Turner: Global Warming Will Cause Mass Cannibalism, Insurgents Are Patriots
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 hottest 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.
FaBULOUS MAN!
So Firsty!

Good for him!
SO TRUE.
Sick, but I kinda agree.
UGH.
HE HIT HIT TE NAIL ON THE HEAD! TO BAD NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL ITS TOO LATE>>>> WER"RE ALL FUCKED
Not that I completely agree with everything he said, but he does have a valid argument.
he's right.
This man has gone crazy
Such a looooooooooooooooooooooser.
hmmmmmmmmm*
second!
ideas so idiotic, they don't deserve a comment.
**rolling eyes and walking away**
wow… someone wants some man meat
who is this nut?

Re: dena – damn that was really quick hahah
Hey, They don't call Ted Turner "Mouth of The South" for nothing…
I do think Ted has a point…
Fuck yeah! Finally some truth in this world
huh
My neighbour already ate his son cuz of global warming
ur next perez
feh lulzzz
wow interesting…………x
woohoo #1
He makes a few very valid points- I think I like this guy now!
Yikes.
I like zombie movies, but…this vision is a little excessive.
Did you actually read it? Because he does make a lot of sense.
The Mouth from the South spoke some bitter truths, but he'll be attacked for it. Did "Hanoi Jane" rub off on him, or is it all Ted Turner?
Re: mega –
MEGA, YOU ARE A RETARD. STEP OUT OF YOUR RED STATE BULLSHIT AND TAKE A LOOK AROUND! AND STOP COMMENTING, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
nothing to outrageous there…and he's right about the insurgents…
its lunacy to think that when you invade a country, folks are going to line the streets and thank you for blowing them up…like 'hey joe..thanks for all the shock and awe…most impressive'.
of course, most will read this and either ridicule him for his belief that something should be done about global warming, or say he's unpatriotic or something similar….
I know that the majority of Americans will read this and think he is crazy, BUT he is right. We may not be forced to resort to cannabalism, but any outcome will be just as bad. That is, if the rest of the world doesnt first kill us all for being an imperialistic, greedy, murderous dictatorship.
fuck yeah, dude!
i can't wait to start eating people.
although not worded very well, he does have a point… who wants to be invaded
wow…the problem is : he isn't a politician so no matter what he says, it won't make a difference to those who make these decisions anyway…it seems that he is one of those people that says something like this to just get attention for something, not to really make a difference
He's a very smart man, and it does make sense.
Of course, no one wants our troops to be hurt or die.
But if the Iraquis were in Washington, we'd all be fighting!
maybe he's a little radical but i think that he has a point and what he's saying makes a lot more sense than a lot of shit i've heard lately on the issues. and isn't he right about the iraq thing? can't really argue with that, it's all about perspective.
Don't know about global warming, but he's right about Iraqis. Of course insurgents are patriots. You don't think that only Americans can be patriots, do you?
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that the threat of global warming and the like would fit the bill…. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
Twenty-six major cities around the world turned off the lights on major landmarks, plunging millions of people into darkness to raise awareness about global warming, organisers said.
Rome and London, and the South Korean capital Seoul, although not officially taking part, would turn off lights on some attractions or landmarks.
The initiative began in Sydney last year and has become a global event, sweeping across 35 countries this year.
While he may not have used as much tact as he could have to explained, it is true. I'd like to see a video of this conversation to see how he really delivered his message. The lesson is Nature isn't scary unless you try to fight it.
