If that were the case, Turner would have changed his lifestyle to reflect his belief rather than flying around in his CO2-spewing private jet. And his gigantic home(s). And his carbon-heavy lifestyle. Ted Turner believes we should kill our

blasting Obama for not shoving cap-and-trade down our throats:
U.S. President Barack Obama made a “big mistake” in pushing health-care legislation before climate change, billionaire Ted Turner said today.
“We would have an energy climate change bill in the United States if President Obama had made that his top priority and brought that to the American people and Congress first rather than the health-care bill,” Turner, founder of Time Warner Inc.’s CNN, said today at a conference in Cancun, Mexico. “But he didn’t, and I think it was a big mistake.”
This is the same conference where the UN delegates were praying to a pagan god. (
Why the hell not? United Nations global warming negotiators pray to a Mayan god)
...“The climate bill is much more important than health care because the climate situation is about life and death whereas the health-care bill was much more limited,” Turner, 72, said.
Healthcare is not about life and death, but non-existent global warming is. Got it. And recently:
