Ted Turner: Global warming could lead to cannibalism
Billionaire environmentalist says world has too many people

By MIKE MORRIS
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/03/08

Failure to address global warming will have us all dead or eating each other by mid-century.

So says Ted Turner, the restaurateur, environmentalist and former media mogul whose controversial comments have earned him the nickname "Mouth of the South."

If steps aren't taken to stem global warming, "We'll be eight degrees hotter in 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow," Turner said during a wide-ranging, hour-long interview with PBS's Charlie Rose that aired Tuesday.

"Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals," said Turner, 69. "Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state — like Somalia or Sudan — and living conditions will be intolerable."

Maybe Obama will have a cabinet position for this nutty bastard as well as that other nutty bastard. If he does happen to have some Fonda Fondu, that'd probably be alright.

8 degrees would put us just about exactly at the same climate of 1270 BC.

Liberals sure have some Crazies don't they. When was the last time a Conservative said such ridiculous crazy things? Libs are full of people like Ted Turner.

Honestly, eventhough I don't know you, but I'd say that if you were to meet him away from the cameras and " flash & dash"...you'd like the guy!


He's exactly what they said...a mogul who likes attention. And of course I noticed how you conservative types just took part of what he said out of context!!!!!! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Wink

His premise is right....but I don't worry about him coming after me as last time I saw him @ the local diner....he saw my new shotgun in truck!!! Wink Wink Wink

"Out of context"? WTF are you talking about? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published the story. They're the ones that chose the headline:

"Ted Turner: Global warming could lead to cannibalism"

Are you trying to say that the Urinal-Constipation is conservative now? Laughing

Heard ol' Turner on the radio a few days ago...he said in 30-40 years we will be 8 degrees warmer, people will die, crops will shrivel up and die and we'll turn into cannibals. I happened to be driving at the time I hear the crap coming out of his mouth and I almost wrecked Wink Laughing I cannot believe someone can come up with so much garbage and actually think people will believe him. It was absolutely absurd!!!!!!

I haven't been reading much on the Farm Bill or any of that lately, so I can't answer your question.
