"The year 2040 will find the world's crops dead, most of the people in a similar state of decay, and those few left alive will be cannibals, according to a prediction from Ted Turner, founder of Turner Broadcasting and CNN.
His comments came in an hour-long interview with Charlie Rose on PBS, and some remarks about the environment, the U.S. war on terror and the U.S. military were compiled by Newsbusters into an abbreviated video.
"Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state like Somalia or the Sudan," said Turner, calling future living conditions intolerable.
The media mogul was interviewed in his role as founder of the United Nations Foundation, to which he has donated hundreds of millions of dollars in pursuit of solutions to global "problems."
He said drastic action – immediately – is required to address global warming.
"Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll be eight degrees hotter in 10, not 10 but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals," Turner said.
He said civilization will have collapsed and "the droughts will be so bad there'll be no more corn grown. Not doing it is suicide."
WND previously reported multiple challenges by top scientists and their organizations to the theory that global warming is caused by man and is ravaging the world."
