How readers responded to the Advocate.com poll question featured in the January 16 issue of The Advocate

* "Terrorism or not, no one will be safe if the present warming of the earth continues. A Terrorist can kill only a few at a time, but warming will eventually kill us all."

* "Yes, almost as much of a threat as the kidnapping of our government by the hateful. homophobic Christians of America."

* "Terrorism is a serious, more immediate threat. Global warming is an equally serious but longer-term threat. Both should be addressed and meaningful; sometimes painful changes should be made."

* "We know terrorism is real. We don't know if global warming is real. Many of the same "scientists" now warning us about global warming were warning us of the 'coming' ice age about 30 years ago."

* "If global warming is truly something we can change, it is still not a matter of national security, as it would affect all nations equally, not just the U.S."

* "If we don't save our planet, there will be no earth to terrorize--duh!"

* "Which city do you think would be the first to be 'cleaned up' if sharia law were to take over? Uh ... could it be San Francisco? Wake up, brothers and sisters! We've got to save ourselves!"
