? NO. We go straight forward and wipe them out before they decide to actually do something.

Yes, it absolutely does make sense. Let me put it to you this way. There are very very small trace amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (0.04%). Carbon dioxide is used in our respiratory system to breathe and breathing is obviously an important part of life. However, to touch on what you are saying, if I breathed in only carbon dioxide, that would be bad. But that's not what happens. The same goes for oxygen. If you were to breathe in just oxygen, that also has the potential to be fatal. But again, that't not what happens. At all. The fact of the matter is that we NEED certain amounts of these gases in order to sustain life as we know it. And personally, I think to say that with the huge size of the earth, to say that 0.04% of something is enough to heat is up and demolish it is foolish.

If that whole scandal just shows them in a bad light and they have nothing to hide, then maybe you can explain to me why they violated the freedom-of-information act and were reluctant to give any information that was requested.

As for the scientist thing, it just proves that you can't trust every scientist's generalized opinion, especially with matters such as this one.

Okay so let's take what you're saying to be true (which it isn't) for argument's sake. If the sea level is rising, where's the evidence? It seems like the whole world is waiting for a flood that's never gonna happen. There were many predictions that multiple major cities would be completely under water by now, so what happened to that? This whole global warming thing is based on computer models that are wrong, no actual science (well actually, just bad science).

Oh yeah? No evidence? According to the Fish and Wildlife

Service, they've more than doubled. Need more? A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations "may now be near historic highs." If you want to go ahead and deny that, then this is a lost cause. As for the seals, I'm curious to know if you have any evidence pertaining to that.
