Well, global warming is certainly a big issue that shouldn’t be ignored anymore than these other issues, but when you put it like that, I suppose it does seem like small potatoes in comparison. No wonder people see so reluctant to rally behind it.
In typical political fashion, though, I do think a couple of these are a little exaggerated, namely Russia and probably Iran, as the people involved show their more stuck in the past than interested in moving towards a better future. ISIS is certainly an issue, though, but there’s no right solution for them. We’re in trouble if we don’t act against them, we’re in trouble if we do. And why is it that America’s the only one who’s expected to fix all the world problems? Out of the hundreds of countries in the world, are we really the only one who’s capable of even lifting a finger against ISIS? I mean, sure, that’s probably a gross exaggeration on my part, but I can’t help but think all the other countries in the world could be doing more to fight ISIS too.
Anyway…
Debt and the shortage of jobs both fall under the economy, and that’s certainly an issue that needs resolving, perhaps more so than global warming in the sense that otherwise we might not actually be able to afford to fight global warming. But I’m no economist, so I won’t pretend I know the right and wrongs of that situation.
China I feel is more of a “wait and see” scenario. They MIGHT become a problem, but for the moment, I’m hesitant to say they’re anything we need to take immediate action against, in light of these other issues.
