PRINCE CHARLES ON CLIMATE CHANGE: GLOBAL WARMING SCEPTICS ARE ALL LIARS
Charles, who has campaigned on global warming for more than 20 years, said: “I have watched with growing dismay and alarm the glee with which the sceptics have leapt upon the recent news stories that question the science that climate change is man-made and suggesting it is nothing more than a myth.

| Prince Charles: ‘I’m not willing to play Russian Roulette over climate change’ |
“Well, if it is but a myth, and the global scientific community is involved in some sort of conspiracy, why is it then that around the globe sea levels are more than six inches higher than they were 100 years ago?
“This isn’t an opinion – it is a fact.”
He added: “And, ladies and gentlemen please be in no doubt that the evidence of long-term and potentially irreversible changes to our world is utterly overwhelming.”
Charles spoke after arriving in Manchester by Royal Train pulled by a coal-fired steam locomotive, named the Tornado, which was rebuilt from a 1948 design.

First let me say that I like trains. But Charles apparently has no clue about how such a pronouncement might be viewed by commoners when he’s apparently doing nothing to curb his own carbon footprint. Will Jim Hansen denounce him for riding on a coal powered “death train”?
Charles also seems to think that sea level is a static feature of our dynamic Earth. Here’s a few reminders about sea level change the prince probably hasn’t discussed in polite conversations. He might also benefit from a visit to Israel, where sea level has been variable for the last 2500 years.
Here’s the last 9000 years which appear almost flat in the graph above due to scale used:
In our current era, while sea level has in fact been rising, continuing the trend started thousands of years ago, it recently appears to have slowed a bit:
Clearly we live in the golden age of relative stability, but Earth is very seldom that way. The rise of man just happened to get lucky…thanks to a warming world.
But who to believe, a coal powered prince or your own lying eyes?

I think Elizabeth is hoping the Male Windsor Genes kick in and she won’t have to worry
about jumping over to William…
The only thing he ever done right was get kissed by shielas on Bondi beach in bikinis freeing women to wear as little as they like on the beaches of Australia.
Maybe all that female global warming addled his head eggs.
Chuck and Cammy were in Chile last year when we were there. They flew around South America in their private jet blowing off steam about organic wines and global warming … as if he actually gives a s**t.
I watched this buffoon on TV recently…he was walking around acres of underused arable land (that produced no crops) and beaking off about organic this and that. The gardens produced nothing of use, had plants from all over the world at huge cost….blah blah blah. Undisturbed countryside makes more ecological sense. He is such a hypocrite …a spoiled, opinionated twit. Snip away. ☺
Methinks that “mummy” is none to pleased with the lad.

Excuse the Brits on here you guys, we have had to put up with this non elected, public financed, numpty for many years!
6″ rise? Yep, I am sure one of his plants told him that during one of their many, deep, scientific debates!
Mind you, his dad Phill the Greek is also well know for opening his mouth without thinking so maybe thats where he gets it from!
As I recall the British used to have a term for the result of “excessive inbreeding” among “Royalty”. I think it was ToWardsInsolantTyrany (or some variant of same.)
Didn’t some fellow named “Brave Heart” do something about the T.W.I.T’s some years ago?
Evidently some “got away”.
The British royals are not know for their intellectual prowess. They are better known for being randy as goats. Even their polo ponies refuse to allow them to pass astern. I suspect Charles’ random babbling about environmental Armageddon has a objective; that objective wears silk panties and weeps for the starving polar bears.
Here’s a substitute with the typos cleaned up:

I’ve never had an opportunity to say this about a ‘Royal’ in public before, may I then say: “He’s an idiot” on this subject?
Clinical definition only mind you …

Once again Charles proves why his Mum won’t give him the keys of the family business
By the by the BBC America TV just ran a piece on a AGW debate in Oz land, the sceptics won hands down and it appears that the public opinion has turned decidedly against the warmers and the politicals are taking notice.
Queen Elizabeth II owns 1/6 of the entire land surface on earth (nearly 3 times the size of the U.S.).

At least the Queen is smart enough to not let him on the throne. And Charles has done everything in his power to prove her right.
A lot of folks voted for Obama, that was before he decided to run over our Carbon Footprints with his Obummer Hummer.
btw… did you feel the 5.9 off N. Calif Coast today?
Fellow Aussies, if we are to remain a monarchy couldn’t we ask the Danes to let us have Fred and Maz as King and Queen of Australia?
Charles…. the king that never was.
Charles will never be king: get William in!
ummm ok, we are the liars, but then come clean that both your kids are not for you AHHAHAHAHHA

I remember Jeremy Clarkson made comment on Prince Charle’s new Prius on Top Gear a few years ago. Apparently Prince Charles parks it in his garage, next to his Aston Martin, Landrover Discovery, Bentley etc etc …
Ralph Wiggum – but with bigger ears
Choo choo choo…..
The Royals are irrelevant – they have no power or any say on anything. Poor old Charlie just likes to pontificate on anything he fancies. There is no point in trashing the royal family.The ‘old commonwealth’ countries will become republics and England is steadily loosing its sovereignty to the European unelected ‘mandarins’. It is already devolving authority to Scotland and Wales – so where does that leave the royal family? Gazing at navels? So forget Charlie boy.
A rare look at the new Royal Yacht.

This statement, and the visit he made the other day to UEA, is surely something that was urged upon him by his green advisors as a PR event. That’s its root. On his own Chuck would probably have the sense to “stop digging.”
We Britons love our eccentrics: they help keep us sane.
It’s always been a mystery to me why so much attention is paid to the opinions of the royals. Charles is just the thickest and most vocal of a seriously neuronally-challenged family, but the dullness of mind can be traced back through all the earlier generations. [George III (as in The Madness of King George), after all, is a direct ancestor of Charles (grandfather of Queen Victoria, and great-great-great-great grandfather of Charles), and things don’t seem to have improved much since his time.]
The only argument I’ve heard here in Britain for retaining the royals is that they generate more tourist income than they cost the UK taxpayer, but I don’t believe that. Surely if we binned the royal family and kept all their palaces and knick-knacks, we could make just as much by charging tourists to see them. The environment would benefit as well, since we’d use a lot less paper if we didn’t have to report on the latest verbal emissions from a family of dimwits.
Isn’t there anything good coming out of England these days?
