Oh, bueno, será otro modo de volver a los orígenes...Leed los maravillosos comentarios que la gente le dedica: el más leve es llamarle hipócrita y se lo merece...Sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que ya se han producido muertes como consecuencia de la necesidad de imponer los biocombustibles sin ver antes las consecuencias (1, 2).Y atención: uno de los tíos con una fortuna personal más importante del mundo, dice que somos muchos y que estaban usando "muchas cosas". Oye, ¿y para cuándo el uso del transporte público? Sí, ese en el que tan pronto alguien te pega a la nariz un -digámoslo en basto- "sobaco cantarín" como otro se pone a leer el libro que tú estás leyendo por encima del hombro. Si hay huelga del servicio tienes que ir a patita. Y no sigo porque no creo que usted haya h
Here’s something to perk you up this morning. According to Ted Turner, 30 to 40 years from now most of humanity will be dead because the planet will be eight degrees hotter causing a near total crop failure. The survivors will be living in a failed state such as Sudan or Somalia and [...]
Ted Turner appeared on Charlie Rose on April 1st, and gave his uncensored opinion on the credit crisis and global warming (below), and the patriotism of Iraqi insurgents. Incendiary comments for some, refreshing talk for me. Cheers, Ted!

The global warming cause is probably not going to be helped by a billionaire kook who seems like he just watched "I Am Legend" the other night and thinks that will be reality in a few years.I think the idea of flooded coasts due to arctic icecaps melting should be a sufficient place to start for debate. Or perhaps Ted Turner should come up with a cartoon to raise awareness...

Once again I have to start another global warming post by saying that I thought I had heard it all when it comes to global warming, but this takes the cake. Once again I have to say that the global warming alarmists are just getting more and more insane with every passing day. So you [...]
Ted Turner claims we are going to be cannibals thanks to global warming. On not taking drastic action to correct global warming:
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 [...]
Ted Turner, on what will happen if global warming is not addressed immediately:

Highlights of Carl Sagan Interviewed by Ted Turner 5 of 5 (This interview was recorded in 1989. For the full part of this interview please watch the clip below.)Ted Turner:Well what do you think. Do you think there was the conventional concept of God or did it just happen?Carl Sagan:Well, that's not the full range of possibilities. Ted Turner:Well that's true. We could have come here from somewhere else.Carl Sagan:That's also possible, but...Ted Turner:But, where did we come from before that?Carl Sagan:Absolutely! You want to watch out for the infinite regress.Ted Turner:What's your personal opinion? Put you on the spot, a little bit.Carl Sagan:I'm a scientist. I go where the evidence goes, not what I personally would like to believe. I would love to believe, I would love to believe, that there was a God, who made us, who is looking out for us, loves us, takes care of us......... because we are such a mess, we are doing things so wrong. Then we would be relieved of the responsibi
Highlights of Carl Sagan Interviewed by Ted Turner 4 of 5 (This interview was recorded in 1989. For the full part of this interview please watch the clip below.)Carl Sagan:We may be more the problem than the technology.Ted Turner:Carl, do you think there is life anywhere else in the universe?Carl Sagan:If you look at how many other worlds there are. How many stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. How likely that most of them have planets. How many other galaxies there are. It seems the height of human arrogance to imagine that this planet is the only inhabited world. But, at the same time, we don't know of life elsewhere yet. We are just at the earliest stages of exploration and we have not found life anywhere else. We've sent spacecrafts, as I've said before, to a wonderful, exquisite array of other worlds. We learnt an enormous amount from them. We find on some of them the chemicals necessary for the origins of life. You know, the stirrings, the intonations of life, but no sign of life.
Highlights of Carl Sagan Interviewed by Ted Turner 3 of 5 (This interview was recorded in 1989. For the full part of this interview please watch the clip below.)Ted Turner:Carl, you've been involved with the space program for the last 30 years in a very major way. What do you feel are the greatest benefits that have accrued from our expenditure and exploration of space?Carl Sagan:There is a huge number of them.... Satellite Communications... it binds the Earth together... technology is binding the Earth together.... Another aspect that I think is tremendously important is those photographs of Earth alone in space. Fragile, blue world in this vast blackness, this vacuum, velvety vacuum of space. And its clear very thin atmosphere, its so sensitive to the depredations of human beings. You look at that and you say, hey that's only one little world, we have nowhere else to go, no other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings. Its this world or nothing. That is a
Highlights of Carl Sagan Interviewed by Ted Turner 2 of 5 (This interview was recorded in 1989. For the full part of this interview please watch the clip below.)Carl Sagan:Nuclear Winter is the predicted, from physics calculation, cooling and darkening of the Earth following nuclear war. What happens is, mainly from the burning of cities, fine particles get put up and block sunlight, so it gets darker and cooler. We did more than 5 years ago, a set of calculations showing that the effect were horrendous even from a small nuclear war. That the burning of a hundred down towns globally was enough to produce a hemisphere of a global nuclear winter.If Nation A makes a massive attack, for whatever reason, on Nation B, and Nation B does not do anything to defend itself or to retaliate. Nevertheless, the smoke that gets raised over Nation B circulates around the world covers Nation A. Nation A gets cold and dark and the agriculture fails. And Nation A has destroyed itself by launching a nucle
