Trump aides have raised concerns that Prince Charles, the crown prince who thinks Mad King George was “misunderstood”, will use an upcoming state visit to try to humiliate President Trump in front of international media.
Trump’s team fears climate change differences with Prince Charles could flare up in state visit
Ben Riley-Smith, assistant political editor
28 JANUARY 2017 • 10:00PM
Donald Trump’s aides have raised concerns that a likely meeting with Prince Charles during his state visit could backfire because of the pair’s differences on climate change.
The US President’s team is understood to have worries that the American press could jump on any difference in comments on the environment.
There are also concerns that copycat protests based on those in Washington DC on the day of his inauguration could be seen when he comes to Britain later this year.
Mrs May presented an invitation from the Queen for a state visit during her trip to the White House, which Mr Trump accepted – though dates are yet to be announced.
…
Prince Charles this week called for action on climate change to avoid “potentially devastating consequences” while Mr Trump is a known sceptic.
Sources close Mr Trump and UK Government figures told this newspaper there were concerns that any joint appearance could see the pair questioned about climate change.
…
Prince Charles bizarre climate antics include taking a five day $80,000 trip on the Royal Train around Britain, to lecture people about climate change – right in the middle of a government austerity programme, which included extensive public sector job losses.
In February 2010, Prince Charles called into the working class city of Manchester to tell everyone that climate skeptics are liars – after arriving on a coal powered replica of a 1948 steam locomotive.
Prince Charles is a strong supporter of organic farming – according to Wikipedia his 900 acre organic royal farm uses lunar crop planting cycles and the application of homeopathic potions to plant leaves, to improve yields.
Prince Charles recently wrote a Ladybird book on Climate Change – the book is aimed at adults, but apparently uses a children’s book format to present its content.
But who knows, perhaps Trump’s aides are wrong, Prince Charles has other priorities. The royal fascination with the Mad King seems to run very deep.
Back in 2005, the Palace issued a denial that Charles planned to change his name to George when he ascends to the British throne.
Perhaps Prince Charles’ real intention, when he meets President Trump, is to discuss an unfortunate misunderstanding with the colonies which occurred during the Mad King’s reign, on July 4th, 1776.
Oh god no – Chas is mad as a balloon!
“…. will use an upcoming state visit to try to humiliate President Trump in front of international media.”
go for it !
Trump will run rings around this aristocratic wingnut if he tries to get clever. I can’t wait.
Trump should remind this prince-consort of his (consort’s) wish to reincarnate as “a particularly deadly virus”.
The press is afraid Charles won’t try and the press will have nothing allowing for wailing and gnashing of teeth.
It was Prince Phillip, Charles’ father who wants to come back as a deadly virus. Perhaps he already got his wish, in the form of Charles.
LG,
Also, if phone intercept was accurate, a tampon.
The classic case of a guy wanting to be in the right place at the wrong time.
Cocky royal weathervane versus formerly imperial, now empirical, weather balloon. No doubt Mr. Trump will rise to the occasion from all the hot air.
What? Me Worry?

axolotl? :s
I wandered lonely as a clod,
Just picking up old rags and bottles,
When onward on my way I plod,
I saw a host of axolotls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man’s blood freeze.
Some had handles, some were plain;
They came in blue, red pink, and green.
A few were orange in the main;
The damnedest sight I’ve ever seen.
The females gave a sprightly glance;
The male ones all wore knee-length pants.
Now oft, when on the couch I lie,
The doctor asks me what I see.
They flash upon my inward eye
And make me laugh in fiendish glee.
I find my solace then in bottles,
And I forget them axolotls.
No my name is not Neuman but I knew him well;)
I wonder if Charles ever read anything so enlightening?

madder than a carton of Frenchmen.
Is that a PC way of saying
Madder than a box of frogs?
Two mouthy gits in one room? Popcorn please.
Daft as a badger.
“his 900 acre organic royal farm uses lunar crop planting cycles and the application of homeopathic potions to plant leaves”
Oh and even so *we* are the science deniers? Fascinating.
Scratch any True Believer in climatic Armageddon, and get a wide array of beliefs in superstition: chiropractic, homeopathic, any number of New Age nonsense, Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, anti-vaxxers, 9/11 Trufers, etc.
Science only counts when it proves what they like.
It is obviously a tool of rapacious misogynistic non-binary racist capitalism when it proves something they don’t.
BTW, unless the Sweet Asteroid of Death comes soon, this perennial candidate for Upper Class Twit of the Year will become King of Canada.
