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.

Does this mean I can shoot at tornadoes and hurricanes? Can I launch artillery at droughts? Drop a MOAB on the next heat dome? Do we use the existing military branches, or do we set up a Climate Force, with tie-dyed shirts and flip flops for a uniform? Maybe give all the enlisted mirrored hats to increase the earth’s albedo while they’re at it.
No. The last thing they actually want is some sort of war-like footing, the screaming from the woke privileged elite wouldn’t stop. What they actually want is for everyone to let them do anything they want to, for the greater good, without question.
No problem. The UK can go first. Put your people into WWII style rationing in the name of climate change and let us know how that turns out.
So we in the UK already cut our CO2 by 48.8% on 1990 levels and achieved 42% renewable electricity.
No adverse impact whatever.
That’s not what they’re talking about griff.
Reducing emissions is not enough. Emissions must be eliminated. NOW.
Let me know how stopping the use of all fosil fuels in the UK over the next say 5 years jibes with your “no adverse impact” (which of course isn’t true anyhow).
It’s really about tariffs and protectionism.
Except no industries either.
Soaring electricity bills that will cause many to have to choose between heating their homes or eating are “No adverse impact whatever”? You and your ilk just hate people, don’t you?
Which would you prefer them to do, die of cold or starvation?
From the article: “climate kookery”
I like it! Excellent description!
What Charles is really saying when he proclaims we need to be on a war-footing over CO2, is it is going to take a LOT of money to fix the Earth’s climate.
OK, but first order of business – ban Charlie from using fossil fuels for anything.
Clown Prince Chuck Saxe-Coburg und Gotha is a silly arse whose pronouncements aren’t worth the time of day.
His sole contribution to humanity is the entertainment his antics provide.
You are looking at the face of a no-consequences policy position. They may say any dumb thing you please and make any inexperienced prediction you want. It does not matter to them or the climate. You on the other hand need to stay on the edge of your seat for a another money grab at money you might make in the future.
Time for Parliament to cool the Monarchy.
“Warlike footing…”
What does he mean?
Against China, Russia, & Saudi Arabia ?
OR
Against his own people???
He means rationing, like happens when an entire nation goes on war footing for resource allocation.
Somehow I don’t think there will be much heat rationing at the palaces or government offices.
The war-time rationing would be only for the Little People, you know…. you and me.
The billionaire Bilderberg Club and the political class see themselves as exempt from such restrictions on their lavish lifestyles of chalets, yachts, and private jets that “war-time” rationing would bring to everyone else, including the Royals like Chuckles.
War is great for earning money.

HRH Charles statement is disturbing, all the more given there is no crisis that justifies tyranny.
Why do we care what a retarded Brit says?
Yes, lets go to war against climate change!
in the words of Winston Churchill…
We shall go on to the end to fight climate change…
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender! Death to climate change!
I remember that during the coronation of Queen Elisabeth, Charles was being led by the hand.
He looked completely lost and inhabiting a separate reality. After all of these years I see no change.
His 100 months left claim to save the planet is 50 months overdue. Anyone listening to this cretin needs therapy.
There might well have to a be a war eventually but not of the kind he is thinking about given that with no democracy in the UK – especially with the lying womanising oaf Johnson denying us a referendum – there may be no other way to pursue our political goals.
There could a little light if it is true that UKIP are getting their act together to be the voice of those of us on the right of centre – or Far Right as described by the BBC/Guardian.
Club of Rome co-founder Sir Alexander King declared the enemy is humanity, so one should not be surprised.
And the RIIA, Royal Institute for International affairs, Chatham House, has Prince Charles’ back – they want to define ¨ecocide¨ an international crime with military intervention an option :

War-footing should now be clear?
Can we please, PLEASE skip Charles in the line of succession?
When goofballs like him and John Kerry preach one thing but do something else it tends to make me angry. If they will give up their lifestyles of the “Rich and Famous’ and move into an 800 square home and use nothing but renewable energy for homes, then I might consider believing them, but not until. And don’t give that crap about we planted ten thousand trees to offset our use, that is only something RICH folks can do!
Prince Charlies greatest attribute is that he is actually stupider than John Kerry!
Charlie and the rest of the COP26 A-HOLES want to wage a war on climate change? The
Hell you will!! The war will be on us!! They will steal our freedom, wealth and mobility with their phony war!!
Thank goodness that jug-eared moron doesn’t have authority to do squat.
It’s amazing how, after the global warming INSTITUTION came into being, that global warming became climate change, that historical climate temperature records were adjusted to show cooler past temperatures, and that the climate temperature rise from a declared dangerous rise of 2 degrees Celsius was lowered to an even more dangerous 1.5 degrees Celsius, that the alarmists began claiming global warming to be an existential threat to humanity.
