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?
first?
first again
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.

perez read page 3 elton the elephant.
could be you?!!!
Insurgents are murderers for religious beliefs, they would kill any infidel or homosexual on the spot, NO MATTER WHERE THEY WERE FROM. Also you can not be a patriot when you are not fighting for your own countries. 90% of insurgents are NOT Iraqis they are from other countries coming to participate in the big JIHAD. Hello idiots, they would kill you here if they could get to you…ya that is a Patriot.
DUH!! INSURGENTS ARE THE SAME AS PATRIOTS. WE JUST CHANGE THE NAME TO GAIN MORE SUPPORT TO OUR SIDE. ANY INVASION TO OUR SOIL WE'RE PATRIOTS, BUT IF WE INVADE ANOTHER COUNTRY THEY ARE INSURGENTS. AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT JOINING THE MILITARY, NO WARS WILL BE LIKE THE ONES OUR DADS & GRANDPARENTS FOUGHT IN. UNLESS BOTH TEAMS INVOLVED ARE WEARING UNIFORMS. WE ARE THE ONLY ONES DOING THIS & THE PEOPLE WE ATTACK LOOK JUST LIKE THE ONES WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO LIVE WHILE THEIR HOMES ARE GETTING THE SHIT BOMBED OUT OF THEM.
See what happens to your brain after being married to Jane Fonda? AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
Ted Turner and Bill Gates of buying into depopulation plans
Sad but true ……..
Re: hilary – All of you that agree with him ARE SOOOOO STUPID. The Iraqi people want US THERE. IT'S INSURGENTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT DON'T WANT US THERE.
Stephen Colbert made heavy reference to the Illuminati and their plan to depopulate the world, noting that he too can make strange hand signs and wants to be recruited. Whether Colbert takes depopulation seriously or not, it truly is a key part of the globalist’s plan for world domination– as documented
bet he voted for ron paul.
And where's the problem, all of which he said is accurate. If global warming continues we wont be able to grow crops or raise food, it will be a survival of the fittest environment. 2 thumbs up
Re: Resident Jerk – SO SLOPPY SECOND.
Colbert brings up the Illuminati in conjunction with Benjamin Fulford, a former Forbes magazine writer, who alleges that the Illuminati network seeks to use race-specific biological weapons to decrease populations to 500,000,000 in the whole world.
My sentiments exactly. Why isn't Ted Turner running for president?
So, basically what he's saying is, it's ok for you to kill your OWN people, just don't go anywhere else and kill the ones that are killing their own. Oh yeah, fabulous theory, Ted. Go back to peddling your bison burgers.
sounds awful familiar to "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy
A Chinese secret society with 6 million members, including 1.8 million Asian gangsters and 100,000 professional assassins, have targeted Illuminati members if they proceed with world depopulation plans, according to Tokyo-based journalist.
I Guess China is 1st on the list.
no wonder he married jane fonda
ROTFLMAO… I always knew children wrote in, but the fact that you think we'll all resort to cannabalism is hysterical. When you get a bit older than the melodramatic stages of your early 20's or you die from old age (like Ted Turner should,) you will understand how rediculous such assumptions truly are.
As for the Iraq thing. Hmm…the word DUH comes to mind. No one thinks that was a good ideea still, do they? DUH.
The sky is falling. The sky is falling. He looks like some good barbeque with a little tenderizer.
radical depopulation schemes have been published in a number of government documents. It is a major subject in the White House.
Sad to say but he's EXACTLY RIGHT! Way to go Ted! Finally someone speaks the truth! Sorry everyone but the truth hurts and I give major props to those with the balls to say it!!!!!
Such a stupid man especially if you read interviews from the past…..
race-specific bioweapons sold to them by Israel.
Mass Cannibalism, Insurgents Are Patriots,
Using big words doesn't make you smart.
Dick Cheney mentions the use of race-specific bioweapons in future warfare!
Henry Kissinger endorsed major planks of the 1944 Royal Commission on Population, headed by George VI and included them in his NSSM 200 memorandum on population reduction, which lists 13 countries for specific targeting and mentions that “food is a weapon.” Clearly the United Nations and its subsidiaries also participate in pushing this agenda
If it were strictly Iraqis that were doing the killing, those would be valid points, but it's not. Not to mention the fact that they certainly don't mind killing plenty of their own people in the process. If it WERE just "patriotic insurgents", why are there so many Iraqis being killed? Kind of hard to justify "fighting against invaders" when you kill more of your own kind than the "invaders" do.
Also, many of the United States’ most wealthy contribute billions to population reduction programs, including Ted Turner, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, just to name a few.
Prince Philip has stated his wish to return to earth as a deadly virus in order to cull human population. Dr. Eric Pianka, of the University of Texas, calls for 90% population reduction to stabilize the earth.
Even the esoteric Georgia Guidestones call for a world population of not more than 500,000,000.
