Turner: Global Warming Will Cause Mass Cannibalism, Insurgents Are Patriots
By Brent Baker | April 2, 2008 - 02:18 ET
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. |

I am surprised at you TT....
Don't you know the more money that a person has, the smarter they are? And the more money that a person has, they are totally correct when it comes to social issues and we're supposed to do what they say? <eye roll> |

| "Most people will die, and the rest of us will be cannibals". I see where Ted puts himself. Roast sirloin of Jane? Ted's even wackier than she is. Al Gore, the "premier expert" on "global warming" pays more in one month for utilities on one of his mansions than I pay in a year. Isn't it wonderful how all the liberal elites practice what they preach? |

I see, so because of his connection with Jane Fonda his opinion is worthless. He's not telling you to DO anything, he's giving an opinion.
How the hell do you manage to drag Gore into this? What has that to do with it? Does he bother you so deeply that you can't leave it alone? What did he do to you, exactly? Tell you the truth? Why not drag out ALL the dirt on him? Oh wait, maybe because that's ALL YOU GOT?! |
