Prince Charles has described climate change as an existential threat, which requires a war like footing to address.
COP26 Reset: Prince Charles Calls for ‘Vast Military-Style Campaign’ to ‘Radically Transform’ Global Economy
KURT ZINDULKA 1 Nov 2021
Heir to the British throne Prince Charles called for a “vast military-style campaign” to combat climate change as he opened the COP26 summit in Glasgow on Monday.
Prince Charles, Duke of Edinburgh, called on the governments of the world to take a “war-like footing” to solve the supposed climate crisis.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how devastating a global cross-border threat can be, climate change and biodiversity loss are no different. In fact, they pose an even greater existential threat, to the extent that we have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing,” Charles said.

The following is Prince Charles talking up his “War Like Footing” (h/t Breitbart):
Am I making too much of what might just be a clumsy turn of phrase? Perhaps – but even The Guardian back in 2013 admitted Prince Charles’ climate kookery is a danger to democracy.
Prince Charles is a danger to democracy – even when I agree with him
I support Charles’s views on climate change, but still believe he should stay silent – as the Queen probably does
t is sometimes tempting, even for a republican like me, to applaud Prince Charles. Talking about climate change at a conference in London this week, he mocked “the Incorporated Society of Syndicated Sceptics and the International Association of Corporate Lobbyists”, and urged politicians “to face down a storm of opposition from all sides”. The risk was too great to wait for more scientific tests, he argued; like doctors treating a fever, politicians should “act on what is there”. Well said, sir!
But no matter how much you and I agree, the prince should have remained silent. True, global warming is accepted as a fact by every party in the Commons, and nearly all climate scientists think it no more controversial than the roundness of the planet. Charles, however, strays into areas of political dispute over what should be done. He is not even helping the green cause: he feeds the sceptics’ paranoid belief that “warmists” have infiltrated the establishment, rather as Kim Philby and Anthony Blunt (the spy who became surveyor of the Queen’s pictures) once did on behalf of Moscow.
Charles’s lack of judgment may explain why, though he will take over dutiessuch as attending Commonwealth heads of government conferences, the Queen will not agree to either abdication or a regency. Twenty years of Charles on the throne would probably destroy the monarchy. Its justification is to provide a head of state above politics, as a symbol and focus of national unity. The Queen’s views on almost everything are unknown. No doubt she sometimes expresses opinions to prime ministers, notably on the Commonwealth, of which she is head, and on widening social divisions, which could leave her without a national unity to symbolise. Crucially, however, a prime minister can be confident she will not repeat them publicly. Nor will she lobby or correspond with ministers.

Queen Elizabeth might be a little more discreet, but lately she has allegedly made it clear, in a semi-private way, that she is frustrated by the lack of climate action.
Queen ‘irritated’ by climate change inaction in COP26 build-up
By Alex Kleiderman
The Queen appeared to suggest she was irritated by leaders’ slow response to the climate crisis.
The Queen has appeared to suggest she is irritated by people who “talk” but “don’t do”, ahead of next month’s climate change summit.
Her reported remarks were overheard during the opening of the Welsh parliament on Thursday.
The monarch, who is due to attend the UN’s COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, said she did not know who was coming to the event.

Convincing large numbers of people there is a crisis is a well worn path to toppling democracies and republics. Frightened people have repeatedly demonstrated their willingness to trade freedom for security.
I’m not accusing Prince Charles of attempting to restore an absolute monarchy, of being an intentional villain – he doesn’t seem smart enough. But Prince Charles is fanning the flames of tyranny with his militaristic rhetoric and hard line climate fear and Covid fear propaganda. I would love to know who puts these ideas into his head.
In these times of widespread fear and poor political decision making, there is no doubt in my mind the ambitious and unscrupulous are weighing their chances, and taking every opportunity to encroach upon our freedoms.

You first, Charlie. I presume you will be going home on your bike?
Pedal-electric bicycle maybe?
His mother might say “on yer bike laddie”, back to your secret garden to consult the pixies.
Surely he arrived in his pet Astin Martin running on “surplus” wine and cheese.
Charles I was an autocrat and his view that he was appointed by god to govern (top down) as he chose put him in direct conflict with those that thought otherwise, particularly Oliver Cromwell. Charles 1 was defeated in battle and executed. What followed was a republic and the beginnings of parliamentary democracy. Following the death of Cromwell, Charles II was restored to the throne and the long road to the modern world began with the beginnings of free market capitalism, and perhaps key, the start of the scientific, agricultural and industrial revolution, which was all bottom up.
