Harry is making a strong for Hypocrite of The Year Award!!
The Duke of Sussex has been labelled a “hypocrite” for choosing to take the two-hour flight back to his mansion in Montecito via the £45million Gulfstream jet. He boarded the 20-seater plane, which is believed to belong to one of his friends, U.S. businessman Marc Ganzi.
Royal author Tom Quinn said this move “appears to be enormously hypocritical” given the 36-year-old royal’s talk about climate change. He told The Sun that it is a “huge blind spot” for the duke who “seems to see himself as someone who guides the rest of the world and that his own behaviour isn’t relevant.”
The online community also bashed Prince Harry with one Twitter user calling him a “total hypocrite” and another claiming he relied on “privilege.”
“Yesterday Prince Harry took a private jet home from a polo match — after lecturing us all about how climate change is one of the world’s “most pressing issues. A total hypocrite. Elite environmentalism is about telling the little people to know their place,” the user wrote.
In May, Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that mental health and climate change are two of society’s “most pressing issues.” He acknowledged that people “are doing as best they can to try and fix these issues.” He also talked about its damaging effects to the generations to come.
“With kids growing up in today’s world, pretty depressing, right, depending on where you live, your home country is either on fire, it’s either underwater, houses or forests are being flattened,” he said in his interview in his Apple TV+ documentary.
Prince Harry has reportedly made four trips via private jet in 11 days despite his stance against the effect of CO2 emissions on the climate. A single jet alone can emit two tonnes of CO2 in an hour. His flight to Aspen was for a charity polo match for his co-founded Sentebale charity. Ironically, he also took a private jet to a climate change summit in Sicily. It is said that in 2019 alone he took six private jet flights.

He actually jetted from one state to another in the US, a 750 mile trip, in a “friends” US$45 million jet to play a game.
Prince Harry is poorly educated bloke, did his bit in Afghanistan OK, got fine with his military comrades, now he should shut-up, go and do his own thing whatever that happen to be.
Harry is a spoilt brat who, despite having a very privileged life, bitterly resents the fact that he will always be second fiddle to his older brother. Sooner or later, his VIP ‘friends’ will stop taking his calls and avoid him as the whining loser that he is grates on them as well. He and Me-gain deserve each other.
You forgot to mention a second fiddle to his wife as well.
He should have stayed in the service & married one of this comrade’s sisters. It would have kept him normal.
Harry was educated at Eton. A school with extremely exacting standards for pupils who are ready willing and able to take advantage of this privileged education. The fact that Harry seems uneducated speaks volumes for a genetic origin of smartness. Prince Chuck and Princess Di also had education at fine establishments without appearing to be hugely well educated and showing high academic attainment. Maybe its true that you just cant educate pork.
If Eaton even gives grades in the traditional sense … I expect Harry received straight A’s. Right?
“Royal Family would rather brush it under the carpet as it states that Harry simply, ‘went on to Eton College from September 1998 where he took his GCSEs and A Levels’ rather than specify what subjects he took as they do with William’s entry.”
Classic’ bookish’ learning was not his thing, he was good at sports and to be able to fly Apache helicopter it takes lot of learning.

RAH of course.
He is a Royal, Vuk. He is one of, that part of, the Faceless Cultural Elite with a recognizable face (by some). Like a Hollywood actor in America, most poorly educated, some did their bit in the military, e.g. Jimmy Stewart, Lee Marvin, and then there is Tom Hanks who did his bit saving private Ryan.
The actual WWll vets never felt the need to tell the rest of us how to live our lives. Maybe its because they fought for freedom against tyranny. Now Tom on the other hand, playing a soldier fighting for Private Ryan, believes his celebrity status gives him the moral authority to denigrate the rest of us for daring to want to live like him.
My point being, that IS Harry’s thing. To be Royal and tell the rest of us how to live our lives so there is more fossil fuel for the royals. Unless you are part of the Faceless Cultural Elite you need to tow the line.
He is half German.
That would be a luxury executive jet, one of the fleet of aircraft quarantined from carbon tax in the EU, commercial airlines not exempted.
Oh, but he might have bought offsets. If so, it’s alright, isn’t it!
But the Jet was full, ie Harry and the 19 member security team 😆
No. The only ‘most pressing’ problem is mental health. Climate change alarmism is one of the many mental health problems.
I’ve seen ten year olds in tears, firmly convinced that they’ll be dead in ten years. I try to explain the science to them and they won’t listen. They’ve been fully indoctrinated. It has to stop!
You and Ed are exactly right. Then, CRT teaches white kids are evil. Depression and suicide follow from the indoctrination and resulting mental health problems.
Both child abuse.
Which should be punished via ‘millstone’ and a large body of water
We’re having the same problem with a ten year old prime minister!
Oh, that’s funny. Glad I wasnt drinking.
The one adopting a ‘COVID’ basement profile after repeated public hecklings? Going full on Dementia-Joe
“Never go full retard!”

