Radicalized terrorism or climate change

By Jim Killebrew

[February 12, 2015]  So, if the President believes that ISIS and other terrorist groups around the world are only a minor part of the world's problems, while CLIMATE CHANGE is the greatest threat to mankind, he must believe in at least two principles of responses to his calculation of world problems. His response to the terror that is rampant in killing tens of thousands of people in the world is only short-term and can be dealt with easily. He believes in the long-term, on the global perspective, climate change will affect more millions than the movements of terrorists.

The only problem with that thinking is he must believe that terrorists who are moving like locust across several parts of the world must share his concerns of climate change being the most important threat to human nature. He must believe that once they have subdued the major part of the world through force, they will turn their attention toward cleaning up the environment in the world. If they seem not concerned with their activities of destroying the infrastructures in territories they conquer as they progress in that conquest, how is it possible they would be interested in protecting the environment after they have murdered great numbers of the populations they take over?

Perhaps the President should rethink his position of what is the most important issue facing the security of the peoples of the United States and of the world. The short-term goal should be to shut down those whose objective is to kill as many people as necessary to impose their radical objectives, bring peace and security to the country, and then perhaps look toward protecting the environment if climate change proves to be a threat to the existence of life on earth.