At least you ‘muricans get to elect YOUR clowns.
You can have Charles. I’ll have Trump.
The Americans are coming! The Americans are coming!!!
The revered Charles III. Don’t panic, Charlie, call Dad’s Army. “Who do you think …”
Much more likely to be George VII.
His given names are Charles Philip Arthur George, and the first two Charleses, respectively, were executed; and died without legitimate off-spring.
Auto
Charles I was executed, but had offspring, to include Charles II, who wasn’t executed, and James II.
Charles II had lots of offspring, but none legitimate. You can’t swing a cat in England without hitting one of the Merry (but traitorous) Monarch’s spawn, to include Mrs. David Cameron.
Traitor Charles II should have been executed, and would have been, had his secret treaty with Louis XIV and dealings with the Sun King via his sister, been known.
Also among Charles II’s innumerable descendants was Diana, late Princess of Wales, doubly descended from the Merry Monarch via two of his illegitimate sons; Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Grafton, and Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond. Thus her son, Prince William, royal Duke of Cambridge and famous as Kate Middleton’s husband, will become the first descendant of Charles II to occupy the British throne, if he succeeds as expected.
Diana’s ineffectual father was also descended from James II (“the Sheit”, as the loser is known in Ireland), so William will practically constitute a restoration of the Stuart dynasty. God help Britain!
Just *love* the historical scuttle-butt!
However, is it relevant to this scientifically-oriented Blog to any significant Objective standard?
Indirectly, I’d answer ‘Yes’ to the extent that lemming-limited brains are prone to “Halo-Effect” (Papal??) pronouncements.
The BIG problem is educating the otherwise gormless voters.
This is a fatuous post politically speculative with little substance. Such posts demean a site that has often risen to a high level of debate around the science and politics of climate change.
[?? .mod]
Bern, it would appear that you think speculative is a noun.
Speculative is an adjective , that means it needs to be followed by a noun. If you want to sound clever at least learn basic grammar.
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/speculative
Sir, you are picky little pedant. Many on this (excellent) blog were not brought-up by Nannies to speak Oxford english (nor, for that matter, Queen’s English, received English or BBC English, let alone the best enunciated English thanks to the E. coast Scots).
I digress … the “Home Language” of this Blog is English. It behoves us, as natural-born English-speakers, to behave as polite hosts to those trying their best to communicate in English as a second-language, and refrain from comments such as yours … partic’ly of the ‘smart-arse’ nature.
I understood full-well what Bern was trying to say, without help (spelt “Hindrance”) from you. Might I suggest you adopt French nationality and subscribe to the pedantry of the Academie Francaise … you might find a more welcoming audience to your pontifications than here.
Nonsense. All that was needed is a comma after “post”.
Post is the noun you were unable to find.
Seems you are the one who needs to learn some grammar.
Not addressing Berniel’s point; but nothing wrong with his grammar.
G
I dunno about you Mr. King, but where I wuz brought up, we speak Brooklyn.
We fired UpChuck’s Grandaddy much removed and putrefied a long time ago.
Sorry, but I gottagetroudahere.
Overall, English is a language with many fathers, none of whom wish to acknowledge it. It
has been straight downhill since Beowulf.
Love yr reply!
Only pompous Brits worry about which version of the language is ‘de-rigeur’. I just wanted to take a stand about pedantry and partic’ly the twit who first needled Bern
I enjoy ‘Brooklyn-speak’ and ‘Bahst’n-speak’ when I visit.
Good luck, Sir!
Berniel’s comment is based on a mistaken assumption about what WUWT is all about. It deserves censure for it’s fatuous content and rude tone.
However…. in defense of all English-as-second-language people (there are many, here, who have truly worthwhile, intelligently informed, things to say):
Greg’s comment is slightly mistaken. (<— Please note: no noun follows "mistaken")
The only grammar mistake in that sentence was leaving out two commas (one after "post" and one after "speculative").
YES I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE — I MADE A TYPO. As if.
I think it’s OK to point out stylistic errors in head posts, because they can be corrected and their authors are presumably desirous of getting their stuff correct. (It might be re-posted or published later.) But it’s too picky to correct comments, or anyway to correct them in any belaboring way. IMO.
+1
It’s not we can FIX any mistakes we make after posting a comment.
actually Bern’s perfectly correct and uses a perfectly good adverb to modify a perfectly good adjective.
” We hold these truths to be self – evident “
‘speculative’ modifies ‘post’ in an adjectival manner.
============
Ah, well, g. smith and AJE beat me to it.
