Prince Charles COP26 Climate Summit Glasgow Speech Transcript (Who is "his" in this speech?)

[EBH]

Prince Charles: (00:01) Your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, 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. Having myself had the opportunity of consulting many of you over these past 18 months, I know you all carry a heavy burden on your shoulders and you do not need me to tell you that the eyes and hopes of the world are upon you to act with all dispatch and decisively because time has quite literally run out. The recent IPCC Report gave us a clear diagnosis of a scale of the problem. We know what we must do. With a growing global population creating ever increasing demand on the planet’s finite resources, we have to reduce emissions urgently and take action to tackle the carbon already in the atmosphere, including from coal fired power stations.

Prince Charles: (01:27) Putting a value on carbon, thus making carbon capture solutions more economical, is therefore absolutely critical. Similarly, after billions of years of evolution, nature is our best teacher. In this regard, restoring natural capital, accelerating nature based solutions, and leveraging the circular bio economy will be vital to our efforts. As we tackle this crisis, our efforts cannot be a series of independent initiatives running in parallel. The scale and scope of the threat we face call for a global systems level solution based on radically transforming our current fossil fuel based economy to one that is genuinely renewable and sustainable. So ladies and gentleman, my plea today is for countries to come together to create the environment that enables every sector of industry to take the action required. We know this will take trillions, not billions of dollars.

Prince Charles: (02:40) We also know that countries, many of whom are burdened by growing levels of debt, simply cannot afford to go green. Here we need a vast military style campaign to marsh the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at his disposal far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world’s leaders. It offers the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition. So how do we do it? First, how do we get the private sector all pulling in the same direction? After nearly two years now of consultation, CEOs have told me that we need to bring together global industries to map out in very practical terms what it will take to make the transition. We know from the pandemic that the private sector can speed up timelines dramatically when everyone agrees on the urgency and the direction. So each sector needs a clear strategy to speed up the process of getting innovations to market.

Prince Charles: (03:58) Second, who pays and how? We need to align private investment behind these industry strategies to help finance the transition efforts, which means building the confidence of investors so that the financial risk is reduced. Crucially, investment is needed to help transition from coal to clean energy. If we can develop a pipeline of many more sustainable and bankable projects at a sufficient scale, it will attract greater investment. Third, which switches do we flick to enable these objectives? More than 300 of the world’s leading CEOs and institutional investors have told me that alongside the promises countries have made, their nationally determined contributions, they need clear market signals, agree globally so that they have the confidence to invest without the goal posts suddenly moving. This is the framework I’ve offered in the Terra Carta Roadmap, created by my Sustainable Markets Initiative, with nearly 100 specific actions for acceleration.

Prince Charles: (05:23) Together, we are working to drive trillions of dollars in support of transition across 10 of the most emitting and polluting industries. They include energy, agriculture, transportation, health systems, and fashion. The reality of today’s global supply chains means that industry transition will affect every country and every producer in the world. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the private sector is ready to play its part and to work with governments to find a way forward. Your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, many of your countries I know are already feeling the devastating impact of climate change through ever increasing droughts, mudslides, floods, hurricanes, cyclones, and wildfires, as we’ve just seen on that terrifying film.

Prince Charles: (06:26) Any leader who has had to confront such life threatening challenges knows that the cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of prevention. So I could only urge you as the world’s decision makers to find practical ways of overcoming differences so we can all get down to work together to rescue this precious planet and save the threatened future of our young people. Thank you.

Here we need a vast military style campaign to marsh the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at his disposal far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world’s leaders.

Who is Prince Charles referring too? Who is this "his" that needs trillions of dollars and respect beyond even the government's of leaders?

My Pastor read this today and raised the question too. Who is he referring to and also the reference to the 10 sectors of pollution. Although Charles only names 5 of them.

[waterhill]

We know whom Charles/Vlad’s grandson is speaking of.

[Whatever Works]

Our pastor read this aloud today. It is CLEAR who “his” is.

Antichrist

[Whatever Works]

Our pastor read this aloud today. It is CLEAR who “his” is.

Antichrist

[leaning conservative]

I like the royal family, but the speech is another from someone who uses more fossil fuel in a day than I do in a year, so I tune out.

[EBH]

Maybe you need to tune in?

Who is he referring to in this speech. It reads like someone who ‘needs/wants’ all the worlds wealth. Yet, there is no mention who exactly this entity is?

[MHGinTN]

Does Charles know the antiChrist presently? Not consciously. That evil one will not be revealed until GOD removes the restrainer Who is The Holy Spirit. And this means those in whom the spirit is abiding, The true Church of all believers in Christ as Whom God sent for our salvation.

[EBH]

He sure sounds like he knows. Maybe he is demon possessed himself already?

[Don Corleone]

Charlie is a functional illiterate and the result of too many cousins in his bloodstream.

[nathanbedford]

How far from "we will fight them on the beaches" has the Prince of England descended since their finest hour?

I note the old Nazi collaborator, George Soros, sitting approvingly in the audience with reptilian attention to a call for more than globalized crony capitalism, a call for top down, fascist control of the whole of the world economy in pursuit of a fantasy.

This is not merely a call to build a few windmills, this is a demand to seize the entire world economy and rule it by fiat to a degree that would make Adolf Hitler jealous. Sector by sector, industry by industry, big government and big industry should collaborate and control allocation of resources, laws, finance, markets and permissible human endeavor. All done from some undefined, all-powerful but entirely unaccountable and illegitimate global authority.

One need only think of the corruption of the United Nations or the deep state of the European Union to conceive of what might go wrong politically. Worse, one can think of central planning of the Soviet Union to contemplate what might go wrong with the world economy.

Why doesn't the Prince return to the antics and capers we so fondly associate with his dysfunctional royal family and otherwise leave the rest of us the hell alone?

[butlerweave]

I met Prince Charles and Diana a few times , ya he’s boring

[leaning conservative]

No idea & don’t care to be honest.

[SE Mom]

Is it possible he actually said “at ITS disposal”? It could be his accent or speech pattern.

I don’t know- just playing devil’s advocate. Charles is an odd duck, no doubt. And he is already waaaay overboard on climate change.

[AZJeep]

Charles, the cost of carbon is Negative. The more he merrier!

[Irenic]

He’s a follower not a leader. He’s a weak man.

[TigersEye]

Why doesn't the Prince return to the antics and capers we so fondly associate with his dysfunctional royal family and otherwise leave the rest of us the hell alone?

Because he hasn't experienced the proper motivation to.

[EBH]

Nope. Definitely his...

Listen at the 2:40 mark.

[Scrambler Bob]

Although Charles only names 5 of the sectors of pollution.

They include energy, agriculture, transportation, health systems, and fashion.

= = =

I add: Government, Education, Entertainment, Business, and the Media.

And I rate them greater ‘polluters’ than his.

He probably doesn’t even know. I suppose it is the head of the UN. But really, this is all just boilerplate. Nothing will come of COP 26 because the Chinese and Indians have said as much. And UK is continuing to ramp up coal fired generation to keep the lights on during the coming arctic freeze headed their way.
