When I Grow Up I Wanna Be a Cannibal

Ted Turner appeared on PBS’ Charlie Rose and spoke in dire terms on the consequences of not taking drastic and immediate 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.

Let’s get this straight. In 30 years we’re all going to be cannibals? And this guy is still treated with respect and asked on other shows?

Remember on Ash Wednesday a few years ago Turner accused Catholics of being “Jesus Freaks.” My friend, I’d rather be a Jesus freak than a cannibal any day of the week.

But on the off chance that I do turn into a cannibal guess who I’m coming to see.