Prince Charles is unelected but thinks he is entitled to push not just the UK, but the world, back towards top down government and it is likely he will be Charles III.
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen, now in Glasgow that’s where we could be.
Charlie lost the plot many years ago… It gets worse with time… now completely deluded..
And then he flew in his personal helicopter back to Windsor to dine on the finest cuisine known to man and drink a bottle of wine worth more than the average monthly salary.
Somewhere behind the scenes..
Been a royalist all my life, but if Prince Charles goes woke then all that is done and finished.
Why did you insert the word “if”?
Chuck been woke LLOONNGG before woke was “cool”. Wokest of the woke since the 1980s. That is why Mummy has to totally support him financially. Oh, off the backs of the people because she has never done anything productive or profitable in her life, either. Only thing in her defense is she ain’t a woketard, yet.
Yes, I really want to like the royal family and had a blast visiting London, seeing the royal sights and all that, and I am pretty sure that having the monarchy is better, financially, for England from the tourist industry. But the more I learn about them the less I like them. Prince Andrew and Epstein, then Harry and Megan Markle and now this totalitarian jug eared dauphin! Good grief.
I agree entirely, we real human beings have to realize these leftards are at war against the Human Race and treat them accordingly.
Climate science isn’t ‘left wing’. Nor is it a conspiracy.
But you are a conspiracy theorist, who dosnt know left from right, & are nearly always wrong.
What do you mean ‘nearly’ – I don’t think I’ve known him to ever be completely correct.
He now opposes Drax, because WWF and Greenpeace now oppose Drax.
Not even vaguely “correct”, ever.
Funny how everyone who supports the climate science conspiracy, is a left wing to far left wing.
And you simply can not stop lying, you lie spewing lying leftarded c*nt. Good job, buddy.
Heck, it’s not even science.
There’s very little climate science around, worth the name of science. Look at yourself, you’re a Marxist and a liar to boot.
A war-like footing?
First round up the traitors and incarcerate them; the damage Mr Dim is willing to inflict on the UK and Commonwealth is legion, while he’ll allow China to remain untouched and with growing strength.
Charles is a science illiterate of the same genre as the uneducated Thunberg girl, they’ll regurgitate the words and unsubstantiated data of the subsidised zealots but never mention the data and papers which don’t support their AGW fantasy. It’s the best they can do, never can they debate, take questions or show understanding beyond that of Lenin’s willing idiots.
When the flying tomatoes and roaring boos meet Citizen Windsor it will be too late for him.
Exactly what papers don’t support the consensus?
All the ones that aren’t approved by the politically subservient “scientists”.
The so called consensus has never been more than a carefully crafted lie.
I ink it was about 99% of the papers that Cook collected. Obviously he removed about 98% of them so that he could come up with his bogus ‘consensus’. That’s Climate Scientology for yer!
Griff is incapable of even the smallest amount of homework. Where would you like the thousands published here, Griffy? You know, exactly.
A random choice: Journal of Geophysics – Oceans, August 2010, Abstract includes “there has been no acceleration of sea level rise in the last 100 years”.
Yes, yes, Griff, you would have no chance of understanding the statistics so give yourself an immediate out. Go and whine with the uneducated.
“Prince Charles Calls for Global “War Like Footing” to Address the Climate Crisis”
There just isn’t enough Pinot and Camembert to go round….
And in other news.
“Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby sparked outrage when he claimed that politicians who fail to act on climate change will allow an “infinitely greater” genocide than the Holocaust and be judged “in far stronger terms” than those who appeased N a z i Germany.
…
inevitably, the archbishop did feel the need to take to social media to apologise for these claims, tweeting that he “unequivocally apologise[d] for the words I used when trying to emphasise the gravity of the situation facing us at COP26.”
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/11/02/archbishop-welby-failure-to-act-on-climate-means-infinitely-greater-genocide-than-holocaust/
Welby, a former oil executive, bumped into Godwin on the road to Damascus
Almost the last person I would listen to.
MSM accused Harry of ratting on the royal family, but in hindsight, he jumping of the wobbly ship looks a right thing to do, maybe he is not that stupid after all.
No he really is. Even a moron can get something right by accident once in their life.
Poor Brits. Looking at who follows the Queen. They’re screwed.
The Monarch does what Parliament says. That’s how it works.
Parliament above monarch and people. Guess which way Parliament leans.
War? OK, first act of war, cut off his feet.
As an Englishman, let me be the first to say, why the hell did we do what the US did and throw these useless idiots out.