==========
The noun is implied. It is the post in question.
You are familiar with Prince Charles aren’t you?
Well said Berniel. I try posting something negative about the Trumpist Messiah and see how that goes down.
That is because, Mr. Phillips, in insulting the voters’ choice, you are insulting those who love America (for that is who voted for Mr. Trump — it is America-haters who are upset he won).
Gareth Phillips January 31, 2017 at 2:47 pm
” Trumpist Messiah”
Many of us are not fond of him, but we are very enthusiastic over what he is doing.
As they say in industry you don’t have to like the guy just work with him.:-)
michael
So let me see if I have got this right, Gareth. You don’t approve of posts insulting world leaders, and to make your point you insult the President of the US. Just brilliant. I don’t think you understand how much people hate that type of hypocritical crap.
“the Trumpist Messiah”
That’s God-Emperor Trump to you, mister.
Say something intelligent, and you will be treated as someone intelligent.
Post your usual pablum and you will be treated like the lack-wit that you are.
Actually, Berniel, I think I can see where you are coming from. It is a speculative stirring of the pot. It’s rather uncalled-for in my opinion. I sincerely hope that President Trump is properly welcomed and that the Bonnie Prince minds his manners as a host.
Eschew obfuscation.
Say that three times real fast! 🙂
Gesundheit.
high level of debate … , yeah, but, at some point, it gets so ridiculous that maintaining that high level is like trying to take a comedian seriously.
Embracing the ridiculousness of it, then, somewhat boosts dignity by calling a joker a joker and not even worth taking seriously.
The President needs to simply stay calm, polite and listen.
Then state that there are some serious concerns regarding the integrity of data collection and adjustment. Along with failure of climate models to accurately predict the results of the past 20 years. And that as president he would be remiss not to have these issues examined thoroughly before committing to any actions for the year 2100 when 20 years of real world data has shown the models to be oversensitive.
Myron….. you nailed it!
Not just oversensitive. Out and out wrong.
Hivemind
I think Myron had the new POTUS in diplomatic mode.
You and I agree “Out and out wrong”, but the Heir apparent – to whom Myron’s piece was ‘addressed’ (I think)- seems not to agree.
Auto
Impossible. Trump could never listen politely to any opinion which does not comply with his own view 100%.
We rather hope he does not show up, we would be seriously concerned for the wellbeing of our Monarch. If he cannot keep his little hands off our Prime Minister, Lord knows what he will attempt with our Queen.
Note, 1.8 million people have signed a petition to keep him at arms length.
Heed the will of the people Trurmpster. Stay on your side of the pond where your pals think you are a valid political leader.
Wow, the English have really gone downhill. Mass paranoia, delusions,……Hey, maybe we can send you a bunch of Hillary supporters that are sooooo traumatized. You could console them. Meanwhile, while England is overrun by immigrants and blacked out by saving the planet, we Americans can get on with making America great again after eight years of decline. Maybe even an exchange—our warmists and Hillary supporters for England’s Brexit supporters and global warming doubters. Then we could all live happily ever after.
“Impossible. Trump could never listen politely to any opinion which does not comply with his own view 100%.”
Sounds extreme, Gareth . . better go with 97% ; )
Wow! Gareth Phillips goes full “Foaming At The Mouth And Taking Bites Out Of The Carpet” mode.
I totally disagree with you GP. As an Englishwoman I welcome Trump and I trust that Bonnie Prince Charlie will remember his manners as a host.
How many of those signatures on the petition were multi repeats?
Then why did he spend an hour talking to Dick Haass, head of the CFR?
Have you met him?
Don’t fret Gareth. I’m sure the POTUS will supply a safe space for Charles , complete with hot chocolate, play dough and a few plants to talk to. Long live the Queen. Cdn
“Impossible. GARETH could never listen AT ALL to any FACT which does not comply with his own view 100%.
“Wow, the English have really gone downhill.”
Good to see you have not included Scotland, Wales or Ireland, or is this the usual idiocy that does not understand that the UK and England are not interchangeable terms? If you cannot get basic geography right, how can you expect your comments to be taken seriously?
Interesting to see that posters on this site attacked Obama for eight year solid with mainly disinformation and needless attacks which were, to be honest extremely viscous at times. Now our Royal family has been attacked in the same way.
But one posting against Trump has posters foaming at the mouth. Apparently they love to attack people they hate, but cannot take any criticism of their hero in return. Sums up the hypocrisy of the US hard right in a way I could never express. So don’t whine, you have another 3 years 11 months of this, unless of course Trump is impeached before then which given his dodgy background is highly likely.
