Interesting that, globally at least, climate change almost polls higher than ISIS as the number one threat to international security. In the U. S., the figures are 74% ISIS, 54% climate change.

I think proximity would change the results - ask people the same questions in Syria or Iraq. As these are the people greatest affected by ISIS seems that this poll is somewhat biased - in favored of ISIS by not asking. A couple of thing that stick out - there are 196 countries - only 38 countries included in this global servery. As well Russia, US, and Turkey are not asked the same questions - I can only guess in an attempt to remove any bias/nationalist responses. China not asked about global warming also skews result. Hate to bash this - but it looks like someone having fun with numbers.

Not sure. They differently cross threaded the definition of security threat. Surprised asteroid from space and zombie apocalypses weren't included. To me US, China, and Russian influence are responsibly for ISIS, refugee problem and global economics as well possibly climate change. They have causes and results in the same basket.
