Prince Charles: next generation faces 'living hell' unless climate change tackled
The Prince of Wales has warned the next generation face a "living hell" unless governments tackle climate change urgently.

Delivering this year's Richard Dimbleby Lecture, the Prince said: "In failing the Earth, we are failing humanity."
Drawing parallels with the global financial crisis, he said Nature was the "biggest bank of all", warning the Earth is on ethe bring of environmental disaster.
"Just as our banking sector is struggling with its debts... so Nature's life-support systems are failing to cope with the debts we have built up there too," he said. "If we don't face up to this, then Nature, the biggest bank of all, could go bust. And no amount of quantitative easing will revive it."
The Prince called for a rethinking of society's perception of the world.
"If only because, surely, we all want to bequeath to our children and our grandchildren something other than the living hell of the nightmare that for so many of us now looms on the horizon," said.
Referring to an earlier speech in March, when he said there were "less than 100 months to act" to save the planet from irreversible damage due to climate change, he said there are now lonely "96 months left".
He called for a new Age of Sustainability rather than our current "Age of Convenience" where the goal of unlimited economic growth is depleting finite Natural resources to dangerously low levels.

Charles is a real goofy.
One of the dangers of in-breeding.
In old days, it is monarchs and wealthy merchants who donated money to construction of cathedrals and boost their prestige. Now that religion has receded from prominence, the left came out and fill that role. This is how they sustain their movement and make a living: co-opting upper class, turning them into limousine liberals.
In that sense, the left's rival is not business but traditional religion.
He is a nutjob.
The man who would be King.
Can you imagine knowing from your first memory that one day you will be king, but getting to 60 and still being a prince? If his mum lives as long as her mum did, he may never see the crown. Who’s next in line if Queen Elizabeth outlives Chaz? William?
Yeah, Wills is the one.
I wouldn't want that to happen, for the Queen's sake. They say there's no pain greater than burying your own child, even if he is a 60 year old brat.
That must be the boy with Diana's brain. Charles may be an idiot, but Diana was a real pea-brain.
These people are just repeating a mantra, a religion is sprouting before our eyes and its a much much worse cult than the Scientologists with their Thetans
hell is freezing cold
There was a time, a generation or two ago, when it was the rare mother who didn’t bury at least one child, a very young child.
Not that I’d know, not hobnobbing too much with the Royals, but I would imagine their entire outlook on issues of life and death are focused so heavily on the lineage, succession, etc.. that they don’t have the same type of emotional investment in each other that mere commoners do.
When you think of it, when the monarch dies, the first thing they say is “The King is dead; long live the King” to signifiy the immediate transition of power. It’s just a different world than ours. And, in fact, the transition from Elizabeth to Williams would probably be the best thing from the perspective of saving the monarchy in England.
You beat me to it.
Archbishop of Canterbury: Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and of your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?
Queen: I solemnly promise so to do.
Archbishop: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?
Queen: I will.
Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?
Queen: All this I promise to do.
Then the Royal family needs to give up 99.9% of it’s wealth to the “UN” and move to New Jersey.
Yep.
cap-and-trade money, money, money...
...Whatever its impact on the environment, the cap-and-trade carbon scheme is sure to boost the economic and political prospects of people and groups that are behind it. Before the company collapsed under the weight of financial scandal, Enron under CEO Ken Lay was a key proponent of the cap-and-trade idea. So was BP’s [British Petroleum's] Lord John Browne, before he resigned last May under a cloud of personal scandal. In August 1997, Lay and Browne met with President Bill Clinton and Vice President Gore in the Oval Office to develop administration positions for the Kyoto negotiations that resulted in an international treaty to regulate greenhouse gas emissions....
Al Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). According to Gore, the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are going green. “Generation Investment Management, purchases -- but isn’t a provider of -- carbon dioxide offsets,” said spokesman Richard Campbell in a March 7 report by CNSNews.
GIM appears to have considerable influence over the major carbon-credit trading firms that currently exist: the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) in the U.S. and the Carbon Neutral Company (CNC) in Great Britain. CCX is the only firm in the U.S. that claims to trade carbon credits.
CCX owes its existence in part to the Joyce Foundation, the Chicago-based liberal foundation that provided $347,000 in grant support in 2000 for a preliminary study to test the viability of a market in carbon credits. On the CCX board of directors is the ubiquitous Maurice Strong, a Canadian industrialist and diplomat who, since the 1970s, has helped create an international policy agenda for the environmentalist movement. Strong has described himself as “a socialist in ideology, a capitalist in methodology.” His former job titles include “senior advisor” to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, “senior advisor” to World Bank President James Wolfensohn and board member of the United Nations Foundation, a creation of Ted Turner. The 78-year-old Strong is very close to Gore. ... -------The Money and Connections Behind Al Gore’s Carbon Crusade Human Events ^ | 10/03/2007 | Deborah Corey Barnes http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1910887/posts
Ha! With all mammels on earth constanly emiting CO2, all life on earth will disapear about 42 seconds ago. Next fraud.
How does Chuck get his polo ponies to the field? And does he fly them across the pond for matches with the colonials?
Let’s see...
It’s 11:00 a.m. in London on a balmy mid-July day. The temperature is around 63 deg F (17 deg C). The high is predicted to be 70 F (21 C). The low is 55 F (13 C).
The historical average for London is 72 F (22 C) and 57 F (14 C). July is the hottest month for the UK.
Lots of global warming for the Brits. Sufficient reason to destroy their economy, penalize their citizenry.
Hey, if Mother England can do it, why can’t we?
what airplane is Prince using to fly around in,
these days?
Is Prince Charles the Antichrist?

