In an instantaneous poll, the Wall Street Journal asked the audience to
select the most pressing societal problem from a list of five that
included infectious disease (malaria, AIDs, etc.), terrorism and global
warming.
Global warming was the most popular response, receiving 31 percent of
the vote, while infectious disease was far behind in last place with
only 3 percent of the vote.
It's an amazing result given that billions are sickened and millions die
every year from infectious disease.
The consequences of future global warming, on the other hand, are
entirely speculative.

"...and I think future generations are not going to blame us for
anything except for being silly, for letting a few tenths of a degree
panic us"
Dr. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Meteorology MIT and Member of the
National Academy of Sciences
"What most commentators-and many scientists-seem to miss is that the
only thing we can say with certainly about climate is that it changes"
Dr. Richard Lindzen
[most of the current alarm over climate change is based on] "inherently
untrustworthy climate models, similar to those that cannot accurately
forecast the weather a week from now." Dr. Richard Lindzen