“we Americans can get on with making America great again”
I’m sad that you don’t think the US is great now, I have always thought is was a fine country. It’s rather sad to see you have such a low opinion of your mother nation.
Gareth Phillips
It was the attitude of your forefathers like you that MADE AMERICA.
Thanks GP, for syrupy slagging. When the dog licks my face is that a viscous bite?
=========
Only 1.8 million out of tens of millions of adults? It appears that Trump is more popular in Britain than the US. Pro-Brexit voters must love him.
In England outside London, about 56% voted the Leave the EU. That’s a landslide. Even Wales voted Out. How does it feel to be in such a minority, Gareth? Unless you exist in London, Scotland, NI or Gibraltar.
“Wow, the English have really gone downhill. ”
That’s what happens when the best and brightest have been fleeing a country for fifty years. They don’t call it the ‘brain drain’ for nothing.
It really is sad the way leftists actually believe that everyone else is as crude as they are.
As usual for a leftist, facts don’t matter.
All that matters is whether you support or attack the politicians he likes.
“Interesting to see that posters on this site attacked Obama for eight year solid with mainly disinformation and needless attacks which were, to be honest extremely viscous at times. Now our Royal family has been attacked in the same way.”
An attack on Prince Charles is not an attack on the Royal Family, it is an attack on a political position Prince Charles takes.
President Obama deserved most of the criticism sent his way, imo.
Ah, Gareth. Did you not notice the many polite conversations he has had with folks of opposing viewpoints? Trump has shown that he wants to hear all opinions and continues to invite people who disagree with him to meet.
I think you would benefit by following his example.
“Leader of the Free World”, Gareth, please. How do you like him now? It must gall, but them’s the breaks, mate.
Donald: “May I address you as Teresa?”
Teresa: “Yes, you may, thank you for asking. And how may I address you?”
Donald: “Mister President”.
I think Trump should let Pruitt handle the visit!
Any questions about climate change directed to Trump should meet with exactly the same rote response Scott Pruitt crafted so carefully for the Senate committee Democrats. Trump can memorize one single sentence (I hope), and (hint) it shouldn’t contain the words “hoax” or “Chinese”. Pruitt chanted the perfect dogged “non-denial denial” and the committee was unable to provoke him into a sound bite for CNN.
But, alas, Trump won’t be able to refrain himself. He’ll say something spectacularly provocative and make headlines again. We’ll all get a chuckle out of the “meltdown” in the media and among the planet savers.
Myron, good comment. I think we should show Prince Charles respect and welcome him as a visitor to our country. Good manners never hurt. And, I think President Trump should meet Prince Charles in private and thank him for all the science and philosophy we got from the UK, etc. and try his best to be a good host. Then leave the public business to a tour of the sights in Washington, or other things the Prince might like to do. And then give him a royal sendoff as a prince should be treated. In other words respect the Royalty in the UK as they are due and hope similar hospitality will be returned when the Presidents visits the UK. Too often we judge the person and forget the great nation he represents.
The substantive and difficult topics should be limited to the Prime Minister, not royalty.
None of you need to worry about Charles – Mummy won’t let him near.
Let’s hope she is in good enough health to greet her fellow half-Scot.
+1776
I would have thought that their respective handlers would contrive to avoid a spat, public or othrwise.
Having said, I’d just *love* to have them go-at-it.
I invite readers to prime President Trump with some apposite one-liners for Bat-Ears.
I’ll re-visit here when I’ve thought of some…..
No need to think of any; try these.
Like it! Bat-Ears might have the knowledge of Shakespeare to roll-out some of these .. and I can just imaging a Monty Pythonesque skit of him thus addressing the President!
As to the President having the literary skills to plumb these put-downs is a matter for (little??) conjecture.
He might want to enquire about what terrible hardship, disability or other circumstance led to Charles being one the largest beneficiaries of state welfare during his entire life. Does he feel any sympathy or sense of community for the other beneficiaries – even if they have needed so much less than him, for much shorter periods of their lives? And does he feels angry or depressed about not ever having held a job or been able to earn any money through his own efforts? Has he ever been tempted to prove himself capable of the basic human challenge of providing for himself and his family through his own efforts? His life is a punishment in a way – we should feelk sorry for him. I guess the same could be asked of Trump, inherited wealth of the Fred Trump dynasty. When you look at the Clintons, Bushes and the Kennedys – really there is little or no difference between a state toff and a private toff.