The US got the French to do the heavy lifting on that job, though.
“We have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing.”
… said Chuck to his room mate Joe when eating their bowls of hot soup in the care house …
The British Monarch receives a rake off of £100 million a year from leasing the uk seabed for offshore wind farms. Thats a hundred million reasons to shill for big green
Of which, most goes straight to the UK government. The Monarchy did a deal with the government a long while ago; in return for not having to pay for the whole of the UK government, they get the vast majority of the income from the Crown Estate every year.
Poor Britain. Once they complete Brexit, they’re going to need Chexit.
It’s almost as if they wanted independence from Europe solely to see if they could destroy their economy faster than the EU can destroy its own collective economies.
We have seen insanity in response to COVID. Our rights have been suspended and we’re treated like cattle to herded into chutes and forcibly treated with an experimental mRNA regardless of the costs or needs of the individual. All of this based on authoritarian top down behaviour arising out of faulty computer models and deference to a tiny subsets of self designated experts. Scientists and real experts who disagree are censored and when that doesn’t work forcibly silenced by being stripped of their licenses and even imprisoned. The last thing we need is more light weight idiots pushing bad science in order to help the same fascists switch from oppression over a flu that has a 99.8% survival rate to saving planet from climate change. Prince Charles will be the end of royalty if he continues to stumble down this path. The more he talks, the more convinced I am this would be a good thing. Time to go back to talking to plants, Charlie.
Nonsense.
you have been subject to the same pandemic health precautions prevalent for hundreds of years.
Mrna vaccines work. I thought you Watts readers were in favour of science, no religion and witchcraft?
Yes, normally the witchcraft and religion is on your side of the fence. No wonder you were the first to notice this post.
I’m not for forcing vaccines, but I’m in awe of the teams that managed to develop at least three very different and very successful vaccines. They’ve saved a lot of lives and I encourage people to read the studies for themselves . While I’m not sure children need the vaccine, I would recommend it for adults who aren’t at high risk for complications from the shot itself.
Actually, quarantines we’re once for sick people, not healthy ones. Quaint concept, huh?
And, mRNA “vaccines” do not work; they merely suppress symptoms. For a few months only, apparently. Think about it, you don’t get non-symptomatic hepatitis or cholera once you have a vaccine, but you do covid.
But, hey, don’t let facts get in the way of feelings.
When it have a ‘solution’ to a problem that makes you billions of dollars, you don’t want it to be a one-off do you? You want it to go on forever!
Now the complicit lying media are happily shouting about a need for a third shot. Soon we’ll be having mandatory shots every couple of months in order to be allowed to leave our homes…
Idiot.
Either this guy can make a buck off the Climate Change scam, or his support for it results from centuries of Royal inbreeding.
If Prince Charles poops in the woods is the Pope still a communist?
COP 26 itself is a great illustration of “talking but not doing”.
Even Greta has stumbled on that fact.
Prince Charles is a poser when it comes to the science of climate.
He lost all credibility more than two years ago with this (firm) proclamation:
“I am firmly of the view that the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels and to restore nature to the equilibrium we need for our survival”, Prince Charles speech at a Reception for Commonwealth Foreign Ministers, July 11, 2019.
Note that July 11, 2019 + 18 months = mid-January 2021, so we passed that point-of-no-return more than 9 months ago.
It is impossible for the Prince, as an aged member of British nobility, to admit “Ooops, I made a misjudgment”, rather we are embarrassingly presented now with the farce of “Please, trust me this time because I really, really know what I’m talking about.”
Hear that kids? Time to reinstate the draft so we can send you off to China, Russia, India etc to put a stop to carbon expansionism. Just think about the stuff you’ll see and do for your Instagram.
“Prince Charles has described climate change as an existential threat” It could be, for the Royal Family, if the UK doesn’t build any more wind farms offshore:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/17/offshore-wind-auction-could-raise-millions-for-queen
“The Queen’s property managers will this week set out terms for the world’s biggest offshore wind auction in a decade. Industry experts expect the complex bidding process to raise record sums, which could increase energy bills and hand a windfall to the crown – potentially generating hundreds of millions for the Queen.
The Crown Estate, which manages the monarch’s property portfolio, holds exclusive rights to lease the seabed around the British Isles for wind and wave power. Its profits go to the Treasury, which then sends 25% back to the royal household in the form of the sovereign grant.
The Crown Estate does not make its forecasts public. However, if the government’s 2030 target is met, the Queen could be collecting more than £100m a year within a decade.”
Probably not her, but King Charles, or King William would be.