I’m always reprogramming my kids. And I have publicly called for people who have lost family members to suicide over “climate emergency” bs to hunt down those that have caused this
Fraud and hypocrisy are the fundamental bases of the cult belief in ‘Climate Change’ Ed Zuiderwijk is right to say that the chief problem these days is mental health as evidenced strongly in ‘Climate Change’ Alarmism which is the worst of our many mental health problems.
Closely followed by the “men can have babies” crowd.
Its the same with all of these cancerous “climate scam” people, they live life to the full, but scam us for our taxes.. The biggest enemy of the people is the News media…
Harry joins a long list of these elite climate change shills. The worst may be John Heinz Kerry, who is the Climate Czar for Biden. Shirley the voters can (eventually) figure this out? No? Yes! Wait for it.
Stop calling me ‘Shirley’ !!
Surely he means surely?
As it’s John ( won’t sign us military standard form 180 ) Kerry.
Maybe he means surly !
Don’t Call Me Shirley,

Czar: one having great power or authority
Who voted for Kerry to rule the world?
I am to the point where I wish the same fate for him as Nicholas II,
rah, I had to look it up, Lenin and the Bolsheviks ended the Romanov rule in Russia the traditional Russian way, in 1918. Yikes!
Go back to the original
Bad things always happen to Caesar, Kaiser, Czar
Here’s hoping
A little trivia. The Moss Nagant rifle is one of the most produced in history. It served as the Russians basic infantry rifle and sniper rifle starting in 1891 and was copied by many. It remained the primary arm of the Soviets during WW II. All the rifles produced in Russia up to the revolution in 1917 had sights graduated in “steps of the Czar”.
You mean the Mosin Nagant?
Russian form of Caesar
Never trust the Russians
😀
I wonder if the spanish ‘queso’ is from the same root, hence ‘the big cheese’.
I like to call M Macron Le Grand Fromage. MAINLY BECAUSE IT ANNOYS HIM
That’s ‘Special Climate Envoy’ Kerry to you !
*snicker*
They’re all hypocrites! Bono once had his hat flown to him, special flight, first class seat, of course.

The elites standard. “If ya got it, flaunt it’.
“Elite environmentalism is about telling the little people to know their place,”
Spot on. No comments.
I love the logarithmic hypocrisy meter. That will prevent hypocrisy going off the scale as we progress to a “zero carbon” economy.
Harry is no worse than Biden and Obama, who also lectured the serfs on climate change. Not Trump, of course, because he knew there was no Climate Emergency!
There was a little spark of Prince Chuckles’ father on the occasion of Harry’s birth. bless.
Seemingly at Chuckles first ever sight of his new baby son, he was heard to exclaim in a descending tone:
“Ohhhh God, it’s got red hair”
(An English joke/urban myth, as far as I know, but well noted that Red Heads at dating agencies/sites are widely & generally ignored)
The point was that the groom Diana later admitted to having an affaire with, had red hair…
She had an affair with Red Skelton?!? Nooooooooo……
Diana’s sister also had red hair.
. . . which, interestingly, may be further evidence that red hair does not run in the family blood.
Wasn’t Diana sanctified for various merits and qualities?
Sanctified by an overemotional section of the public, in almost exactly the same way as for Eva Peron – for the image she portrayed.
It’ll be interesting to see if her statue still stands after the BLM crowd find out about the Spencer family’s slave ownership prior to their abolitionist stance.
I don’t know, Richard, about being quite in Eva Peron’s lyrical class, but weren’t Princess Diana’s last words as reported by the ambulance attendant, “Don’t cry for me, Worcestershire!”?
Get this.
Just Get This..
Preamble: I still occasionally get emails from Estate Agents and out of curiosity open them.
This came in today, describing the corner of a field in South East England = where 80% of UK population choose to live because of its hideous climate)
Quote from the email:Currently used as a commercial site with a number of outbuildings and a derelict barn this site extends to approximately 1 acre.
Pre-application advice has been taken and the LPA have indicated a minimum of two executive dwellings may be possible.
There is a footpath from the site into Needham Market. As such it is considered that there are sufficient services and facilities available to meet the daily needs of future occupiers without the reliance on a private vehicle.
endquote
The agents are asking, without an actual guarantee that you will be allowed to build, £495,000 for that plot – possibly with 2 new executive houses on it
Check on a map and what they are talking about ‘footpath’ would be a 2 mile round-trip to the train station at Needham
Can any of us imagine the sort of folks taking a £250K punt on a derelict barn and aiming for an ‘executive’ house – can we imagine those folks walking anywhere
Who do the local council and their planners (LPA in the quote) think they are – Which <expletive> Planet are they on?
Exactly the point I was making in a previous episode about a scheme to insulate older public housing, unfortunately portrayed in the post as a boondoggle.
The age and style of much of Britain’s housing makes adding insulation awkward. A suggestion was made that they should tear down and start over, but you can see why this is impossible. Britain has old housing and they’re stuck with it.
The only path forward is to insulate and rehab the old stuff.
Like father, like son.
OT but thought I would mention that hurricane Ida looks like it will come ashore with higher wind speeds than Katrina did 16 years ago today. As of 05:00 CDT maximum sustained wind was 145 mph making it a powerful CAT IV. Katrina came ashore in the same area with 125 mph max sustained winds. Ida’s wind field not quite as vast as Katrina’s and core pressure not quite as low at this time.
Anyway one cuts it, this is going to be bad. So prepare for the climate change doomsayers to climb out of the wood work.

