“Captain Planet and the Planeteers” was an animated television series produced by depopulationist billionaire Ted Turner, founder of the United Nations Foundation and CNN, and fellow climate alarmist Barbara Pyle, the co-founder of one of America’s first legal abortion facilities.

The show, which aired in over 100 countries from 1990 to 1996, was a brazen work of pagan liberal propaganda that impressed upon American children various radical notions beyond just demonizing affordable energy, mining, Western industry, and capitalism.
It had a hand in shaping the minds of some of those climate alarmists now involved in demonstrations, public tantrums, ruinous leftist policies, and vandalism.
With public concern about changing weather patterns down by double digits in parts of the West, radicals evidently feel it’s time for a revival of the green-haired officer: Netflix is set to become home for a live-action adaptation of “Captain Planet.”
According to Deadline, the series will be developed by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, Warner Bros. Television, and Greg Berlanti’s Berlanti Productions. Warner Bros. Television, where Berlanti Productions is under a deal, will reportedly be the studio, reported Variety.
DiCaprio — the climate activist who downgraded last year to a $25 million superyacht and who suggested that a normal, recurrent weather phenomenon was an instance of “scary” climate change — will reportedly serve as an executive producer. The series will be written by Tara Hernandez, co-creator of the series “Mrs. Davis.”
DiCaprio’s involvement is a good indicator that the new show will pick up where the original left off: advancing a leftist worldview and suggesting to young Americans that human beings are harmful to the planet.
Every episode in the original series opened with this narration:
Our world is in peril. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet. She gives five magic rings to five special young people. From Africa, Kwame with the power of earth. From North America, Wheeler with the power of fire. From the Soviet Union [later changed to Eastern Europe], Linka with the power of wind. From Asia, Gi with the power of water. And from South America, Ma-Ti with the power of heart. When the five powers combined, they summon earth’s greatest champion — Captain Planet!
There was nothing subtle about the agenda behind the show, which boasted vocal cameos from big-name actors including Jeff Goldblum, Tim Curry, Martin Sheen, and Sting, and whose titular protagonist threatened to “take pollution down to zero.”
In one episode, the showrunners took a page out of the Chinese Communist Party’s agenda and advocated for reducing the size of families, suggesting that large populations are unsustainable.
“Did you know the population of the world is now more than 5 billion?” Captain Planet asks one of Gaia’s child soldiers.
“Wow! That is a lot of people!” responds one of the children. “And it’s increasing by 90 million people each year,” says another.
“So when it is your turn to have a family, keep it small,” the Soviet and North American characters say in conclusion.
The green-haired protagonist emphasized to those viewers who would grow up to witness a catastrophic population collapse, “The more people there are, the more pressure you put on our planet.”
This particular episode, “Population Bomb,” borrowed its title from depopulationist Paul Ehrlich’s magnum opus, a 1968 book whose faulty thesis helped inspire China’s one-child policy, resulting in hundreds of millions of abortions.
As with Ehrlich’s doomsaying about the population bomb, which never went off, his other major anti-human and anti-natalist predictions similarly failed to come true.
