Lol. You should run for Prez on that platform!

I used to think it was global warming until Trump asked "If we have nuclear weapons, why don't we use them?" Really?

People die prematurely every year from pollution from fossil fuels. How many people die annually due to nuclear weapons or power?

Nuclear weapons are a concern, but I don't think it's the biggest danger to the world and neither is climate change for that matter. There are more pressing problems then either.

Liberal policies are the biggest threat.

Climate change, regardless of who specifically causes it, would win this one, and it's not it's own choice on the list. Why? Based on millions of years of evidence, climate change in various forms causes the worst of extinction events. Even on a small scale, it has wrecked human civilizations in the past. It can be made worse by fossil fuel burning, sure, though it can also be caused by the fallout from a nuclear war. The climate also changes gradually on its own, which can cause problems - or, it can change suddenly from a massive volcanic eruption or asteroid impact. So, I vote for the choice that includes climate change, although I do NOT believe that ALL of it is being caused by humans - though some of it obviously is (unless you're a right-winger who doesn't believe in science.)

That being said, with the threat of that violent loon Trump taking office and being so eager to use nukes to prove that "his is bigger than everyone else's," the threat of nukes is certainly higher than it has been in decades.

Vote Trump - vote for extinction!?

The climate will always change.

The US, France and U.K. And Soviet Union and the net effect of all that atmospheric testing was what? One atoll contaminated. Big deal.

Obama votes nuclear via his use of an armada of aircraft to visit a beach nearly half way across the globe.

Billions of people's lives are enhanced by fossil fuels every year. Fossil fuels have benefited humans more than anything in man's history.

AGW legislation kills poor people every year.

You seem to have forgotten Japan.

Climate change is a natural occurrence to which mankind has time to make adjustments for our survival and comfort. Nuclear catastrophe can occur in an instant with no chance of making any adjustments to ensure survival.