Good luck to anyone in its path. Especially as the authorities will not do anything to ensure it isnt ‘worse than we thought, because Climate Change’…
It will be interesting to see if the flood control systems and levies that are supposed to help protect “The Chocolate City”, ie: New Orleans, have been improved since that time. You may remember the the mayor of the Chocolate City back then, Ray Nagin, had diverted funds intended for updating the Levies and flood control systems to other purposes. Just wondering if a lesson was learned? I doubt it, but could be wrong.
I have faith that the Army Corp of Engineers did their part but I would not be surprised at all if since then the politicos have ignored the systems.
One thing I predict for certain. The Federal response will be found wanting again and some democrat or leftist mouth piece will blame anything bad that happens on Trump!
If Ida brings rain up here to my AO, fine by me. A little late, but better than the nothing-burger we’ve had most of the summer.
N.B.: This morning, cooler and air and a little rain checked in, not necessarily connected to Ida the Bold, but welcome by me.
If that system pushes (or pulls) wet weather for us, fine by me. We need it badly. Don’t know how it will affect the corn and soybean crops to the south and west of me, but any rain is welcome.
Not sure if his father is a climate hypocrite, but his mum’s ex-husband is for sure.
🙂
Took me a moment or two to get it as well. It’s funny but only if you believe in time travel.
Who?
No one believes in climate change except as a way of pushing political control
Nope, plenty of the “little people” useful idiots have been duped into it by the constant government and media blather about it. The crying 10 year old mentioned above wasn’t ‘pushing political control’.
Now if you mean 90% of the so called “elites” (sic) strongly pushing CC, then yes, they are mostly about political control, with a bit of virtue signaling thrown into the mix.
celebrities are so convinced their value to humanity exceeds….no wait a minute, they’re just trying to get free media exposure.…in the prince’s case to get juicy speaking engagements….their hypocrisy is worse than we thought.
Does this not also reflect badly on the education system in the UK including posh schools like Eton that Harry attended that they cannot intelligently look at the situation critically and see the gaping holes in climate alarmism – big enough to drive a red double decker London bus through! 🙁
Like father, like son – and brother…
The Duke of Cambridge revealed that he lies awake at night worrying that world leaders and politicians are failing to do enough to stop climate change.
He said: “I get outraged by the inaction.
“That’s probably a bit of a cliché but that is what I get most troubled about.”

Mad as a box of frogs, the lot of ’em.
He and Greta the Great definitely need to take a meeting.
I would like to believe that all fans of “Spinal Tap” agree:
all meters — such as the “Hypocrisy Meter”, as shown with this article — should have a scale that goes to 11.
All rich celebrities who fight to save our climate should immediately donate $10 million to carbon sequestration….feel better now?….doesn’t that make the guilt melt away?…..and auction off that private jet and use that money too.
Not auction off the jet, recycle it to its component minerals so that it can be used “sustainably” for future good things like bird choppers.
Yes, BUT…because he preached to the faithful to stop using fossil fuels, many of the little people DID stop using them, therefore, in that way Harry bought carbon credits, and used those credits to fly home, so as long as the little people stop flying then the elites can keep flying.
And it goes a little something like this…

His father flies all over the place in an RAF helicopter whilst lecturing we only have a few years to save the planet.
Er, that’s how dukes work.
In the Klimate Klucker’s Roolbook, bigshot Kluckers are given special dispensation, so, no harm no fowl.
Looking at the meter, what would negative hypocrisy look like?
