'We're Living on Borrowed Time', Claims Charles

The Evening Standard (UK) ^ | December 6, 2006

Prince Charles launched his 'green revolution' with a stark warning that we are all 'living on borrowed time' if we don't stop eating up the world's resources.

In a forthright speech in front of leading figures, including Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Prince said: 'We are consuming the resources of our planet at such a rate that we are, in effect, living off credit and living on borrowed time.

'It is our children and grandchildren who will have to pay off this debt and we owe it to them and ourselves to do something about it before it is too late.'

The Prince launched his Costing The Earth — The Accounting For Sustainability project at a forum at St James s Palace attended by politicians and business and faith leaders.

They included the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams, Lord Browne, chief executive of BP, and former US vice president Al Gore, a leading environmentalist whose film An Inconvenient Truth warns the world must act now to save itself.

His Royal Chuckness is a full-blown moonbat. You have to wonder if down-to-earth Camilla ever gets sick of listening to his claptrap.

"His Royal Chuckness is a full-blown moonbat."

Most over privledged people who never worked a day in their life are.

There is one advantage of him being part of the Monarchy...at least he cannot officially become a Liberal politician.

These folks should be asked to explain why the reserves of all the important resources are larger now than they were 50 years ago.

[I see my hands]

"We are consuming the resources of our planet at such a rate that we are, in effect, living off credit and living on borrowed time."

As has always been the case there are more resources available to man today than there were yesterday and there will be more resources available to man tomorrow than there are today.

I guess it's time to kill off 90+% of the world population so this moonbat can have his cake.

[kalee]

How many homes with how many rooms does he own? What kind of car is he driven around in? And does he fly commercial?

Oh that's right he's the Prince, cramped cold accomadations are for those below him.

Enough said.

[Chi-townChief]

Back in your cage, monkey boy.

[evad]

Looks like the inbreeding has finally rendered him senseless.

We're Living on Borrowed Time, Claims Charles

We the people of the world or we the royal family?

[dfwgator]

No Future For You, Chucky.

[Mo1]

Hey Charles .. you've got bigger problems then a hole in the ozone

[Conservative4Ever]

Hey Charles...how much does it cost to heat Winsor castle?

[Right Wing Assault]

Chuck, the Muzzles are going to get you and Europe LONG before global warming does. THAT'S what I thought you were referring to in the headline.

Why don't you and your ancient looking girlfriend just go sit in your rockers?

[353FMG]

What makes this guy and Algore such experts on environmental matters? Sadly enough, what makes so many people give credence to these clowns?

[outdriving]

Perhaps his Royal Anus can show us the way. May I respectfully suggest:

Give up your huge and numerous palaces and country estates.

Fly coach.

Trade your fleet of gas guzzlers for a Prius.

Get a real job.

[Revolting cat!]

I wish there was a Moonbatland, where Charles could be King, Al Goron President, Jerry Brown Prime Minister, and Elton John Court Jester. John Lennon would be the National Martyr Hero and Founding Father, Dixie Chicks and Brbra revered entertainers, and "no religion, too".

[DustyMoment]

Well, Charlie certainly is. The rest of us are ok.

[tubebender]

What brave FReeper will volunteer to to tell this Twit that we are all on borrowed time from the minute we are birthed.

Hearing no volunteers I nominate MI because he understands the language over there and we can save a few bucks on air fare...
