Ted Turner Says Climate Change is Critical

Leftist media mogul, and founder of CNN, Ted Turner is spouting environmental propaganda, saying climate change is "probably the most serious - and, in all fairness, the most complex - problem that humanity has ever faced."

And of course, Ted Turner is an expert on the environment, as he shipped his United Nations Foundation off to the northern part of Norway to take part in a telephone news conference: "It is really easy to understand how some people don't get it, because it's so complex and complicated," he said.

Turner's asinine rambling came in response to questions posed by reporter Sunny Lewis of the Environment News Service. “A few climate skeptics and deniers seem to be holding up action to curb climate change,” Lewis asserted. He then asked Turner, “What can be done to convince and persuade these holdouts as to actually realize what so many scientists know and are telling us in urgent terms?”

The Communist News Network founder retorted, “That’s a very good question ... and if we knew the answer to it, we’d already have an energy policy in the United States. You know, my good friend Boone Piockens points out, and absolutely correctly, that the United States, in its history, has never had an energy policy including during the Arab oil shocks of the ‘70s, and we still don’t have (one), and we need to.

To sum it up, Mr. Turner is advocating his typical communistic approach to American exceptionalism, and in this instance, it is for the battle against "climate change." Because without the benevolent U.S. government's regulatory role in our everyday lives, the apocalypse will continue to linger at our doorsteps.

Ted Turner needs to be hooked up to a wind turbine or a solar panel and given some shock treatments.
