Last week Prince Charles said that our current financial crisis was “nothing ” compared to the horrors of global warming. This week he says it is “depressing” that his ravings about climate change have not been heeded.
Prince Charles is flying around South America in a private jet and giving speeches about being depressed about global warming. Yes he is. Really.
This from Agence France-Presse:
Prince Charles said he finds it "depressing" that his frequent warnings over climate change have not been heeded.
The Prince of Wales added, though, that he was "delighted'' that it seemed people had begun to realise that he had in fact been ringing the alarm over a serious issue and not "complete nonsense.”
"All I have been trying to do is remind people that we have to live and work in harmony with nature if we are to have any chance of surviving on this planet,'' Prince Charles told Brittan’s Sunday Telegraph in the Galapagos Islands at the end of a 10-day tour of South America.
Asked if he was frustrated his warnings had not been taken seriously, he replied: "It is depressing. I am not doing this for myself but, as I keep saying, for everyone's children and our grandchildren.''
The Prince added that "if now people are beginning to realise perhaps, after all, I wasn't talking complete nonsense, then I am delighted.''
Try parsing that last sentence. “If now people are beginning to realise perhaps, after all, I wasn't talking complete nonsense, then I am delighted.''
Apparently, his Royal Highness is a mighty easy prince to delight. Any words he speaks that are heard by other human beings, any words spoken that are short of complete nonsense, make him very, very happy.
Here is a suggestion for the Prince: If you want to be truly, utterly, absolutely, immeasurably ecstatic then cut out the nonsense altogether … just stop talking about global warming.
And enjoy (guilt free) your jet.
I used to think it was selfish of his mother not to step down and let Charles have a chance at being King. Now I know, that she knows, her son is a friggin idiot and she did the right thing.
Anyone who would dump Diana for Camilla has to be a few pence short of a shilling. He should be depressed not knowing whether to buy some silver skates to skate on the Zuiderzee or buy beach front property in Spitzbergen.
Very fitting title. I would be depressed, too, if I were as ignorant about AGW as the Prince is.
WILSON!
Charles needs to take his cue from the Zodiac Killer, who wrote: "... I will lose complet all control of myself and set the bomb up." Evidently he knew the difference.
I suppose messianic ego trips are the new privileged avocations of figurehead monarchs. I liked it when they stuck to polo and romantic dalliances.
What makes someone with no apparent academic, scientific or other notable accomplishments feel that he has unique insights into complex physical phenomena? Al Gore is far too poor a judge of human nature to ask.
Because Prince Charles is a buffoon!
That King thing is driving him absolutely Batty. Hey Prince, there is no Global Warming so fly that jet wherever your little heart pleases. Hope your mom lives to 100.
Pray for America, Our Troops and Rebel Republicans
Secondly, the American Revolution wasn't against the Crown, it was against a "liberal" Parliament who was using a mentally incapacitated King George as a prop. (Charles is mentally incapacitated.) Only a third of the actual colonial population supported separation from Britain.
Make no mistake, if the bulk of the British forces weren't busy with the French and the Russians, the full weight of the British military would have effortlessly crushed our valiant Continental army.
But, looking past all this, NEVER FORGET...
While the whole world deliberated their myopic pacifism and contemplated their cowardice during the rise of National Socialism, the British Crown spent endless treasures building the Royal Air Force and the British Naval fleet to defeat them and defend the entire earth from that tyranny.
While the Soviet Socialists in full cooperation with NAZIs were all too willing to divide the spoils, they also were ultimately saved by the expense of great treasure from the unwilling Allies of Great Britain with convoys and rail transport.
Yet, today somehow Britain is the villain for standing alone against the onslaught and sacrificing almost an entire generation of the best and brightest. The way I see it, we Englishmen, Scots, Welsh, Canadians, Australians, a few Irish (not all), and New Zealanders saved their asses and had to drag everyone kicking and screaming to help save themselves.
We had the same pacifist fifth column communists here in the States against the war as we do today. Britain had and has them today also.
Inbreeding eventually tells!
Prince Chuck is probably the best illustration of why America doesn’t have a monarchy. He couldn’t get elected dog catcher if he had to run for office.
This from a man whose mother doesn’t think he is man enough to do her job.
This is a perfect example of what happens agter generations of inbreeding.
Before you go any further in disparaging the monarchy, I suggest you have a chat with Senator John Kerry. Or any number of the vapid clymers who make up America's "elite." O, say for instance, Al Gore or Chris Dodd. Inherited position-holders, just like the horde of lesser Kennedy Klan Klutzes, who collectively have the IQ of a flock of geese.
nd we haven't the excuse of a monarchy. These people get elected. By us.
Thank goodness they spent much of that treasure here in the good old USA, helping our man FDR get a a grip on the Depression. Interesting that we Yanks are the ones who broke the Bank of England!