Re: Heidi – well said heidi. you actually know whats going on better than turner
“Effects of Scientific Technique”
“If there is not to be an endless succession of wars, population will have to became stationary throughout the world, and this will probably have to be done in many countries as a result of governmental measures….[or] War may become so destructive that, at any rate for a time, there is no danger of overpopulation.”
this is not an original thought the cannibalism theory is actually from an anthony burgess novel titled "the wanting seed" so you can't crucify him for it
Re: Heidi
You're mixing up stuff here. A huge majority of insurgents are Iraqis. 90% of SUICIDE BOMBERS are NOT Iraqis. That's totally different. No one has called those idiots patriots.
YO GREEN FREAKS—-ASK TED IF HIS BUFFALO FOR STEAKS AND BURGERS HE SELLS, PLUS SUPPLIES HIS RESTAURANTS WITH, PRODUCE LESS METHANE THAN COWS. Yeah, Ted's a REAL global environmentalist.
YOU PEOPLE ARE WORSE THAN FUCKING SHEEP.
This man is clinically retarded. What a total effing tool, The idea of "Man Made" Global warming is INSANE NARCISSISTIC AND MORONIC - At Best!
The fuckinG SCIENTISTS who SHARED the Nobel prize with your new god "The Gore"….DISAGREED WITH MUCH OF HIS THEORIES—-BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE ACTUAL SCIENCE!!! And SCIENCE > Theory.
The fucking SUN is Getting hotter check the facts..MAN HAS NO BEARING ON THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GODDAMN SUN. And the rate at which "Humans" actually add to the warming of the earths atmosphere is so minute it's silly to even consider.
Good to see the brainwashed lefties sucking the teat of ignorance. The insurgents in Iraq aren't patriots because they are comprised of two groups - foreign fighters who are in Iraq solely to sow discord, create anarachy, fight U.S. troops and destabilize a fragile DEMOCRATIC Iraqi government and ex-Saddam loyalists who seek largely the same. To equate these villains with legitimate patriotism shows the small-mindedness of liberal thinking. And not every country is against invasion. I know history is a minor inconvenience to lefties, but I don't recall the French rising up against U.S. liberation during World War II. Just as I can remember thousands of Iraqis lining the streets and cheering our tanks parading through Baghdad. Ted Turner is a moron. Always has been, always will be. He is only rich because his daddy left him a bundle. Anyone who would marry Jane "I just dropped the c-word on live TV" Fonda is prime for the nuthouse.
He may have put it into some flamboyant terms, but whe HE IS RIGHT HE IS RIGHT!!!!!!!
LOL
This is not a Headline of the "weak". This is the headline of the Century. Yes, it's a dramatic perspective on the situation…but does it not take a dramatic perspective to get people's attention these days. Quite frankly, Perez, given your political views I'm surprised that you're not embracing this.
I love how people think this is ridiculous. Cannibalism exists in times of major famine, happened in Hong Kong in the late 1800s happening in N. Korea now.
So he's probably right.
Also the war in Iraq is illegal, insurgents are patriots, it's all relative.
Re: MARACANAZO1950 – Dude, step away from the kool-aid. You have seen "Conspiracy Theory" waaaaay too many times. Are you taking this directly from "Paranoid's Home Journal"?? You scare me more than a hunting trip with Dick Cheney.
Did he just recently switch to Scientology??? Sounds like something they would predict
Somebody had to say it
He does have valid points. They are a little too black and white, but he does have points. It's partly that we don't want to hear it, and partly because they aren't backed up by studies.
Also one major point to note is that CNN probably won't report on this because even though Turner isn't on any decision making board for CNN he's still got some influence somewhere.
OH FUK YEAH!!!
I KNEW THAT ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE WOULD COME IN HANDY SOME DAY!!!
I CANT WAIT TO POP ME SOME ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This man is brilliant and should run for president. And I'm being totes serious.
Re: Luke – Yes, you are totally right, I'm POSITIVE the end of the world will go PRECISELY like "Mad Max" or "Waterworld". Oh Hollywood, how you do inspire the imagination.
Look at the movie SOILENT GREEN.
Ted Turner is right.
Go Ted Turner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, now we know how he was married to traitor Jane Fonda for so long.
Patriots???? Patriots love their country and fight for it because it is the right thing to do, not because they want to have power over another group and dictate thier ass backwards belief…Insurgents are just like gang members. They revel in creating fear and pain, ruling by intimidation and terror.
This A-hole talks and talks, but provides no solutions…
Uhh.. he is right about the insurgents.. duh
Re: MARACANAZO1950 – Yeah, there's a secret society with 6 million members IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY??????? Come on back to Rationalland, honey, you have officially gone waaaaay the fuck out there.
ABSOLUTELY DEAD ON!!!!
THANK GOD SOME AMERICANS STILL HAVE BRAINS!!!
I agree with him 100 percent… Too bad everyone is living in the delerium that everything is fine.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!! Truth is waiting for you.
Fuck this senile old communist bastard, and fuck all of you who agree with his warped point of view.
my kinda guy
shut up shut up shut up i have a child so shut up i want him to have a wonderful long happy life so shut up with this crap
