Global Warming Cost Versus War Costs

The cost of curbing the soaring emissions of harmful gases that are blamed for causing global warming has been estimated at $1 trillion by a major study of the cost of climate change.

The Pentagon has called global warming a bigger threat to US security than terrorism.

The cost of just the invasion of Iraq is expected to top more than $2 trillion.

This does not take into account the cost of the rest of the War on Terror, in Afghanistan, etc., and all the new Homeland Security programs and reductions in civil liberties. Many agree that this war is based on lies and is breeding terrorists who hate America.
