Ted, This Tastes Like Chicken

In last Thursday's Atlanta Urinal Constipation there was a leading story containing Ted Turner's comments on global population growth. Mr. Turner stands squarely behind the opinion that the combination of global warming and population growth will lead to cannibalism.

"We're too many people; that's why we have global warming,"
"Too many people are using too much stuff."

Logical statements if you accept the premise, population drives energy use, energy production and usage generate heat, byproducts of energy production cause a the greenhouse effect, finally this insulating layer holds more heat against the planet.
The story written from an interview by PBS's Charlie Rose goes farther...

"If steps aren't taken to stem global warming, we'll be eight degrees hotter in
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,"

One could argue that a warmer climate would increase the length of growing seasons, making production greater. The statement about cannibalism is ludicrous, in Africa where there are numerous food shortages, there is starvation but not common cannibalism. As harsh as is sounds, population does reach equilibrium.
Global warming is a scientifically disputed hypotheses. This is a hypothesis that extrapolates short term temperature variance into long term catastrophic results. Scientific study has demonstrated that temperature has fluctuated throughout measurable time with correlation to variations in solar radiation.
With the scientific explosion of the last 150 years, man has often overstated is permanent effect on nature. Just 35 years ago, some in the the scientific community were preaching that we were on the verge of a new ice age. Ted's interview is verbal crap on top of scientific crap. Ted Turner, the infamous "Mouth of the South" receives my Davis Cup Award for being an ass.
Ted, please just STFU.
