TWO CNNs IN ONE!

“Climate change is killing our sex drive, bringing down U.S. birth rate, study says.”

—CNN headline, this past Friday.

“Ted Turner Wants Population Reduction Through China’ s ‘One Child Policy.'”

—Headline linking to a YouTube clip of Turner’s 2008 appearance on the Charlie Rose Show talking population control, which has long been one of Turner’s obsessions. As the CNN founder told Rose, “We’re too many people. That’s why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff. If there were less people, they’d be using less stuff.”

Doesn’t everything? (And yes, last year, the New York Times also went down the same Malthusian “Reducing Carbon by Curbing Population” route as Turner.)