It is not the “bat-ears,” it is what is not between those ears.
(HAD to pipe up, here, for someone very dear to me has the same adorable ears)
Oops, I beg your pardon, Mr. King (just now read your nothing between the ears comment — didn’t meant to plagiarize you).
Hark my Liege, the wind doeth soundly blow without obstruction from east to west between thine open cranium cavity. If I may be so bold, methinks you should face more toward the north in order to temper the whistle.
Old Man — that was great! lol
Charles has his own solar panel ears that power him
Only trouble is that there’s nothing much in-between his solar panel ears to store the solar-power.
Neither is there much radiant energy 😉
Mad Charles.
Don’t be unkind. Just somewhat out of touch. More to be pitied than scorned. :0
They are all stark raving mad if you ask me.
Here’s Charles great grandpapa Mad King George V performing a days conservation work in India…

So what? Trump’s grandfather ran a brother. Is that relevant to his Presidency? Of course not. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-trump-family-fortune/
Brothel, not brother.
“It’s good to be da King!”
The Brits have been suffering a bad run on the Princes of Wales.
David who became Edward VIII could not keep away from the Nazis. Was too friendly with them as king and then back with them as the Duke of Windsor.
The government sent him to the Bahamas to get him out of sight.
Now, Charles has succumbed to today’s versions of authoritarian government. Climate and environmentalism.
Two authoritarians in a row.
Not good.
Chuck is still living in the middle ages when royalty meant something other than a second rate reality show.
When he starts paying income tax like all the rest of the citizens of the UK, he can have a vote , one vote, like all the rest. Never mind his backdoor lobbying with his “spider” memos.
To paraphrase the title of the Will Smith TV series – Mr Windsor is the Crass Prince of Hot Air.
He does pay tax.
Prince Charles is far far far worse than you portray him. He isn’t the brightest star in the firmament or the sharpest knife in the box. He thinks he’s the President Elect of Great Britain. He also thinks he has the right to involve himself in the day-to-day governing of the UK. Golly, we executed (in 1649) his kingly namesake for that precise reason. If he doesn’t listen & calm down he will be forced to abdicate shortly after he eventually accedes to the throne & he will put the very institution of the monarchy at great risk. If Trump loses his rag with him on his State visit then he (Trump) has my full support. In fact I insist he (Trump) does give him (Charles) a dose of reality. And damn the consequences.
How can you give a ‘fruit cake’ a dose of reality. just wrap it back up and put it in the closet until it’s past due date and then toss it.
Ironically, Charles opposing a democratically elected Republican actually aids republicanism.
Myron Mesecke: He might also politely add that the models used to predict the climate some 75 year out seem to have a little difficulty hindcasting as well, as shown by his countryman Mike Jonas, an MSc Oxford Mathematics graduate. Of course that was to be expected, given that the IPCC itself declared that the climate was a coupled, non-linear chaotic system that was not amenable to modelling.
Btw, according to Pew Research: Americans Don’t Believe The ‘97% Consensus of Climate Scientists’ Claim: http://www.climatedepot.com/2016/12/08/pew-research-americans-dont-believe-the-97-consensus-of-climate-scientists-claim/
Mad Charles and the Brits maybe. Americans, no.
Just 27% believe it.
97% is obviously a bogus number inflated through trickery.
Most important, any “consensus” is a consensus of ideology, not of science.
It’s a consensus of scientists who are liberal. Poll conservative scientists and the numbers would be reversed. The consensus is bogus. It’s a political consensus.
And what a joke this “March of (leftist) Scientists” is going to be, showing them and their nutcase followers for the fruitcake ideologues that they are. Remember, scientists are like *totally* apolitical, so we should always just do whatever they want us to do:
“The consensus is bogus. It’s a political consensus.”
Science is NOT a show of hands, it is a show of evidence. A consensus is not science , it is politics.
Yes, Greg!
And re: “97%” — Here are 97 articles (from poptech) refuting that bogus claim:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/12/19/97-articles-refuting-the-97-consensus-on-global-warming/
And there are more.
“Here are 97 articles (from poptech) refuting that bogus claim:”
So what? Articles equate to peer reviewed science? So any person with a blog site or any freelance writer has the same credibility as an atmosphere scientist who has 20 years of experience?
Notice what Chris does here.
He doesn’t review the evidence, just declares that since the articles have not received the blessing of the anointed, they are to be ignored.
I wouldn’t say that the majority of us Brits adhere to Charlie’s ideas.
Although his mother has earnt more respect.
Elizabeth has earned much respect on this side of the pond also.
