LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles says he shares the concerns of Greta Thunberg and other environmental activists that world leaders "just talk" about climate change and were not doing enough to prevent its catastrophic impact.
Speaking ahead of the U.N. Climate Change Conference COP26, the heir-to-the British throne, 72, who has spent most of his life speaking out on green issues, said he understood why campaigners took direct action when faced with the inactivity of politicians.
"They just talk," Charles told BBC TV in an interview broadcast on Monday. "And the problem is to get action on the ground."
His views echo remarks from Thunberg and her fellow youth campaigners at a Youth4Climate event in Italy last month when she accused world leaders of "thirty years of blah, blah, blah".
Charles said he understood young people's despair and why groups such as Extinction Rebellion took to the streets to carry out disruptive protests.
"All these young feeling nothing is ever happening, so of course they're going to get frustrated. But it isn't helpful, I don't think, to do it in a way that alienates people," Charles said.
Questioned about his own green credentials, given his passion for cars and the carbon impact of royal palaces, Charles said he had converted his 51-year-old Aston Martin to run on surplus white wine and whey from making cheese, and had installed biomass boiler systems and solar panels at his homes.
He also said he did not eat meat or fish two days a week, and had no dairy products on Mondays.

Between the 2 of THEM, a aggregate IQ of about a common goat.
Two “full retards”.
Prince Charles understands retard...details at 11.
“...not doing enough to prevent its catastrophic impact.”
“And the problem is to get action on the ground.”
Give me one example of either, Dumbo Ears. Just one.
Yeah, he’s got a small energy footprint alright.
People flying in helicopters and private planes wondering why people can’t just use commuter rail instead of cars
Sure “they just talk” which is why Europe is suffering massive sticker shock right now at the jump in energy prices caused by these “green energy dogmas
Green Energy will never be economically viable without subsidy and coercion.
Prince Charles has a seat at the New World Order table guaranteed so he will always push their agenda.
But he’s a clown and I can’t hardly bare hearing him speak on anything. HE’s so self-delusional.
Did Charles mention that the Crown Estate gets to keep 25% of windmill seabed site royalties?
…”He also said he did not eat meat or fish two days a week, and had no dairy products on Mondays…”
Ya can’t make this stuff up.
So the Tampon speaks.
Grera apparently does have autism and has been abused by her parents. ?
There is a FReeper who posted this; tried to ping him, but keep getting the name wrong.
Responsiblity 2 ?
Talk is all Greta does too. Seriously ... has she done anything to help solve any of the issues she cries about?
Indeed.
Birds of a feather. In this case vultures.
All the Europeans have to do is to do what Greta’s family does.
They do do something different, such as set their thermostat to ‘off’?
Greta and her family are actually professional actors. I’ve also heard Greta is autistic. Which does not necessarily mean low IQ.
Newsflash: They can’t do anything BUT talk about it. They are pledged to attack countries, industry and people. If they tried to change the climate, you’d have to watch them fail.
Blah blah blah...
catastrophic 1 degree rise in temps... blah blah blah
less people dying from the cold... blah blah blah
more fertile ground opening up... blah blah blah
more growing season for crops... blah blah blah
more trees and plants that clean the air... blah cubed
more water evaporation from the oceans... blah cubed
more fresh water falling in rain... blah cubed
more fresh water for drinking... blah cubed
more cute animals to eat... blah cubed
blah infinity
LOL!
A long time ago we used to have someone who posted here who went to school with Prince Charles and liked him. I am not sure if he is now dead, gone or just chooses not to defend his former friend’s lunacy these days.
