Climate skeptics can thank CNN's owner

I don't believe that climate change is not happening now or has not happened in the past. However, I do think the theory of human action to be the primary engine of climate change has yet to be conclusively proven (the theory of evolution was only accepted after a 100 years of debate and study).

In that vein, I am thankful for Ted Turner's insanity because he serves as a useful warning for those who rush headlong into theories du jour. Not sure what I'm talking about? Take a look:

Now, getting back to the subject at hand. Ted is crazy and has demonstrated that effectively over the years. He is happy to embrace any theory that hints at conspiracy or disaster. The more, the merrier. His embrace of climate change and a world "full of cannibals" only serves as a useful warning that this issue merits further study.

Meanwhile, let's continue to enjoy Ted's craziness. He is the business world's best reality show and I hope that he makes it to VH1...!