One of them forgot to shave.
That would be Hymie.
Particularly noteworthy in that photo is the woman scientist in the background with the pink vagina cap and the beard.
Ackkk! That which has been seen cannot be unseen.
This brings me back to my grad school days. I contemplate how such a display of tomfoolery would have been viewed by the inhabitants of the Chem. Dept. We were a decidedly hard-core lot, back in the day.
Transgender! Keep up withe genders please! Tomorrow he’ll be standing behind a sign ” Gays for science”
Well, it’s not like they were all really Scientists, either.
Welcome to America! Where you can be anything you want to be, regardless of qualifications. Just declare what you think you are, and everyone else is required to agree. ~¿~
Leave xim alone. Today xe’s identifying as a woman.
Really? we’re still doing that old misogynist stuff in the 21st century?
for shame sir.
you’d make that remark to Judith Curry? or Jo Nova?
If they did something that stupid, sure.
As a woman of science, marching with these dim bulbs is not what I want to do. Women are running on emotion—the complete antithesis of science. We had “feminine snowplowing”, “feminine glaciology”. It’s insanity. Why in the world men allowed this to go on fails me. Men seem cowardly and women emote. Therein lies the problem. Someone has to have courage and a brain for science to exist. We seem lacking in those characteristics—or at least in shutting down the insanity that now passes for science. (That these women have PhD’s makes me nauseous. How horribly demeaning to the PhD’s who actually earned them doing real research and real science. How do I know she didn’t earn her PhD? She’s wearing a “kitty” hat.)
I wonder what ‘science’ they are women of. Political science? Social science?
Where’s the scientist Anna from Greece who used to comment here often?
This one, as far as I could tell, is a Doctor of Science Communication. I couldn’t be sure . . her self cred blerb was not real clear . .
Sarah E. Myhre Ph.D. Home; CV; Research. Postdoctoral Research; Doctoral Research; IGERT Research; Communication, Press, Outreach. Science Communication; Press;
I saw something about her being a climate scientist . . but got bored
Nassim Taleb ( twitter = https://twitter.com/nntaleb ) has correctly labeled these dunderheads; IYI, intellectual yet idiots.
“Women are running on emotion”. Indeed, Sheri.
Remember when in 2005 Harvard President Larry Summers caused an uproar from feminists and the media when he said that the under-representation of female scientists at elite universities may stem in part from “innate” differences between men and women? A feminist interviewed by NPR said when she heard him say that she literally swooned. QED and case closed.
OMG!!!, Those people are teaching the next generation? What does a Uterus have to do with science? All these groups just reek of left wing politics. Any real scientist knows there is no missing link in the cycle of life, and that life is a continuum, and only stops when ended. Also, that looks like a bad prom picture, and no one over 16 should feel comfortable appearing in public like that. These liberals simply live on another planet.
“What does a Uterus have to do with science? ”
Quite a lot, You came out of one…..ask me how I know.
““What does a Uterus have to do with science? ”
Quite a lot, You came out of one…..ask me how I know.”
For a group of Women Scientists to use a uterus on a poster instead of a brain says a whole lot. The left just simply doesn’t get it. Keep politics out of science. Imagine of a group of men scientists used a similar tactic. Those women scientists would be filing harassment lawsuits.
But what comes out without an man’s intervention is simply ghastly!
You’d think after Judd’s abominable comments they’d connect the dots, but not so.
Only one lab coat that I can see. !!!
And I think I can count 21, maybe 22 women.
Not sure if that is John Kerry or Prince Charles….
Either way, the question is“Why the long face?”
Back in 1776, we stopped listening to the English royalty. Prince Charles is a prime example of why that was a sound decision, still valid today.
Quite right Trump should not risk it and stay well away from out shores. It would help enormously in extracting the Queen form a dreadful promise made without her consultation.
why does our commander in chief allow someone to make promises which she cannot keep?
Gareth, the Deplorables are coming. Get used to it.
Apparently the Clown Prince has not yet realized that the red Trump ‘Make America Great Britain Again’ baseball caps are satirical. Then again, most of what he does is perhaps best understood in that light.
Well, Charles should tread warily – with Theresa May in charge in Britain he might strike trouble with the House of Commons. Didn’t they chop off some royal head a few hundred years ago for meddling in politics?
Gentleman in Waiting: I’m sorry, lad, but you can’t go in there. President Trump is visiting with great-grandmother.
Charles, HRH: Brian. It is I. CHARLES. I. Am. Here. To. Hu-MILIATE that climate den!er. Please step aside.
