While &#8220;Captain Planet and the Planeteers&#8221; cartoon is no longer airing, that doesn&#8217;t mean it has lost its influence; Hollywood isn&#8217;t quite finished with the idea, or with the pro-abortion agenda they&#8217;re trying to instill into children through a veneer of environmentalism.<\/p>\n<p>Environmentalist and filmmaker Barbara Pyle, co-creator of &#8220;Captain Planet&#8221; with population control enthusiasts and media mogul Ted Turner, also co-founded one of the first legal abortion businesses in the U.S. alongside abortionist Horace Hale Harvey III, who recently <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/us-abortionist-lacking-medical-license-died\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died<\/a>. Harvey served as the facility&#8217;s medical director, while Pyle was its administrator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Captain Planet and the Planeteers&#8221; was designed to reach as many people as possible, with the Planeteers characters as multicultural as possible, so viewers could recognize themselves in the show (to be more easily indoctrinated). And the messages on the show weren&#8217;t just about the importance of preventing pollution or recycling. Several episodes spread the myth of overpopulation, while specifically urging children to keep their future families small.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/videa.hu\/player?v=bfLOKuGD4Jd7FSaO\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>The truth about overpopulation<\/h3>\n<p>Environmentalists have been warning about the necessity of population control for decades, but the issue of overpopulation destroying the earth is a myth.

Fewer people are being born, causing the global population to age, which will cause the population of the planet to decrease as deaths outpace births.

Yet that doesn&#8217;t mean it has been forgotten. Hollywood has been working to resurrect it for years.<\/p>\n<p>Actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been attached to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/captain-planet-movie-leonardo-dicaprio-938852\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">development of a &#8220;Captain Planet&#8221; movie<\/a> for almost 10 years as a producer, with up-and-coming actor Glen Powell signed on to co-write and star in the film. Though the movie hasn&#8217;t made much progress in recent years, Powell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiewire.com\/awards\/consider-this\/glen-powell-wild-crazy-surreal-2024-interview-1235072392\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spoke about it<\/a> less than six months ago:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 25px;\"><em>I\u2019m very, very passionate about \u2018Captain Planet.\u2019 I want that one to get made. And I feel like we have a very, very strong way into that world and something that I think the world wants to see, but the people that own that property have other ideas and other plans, and that\u2019s fine. Look, I\u2019ll just keep making movies and keep doing what I\u2019m going to do, and eventually, we\u2019ll see if that ever comes back around. But at the end of the day, it\u2019s out of your control.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>DiCaprio&#8217;s attachment to &#8220;Captain Planet&#8221; is not surprising; he&#8217;s an outspoken environmentalist who has starred in several environmentalism-themed movies. But he&#8217;s also spoken out in support of abortion, most notably in 2022 after the fall of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/leonardodicaprio\/p\/CfNFlc8lUEv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">posted on social media<\/a> urging followers to take action to protect abortion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today\u2019s United States Supreme Court decision to overturn [<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>] takes away a woman\u2019s right to an abortion,&#8221; DiCaprio wrote. &#8220;Roughly 33 million women are set to lose access to the procedure in their home states.

These wealthy, western leaders are frequently throwing money at African nations in the hopes of keeping residents from having &#8220;too many&#8221; children.<\/p>\n<p>Prince William, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/prince-william-africa-human-overpopulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complained<\/a> in 2021 about the human population in Africa being too large. \u201cThe increasing pressure on Africa\u2019s wildlife and wild spaces as a result of human population presents a huge challenge for conservationists, as it does the world over,\u201d he claimed, adding, \u201cAfrica\u2019s extraordinarily rich biodiversity has the ability to sequester vast amounts of carbon. But this is only possible if these landscapes remain truly intact and are protected as functioning ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melinda French Gates, the ex-wife of billionaire Bill Gates, has devoted <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/melinda-gates-pushes-family-planning-developing-countries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hundreds of millions of dollars<\/a> promoting abortion and contraception in Latin America, Africa, and Asia \u2014 seemingly much less concerned about preventing births in Europe, Canada, and the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UnzbQzvGlSU?si=42HMGyYU-dUBNjnx\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>European politicians have likewise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-40588246\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">openly said<\/a> that the &#8220;too-high&#8221; birth rate in Africa threatens Europe. \u201cIf the population growth in Africa continues as now, the African population will double from 1.2 billion people to 2.5 billion people by 2050,\u201d said Danish politician Ulla Tornaes, arguing that reducing Africa\u2019s population growth is a foreign policy and security priority for the Danish government. \u201cPart of the solution to reducing migratory pressures on Europe is to reduce the very high population growth in many African countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the COVID-19 pandemic, European nations promised to send medical aid to African nations, yet instead of sending ventilators and PPE, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) sent $2 million worth of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/africa-ventilators-covid-19-abortion-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion kits<\/a><\/em>. Other nations, like Canada, used millions of dollars worth of COVID-19 funding to <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/documentary-exposes-abortion-industry-covid-19-africa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promote abortion<\/a> in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>All of this pro-abortion advocacy is done in the name of preventing overpopulation, and stopping countries with &#8220;too many&#8221; children \u2014 as warned about in &#8220;Captain Planet!&#8221; \u2014 from continuing to have high fertility rates.<\/p>\n<p>If &#8220;Captain Planet&#8221; is, indeed, resurrected by Hollywood, it seems certain that the ideas of overpopulation and abortion will be included. Pro-life parents might have warm memories of the eco-friendly superhero, but should be on guard before allowing their children to be indoctrinated the way children were in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/Vety0KE\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-325597\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-500x179.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1.png 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Part 1 of our series about &#8220;Captain Planet,&#8221; we discussed how the popular children&#8217;s cartoon was created not only to teach viewers about the importance of protecting the earth, but to promote a much more sinister agenda.
