From the Charlie Rose Show:
TED TURNER: 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. 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. The droughts will be so bad there'll be no more corn grown. Not doing it is suicide. Just like dropping bombs on each other, nuclear weapons is suicide. We've got to stop doing the suicidal two things, which are hanging on to our nuclear weapons and after that we've got to stabilize the population. When I was born-
CHARLIE ROSE: So what's wrong with the population?

He 100% right. I'll tell you he was talking about human overpopulation back in the mid-1970's. The earth had 3.5 billion people. It is now 2009 and there are nearly SEVEN BILLION people. It's doubled since 1970's. The bigger population, the quicker it grows.
First of all: Ted Turner is one of the wealthiest people on earth. He is the largest individual landowner in the US (1,910,000 acres), and since he is a media mogul (Time Warner, AOL, Turner Entertainment, CNN etc.), he has tremendous power to shape peoples minds. Although he is not inclined to allow people to have children, he himself is the father of five. This guy thinks, the world is made solely for his pleasure and demands to shape it to his liking.