GIW (peering closer): Oh. I beg your pardon, your highness. It’s just that (cough), well, you’re not dressed as you…. and, well. It must be the glasses.
C (over shoulder as he enters room): They’re not real. Just to look like scientist, you know. {{slam!}}

Janice …. that’s not Pretty-Boy Trudeau, is it?
If it is, nice change from posing in front of his full-length mirror, and obsessively taking ‘selfies’.
I have no idea who the two males in the photo are, lol.
Looks like Vernon Kay, Janice, husband to Tess Daly from UK’s Strictly Come Dancing.

Long Live the Queen
Yes , long live the queen, because her riegn has been magnificent I’m sorry to say that her offspring have been less so
Bingo, I think Charles’ mum is doing her best to out-live the twit.
God save the queen. The prince is on his own.
A better question is “How do clowns get state visits?”
If you refer to HM The Queen as the official Invitee, methinks she is far from being a ‘clown’, which is more than can be said for some of her offspring. (This is all to do with sucking-up apologetically to President Trump after the ‘slagging’ he got (pre-election) from HM’s Govm’t and from the ever-sensationalist Brit media. Talk about ‘eating Crow big-time!’)
If, on the other hand, you refer to the Invited, that is Pres. Trump, I would say the answer is obvious: “By being a Clown and WINNING THE ELECTION”.
The mind boggles at the prospect of a Clowns’ Convention on Global Warming. (I’m dead-certain H.M. — a smart cookie — will stay well-clear!
Charles SACHSEN-COBURG-GOTHA, aka Windsor, one of the last vestiges of the German lineage.
Katherine Bowes-Lyon ?
Charles is a Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, not a Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, like his mom, whose grandad was granted the alias Windsor during WWI. Prince of Whines Chucks’ dad Phil wanted to change the dynastic name to Battenberg (his mom’s family, Anglicized to Mountbatten), but the Palace said ixnay on that, so Windsor it remains.
Charles’ grandparents are the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburgs and Battenbergs on his dad’s side and Saxe-Coburg-Gothas and Bowes-Lyons on his mom’s. Queen Mum Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon’s mom was Cecilia Cavendish-Bentinck, hence she was half Scottish and half English, pickled in gin.
One of my great uncles once said to by great grandmother (born in 1867 in Billings, Montana and immigrated to Canada):
“Grandma, you never listen to me.”
She said:
“Nelson, I listen to you. I hear what you say, I consider it – and then I do as I dam well please!”
I suspect Trump has a bit of that old western feistiness in him.
Grandmas should NOT be messed with.
Here’s one saving the day from green-goo-filled-headed America-haters
(youtube — “Mars Attacks”)
And a young man. There are LOTS of dedicated-to-truth young people out there. There IS hope for America!
Truth wins. In the end. Every time.**
(Note: That ev1l will, once again, raise its greedy, tyrannical, head does not negate that fact, for it rises only to be defeated in the end; and, one day, The End will come and Truth will win. Forever and ever. 🙂 )
Ms. Moore:
I have a coupla responses from you to my inputs, but am buggahed if I can open them any-which-way.
I have always enjoyed yr ‘spunky’ and apposite contributions … methinks our thinking is parallel if not pretty consonant.
And so — out of respect — it bothers me if *you* find fault in what I say, but how to connect? Is there a way via the WUWT Pooh-Bahs to facilitate email contact? Needless to say, I’ve been a Professional all my life, am 74, and straight-as-a-die. You have prob’ly gathered (as I have with you) that we both are committed to The Ultimate Truth, and not tendentious B_S.
With kind regards, ross
Mr. Ross (blush),
Thank you for so kindly responding to my “Hey! Hey!!!” comments. Here is the comment I was trying to link to: (Me above at 2:54pm today ) It is not the “bat-ears,” it is what is not between those ears.
(HAD to pipe up, here, for someone very dear to me has the same adorable ears)
I have no disagreement with your substance, just that particular pejorative. When you love someone very much, it’s easy to get your feelings hurt over such things. I hope you understand.
Re: connecting…. best not, I think. You sound lovely — for someone whose heart is available. Mine is not. You can’t see the gold band on the 4th finger of my left hand, but, it’s there. You may have just been kidding me, but, just in case, I thought it good to get that said. And no, I would prefer not to “just be friends” as pleasant as I’m sure that would be (I am honoring my heart and my promise — no male friends for me; he deserves to be honored in that way).
