Ted Turner, multi-billionaire and CNN founder, discussing the need to reduce global population by 5 billion people to prevent “global warming” in 2008:
“We’ve got to stabilise the population… 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.”
