[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2109528, member: 56035"] its not 1 percent lol. a fraction of 1 percent so maybe 0.1% or something. but lets just go with your 1 percent number. that is extremely unlikely. now lets say your philosophy on climate change is its possible (.1% chance of happening) but not probable. question is for you so called conservatives: [B] you support the war on terrorism (costs 1.5 trillion per year in USA) even though there is an extremely low possibility of it occuring to you personally. why not support action on man made global warming if you think the same?[/B] here is another list of things more likely to kill you than terrorists. question is if these things kill americans more, and terrorists kill so few americans, why is there no war on these things and whats with all the terrorist hype? before the terrorists, there was the russians. im guessing the odds of an america dying because of a russian were also very low. from antimedia: [B]1.