That said, you CAN connect with people if you ask a mod.. Just type out in full “moderato_” and ask for your e mail to be sent to whomever. How about Annie? She sounds very nice from what I’ve read in her comments over the years. 🙂
Well, I can tell you this, like it or not!, I’m adding you to my list of people for whom I’m praying this prayer: “Please make ___ into a truly loving couple with someone for whom he/she is perfect and who is perfect for him/her.” One person on that list found “her!!!” I’m taking that as a “Yes” (from God)! 🙂 She is out there, Ross…. don’t give up. She’s looking for you, too, you know.
With a smile and warm wishes for your Valentine’s Days to be much happier before too long,
Janice
Eh?
Mr. Ross,
You did not understand what I wrote? If you ask a more detailed question than, “Eh?”, lol, I might be able to make myself clear.

Ms. Moore:
In furtherance of our dialog, my first observation is of massive misunderstandings. I will dwell no more on the subject, except to say that I limit communications to the purely OBJECTIVE — in context of the Blog.
In that regard, I welcome a continuation of communication thro’ these open channels.
Thank you, Mr. Ross, for your explanation. I would not write one more word on this, but, I am so embarrassed at sharing such personal information based on what you now tell me was a gross misunderstanding of your meaning that I’m writing just this bit (when one is embarrassed one feels a strong need to justify oneself!). Your comment above to which I responded at length did, you must admit, end with what bore a strong resemblance to a “Personals” ad. “Straight male, professional, 74….”
Aaaaa. Gotta go do something else for awhile, like put a brown paper bag over my head. That was so embarrassing…
And yet… I’m glad I got to say what I did, too…
Ms. Moore:
‘Nuff said … let’s move on professionally & objectively..
On the other hand the state visit may well be postponed for a while…1.8 million Brits have signed this petition https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/171928 in the last couple of days, it states –
“Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.”
Old mother May was stupid to suggest it at this time, apparently the diplomats are now running around like headless chickens in a damage limitation exercise.
There will be huge protests over his lock-down & they would join with the CAGW mob (also quite large, but slowly diminishing) so a state visit now would not be good for anyone. let the dust settle for 12mths
But Trump & Dumbo slugging it out (I’d pay to see that).
*Love* yr analysis!
I’ll pay big-$ for a public denouement between Bat-Ears & Trump.
Having said, P.M. May has some serious ‘damage-control’ on her hands. I think she was right to extend the invitation … and let the paid-diplomatic-grunts sort-out the details. Good “Top-Down” thinking in this instance.
For those followers here who might be anxious that *we* are losing objective focus on Climate Science, I wd urge them to consider that Climate Science has become so politicized that one can’t compartment Science from Politics any more.
Sad the day …
Dear Mr. King,
You probably didn’t see this comment of mine (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/01/31/climate-clown-prince-charles-might-lecture-president-trump/comment-page-1/#comment-2413554 ). And you may just not care. In case you might, I wrote here (it hurts my heart to read that particular put-down — much as that HORRID ADULTERER deserves it).
Thanks for considering what I’ve written.
Sincerely,
Janice
Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom.
Donald Trump should be invited to make an official State Visit because he is the leader of a free world and U.K. is a country that supports free speech and does not believe that people that appose our point of view should be gagged.

This was setup a couple of days ago and has already 186,856 signatures (>100k should be debated)
a rate of ~62,000/day
The anti-Trump was setup 65 days ago and has 1,771,200 signatures
a rate of ~27,000/day
I haven’t looked at the JSON data (links are on each page) and I don’t have any graphing tools handy but maybe someone can plot a graph (there are some good graphers on here) so we can see what is going on.
From the interactive maps (links are on each page) it is clear that the anti-trump signatures are coming mainly from London, and university towns. All those right-on snowflakes that need safe spaces and trigger warnings.
It is clear that the pro-trump signatures are spread fairly evenly across the rest of the UK excluding London and university towns.
It is clear who is going to win this debate. My vote is on the adults and not the students and chatterati in their bubbles.

Look at all the red
We’re as mad as hell, and we’re not going to take this anymore!!!
The map corresponds to areas of higher population. The more people living there, the more votes.
Not sure what you are trying to say or what our pint is.
Each area on the map is a constituency of around 100,000 people.

On the anti-Trump map it is clear that the red dots (highest votes) are university towns and the rest of the UK is pale yellow. On the pro-Trump map the red areas (highest votes) are spread evenly.
Does he need an invitation?
He has already BEEN invited.
By the time he comes the students will be in the middle of exam season. Simple choice, pass or protest 🙂
