Should have engaged brain before opening mouth.........

..... or, just maybe, a prescient view of what might happen to humanity over the coming decades?

Ted Turner (the 'mouth of the south') has had a habit of saying controversial things throughout his life, but some of his comments on what might happen if mankind does not address climate change are, quite frankly, frightening. He thinks overpopulation is the key factor, and thus raises the policy that dare not speak it's name, yet again.

The comments are reported in Information Liberation (not a publication I've come across before).

I'll leave you, the reader, to draw your own conclusions on this one. (Looks like it could be a tough future for vegetarians though. [Tongue very much in cheek])

  1. More Soylent Green, vicar?

    I kinda wish we didn't get lectured quite so much by older muli-billionaires who have just woken up to what they have helped create... but often don't see why some of the cutbacks need really apply to them.

    Because he's worth it:)

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