All I can say is “Long live the Queen”.
Right now the madness of Prince Charles is amusing in a way. If he becomes King his prophecy of a living hell might be partly fulfilled. May his mother live long and prosper.
He was underemployed for the bulk of his life and really not equipped to be king for the ten years he reigned.
I think that if Charles actually does get the crown, he is good for less than five years.
There, fixed it.
I don't know about serious cooling like that, but the climate is on a cooling trend for now. CO2 has little impact on the direction of the trend one way or the other.
There is a benefit of CO2: plants, including crops, grow about 30% faster than if there had never been any burning of fossil fuels.
Charles is in the running for twit of the decade. Has he ever considered that the farts of polo ponies may be a major cause of global warming?
Yeah, no doubt about that. I woke up this July morning and the temperature was 50 degrees F. I’m not sure we’ve even broken 80 yet this month. Its a real “Hell”.
Words escape me .I still have trouble understanding how people still believe this global warming scam, it’s amazing!
Here in the NY city area it feels like October more than July . It sucks , I wait all year long for the summer and the shore and it feels like I should be looking for a Halloween costume instead.Global Warming my ass.
Yep.
Just had the first recorded frost in the history in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

If this keeps up Florida wont be swallowed by the sea but will be swamped by refugees fleeing south down I-75 in their dogsleds.
I dunno. The current temperatures seem ideal to me (70s during day, low 50s at night). I hate to turn on the A/C and I’ve hardly had to this summer. The worst is when its hot and sticky at night—which has only happened once or twice this year. If you want it warmer, there’s always the Carribean.
Referring to an earlier speech in March, when he said there were “less than 100 months to act”
I love the summer. Yea, it’s nice weather for those who like the fall BUT IT”S SUPPOSED TO BE SUMMER IN JULY!
Global Warming is bullsh*t
It is imperative the Royal family cut back it’s environmental footprint. Give up the Rolls (or whatever they are driving) slaughter the horses for food for the poor, move to a hut in Kenya.
Beat me to it.
One wonders what Chas has done to walk the walk? His “carbon footprint” is probably more than AlGore’s. These hypocrites rail about carbon emissions but are only interested in what it gives them. It’s all snake oil.
What we all need to do is change our thought in line with an inbred British Prince. If we could all be thinking like the royality, we would all be...beheaders?
That is, in fact, what Dante suggested: that the bottom of Hell was the most still-born and movement-less place in the universe, hence, it was ice-cold and Satan was frozen into the center of it.
Liberal math. If Ted Danson gave us only 10 years until the end of the world and 20 years passes, how much time do we have remaining? Answer: 8 years.
He called for a new Age of Sustainability rather than our current "Age of Convenience"...okay, let's start by executing the monarchic parasites.
