Prince Charles attacks climate change 'sceptics'

The Prince of Wales launched a stinging attack on "climate sceptics" deriding them for peddling "pseudo science".
In a speech to world business leaders at a climate change seminar Charles criticised the group for apparently intimidating people from "adopting the precautionary measures necessary to avert environmental collapse".
Some experts dispute global predictions for climate change mainly because changes to the planet's climate have occurred in the past, due to natural causes.
Leading figures such as former Conservative chancellor Lord Lawson and environmentalist and broadcaster David Bellamy added their voices to others questioning the conclusions of global warming 'believers'.
Charles, speaking yesterday at the event staged by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership at St James' Palace, did not mention any sceptics by name but said: "People have heard the climate sceptics and attempted to listen to the kind of pseudo science they are peddling...I have endlessly been accused of peddling pseudo science, in one way or another, for most of my life - just think about the strange irony."

Forever a Prince of another spelling. I can’t wait until the Queen gives the throne to one of the boys. I can’t believe he fathered either of them.

Actually, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. The Queen, a
flaming libtard in her own right, can't do much more than cut
ribbons and read from a prepared script. Centuries of inbreeding
has taken its toll.

The Prince is clearly not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. He has no standing whatsoever to criticize technical competence.
