Interviewed Tuesday for Charlie Rose's PBS show, CNN founder Ted Turner argued that inaction on global warming will be catastrophic and those who don't die will be cannibals. He also applied moral equivalence in describing Iraqi insurgents as patriots who simply don't like us because we've invaded their country and so if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing. On not taking drastic action to correct global warming:
Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.
Turner ridiculed the need for a big U.S. military, insisting China just wants to sell us shoes. They're not building landing craft to attack the United States, and even with our $500 billion military budget, we can't win in Iraq. We're being beaten by insurgents who don't even have any tanks. After Rose pointed out the Iraqi insurgents have a lot of roadside bombs that kill a lot of Americans and wondered where do you think they come from?, Turner answered:
I think that they're patriots and that they don't like us because we've invaded their country and occupied it. I think if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing: we'd be bombing them too. Nobody wants to be invaded.

Geez, every time Turner expresses his opinions publicly, he shows what a leftist loon he really is.

In 1994 Ted Danson said if global Warming continued, life as we knew it would end in 10 years. It did. Oh, wait....that's right....it didn't. (-:

Some analysts of Ted Turner's spending conclude that his famous decades-long spending spree on ranchland is part of a deliberate strategy to control much of the Ogallala Aquifer that supplies water to a large portion of the Midwest and West.
They surmise that ultimately he would put this land in conservancy as some kind of trust, and that after his death it would essentially be a very large bargaining chip in the hands of a radical environmentalist foundation.

Global warming will cause massive capitalism. Sorry Ted, millions won’t die unless you kill them.

...4 people to a house, each house on 1/4 acre ... That's 16 people per acre. Assuming a world population of 6 billion, all in Texas, it would work out to roughly 35 per acre.

OK, how many people living in a city have 1/8 acre for their house with 4 people?
Not many.
The point is still the same - the world is NOT overpopulated.
