Ted Turner urges global one-child policy to save planet

[Marenco]

Climate change and population control can make for a politically explosive mix, as media mogul Ted Turner demonstrated Sunday when he urged world leaders to institute a global one-child policy to save the Earth’s environment.

Mr. Turner spoke at a luncheon where economist Brian O’Neill from the U.S.’s National Center for Atmospheric Research unveiled his study on the impact of demographic trends on future greenhouse gas emission, a little-discussed subject given its political sensitivity.

My response to population reductionists is always the same:

You first.

China has one-child policy,but neve suceeds,people always find ways to give birth to the babies,the policy only creates gigantic bureaucracy which is good for the government!

How many kids does he have? Five right? So Ted, who is the one child you wish to keep? Laura Lee, Robert Edward, Rhett, Beau or Jennie... who ever it is, the rest have got to go.

Strange, he has the other peoples children in mind.
