I am sorry but it is sad that he is all in when it comes to the Global Warming scam. You would think that he would have the ability and common sense to look into why satellite data shows that the Earth hasn’t warmed for nearly two decades despite rising CO2 levels.

I disagree with him on the climate change issue and I've told him that, but I have to say he is very well informed about a lot of the research. One advantage of being who he is is that people talk to him. He gets to talk to some of the top experts in any field he is interested in. His approach to climate change though is quite different from a lot of other people involved in the issue. I have to be careful not to say too much but I think it's fair to say that HRH has problems with the fact that most of the proposed 'solutions' to this issue tend to revolve around socialist, or at least left-wing policies. Perhaps that he feels that some of these proposed ideas are more about using climate change as an excuse to implement 'progressive' and anti-capitalist ideals rather than truly trying to fix the problem. I would say that he would argue that (assuming there is a problem which he does believe) that the best way to fix that problem is through conservative, capitalist approaches - that for most of history, problems have been solved by people who saw a business advantage in doing so and developed new technologies to fix the problems. And that's what he supports and puts his efforts behind. Take a look at this page on his official website:

University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership

The group is focused on the changes necessary to ensure long-term economic prosperity, competitive advantage and corporate sustainability at an EU-wide level.

The discussion was based on four key themes: how to maintain European leadership internationally; the low carbon policy and market fundamentals; innovation, jobs and growth; and resource efficiency and integrated approaches.

I think the Prince would argue that the approach he is advocating is one that is in the long term interest of the business community whether climate change is real or not. He does believe it's a real threat - that's certainly true - but he's not interested in the left wing, socialist approaches to addressing it, because those approaches rarely fix anything significant.

I wouldn't call him a conservative on environmental issues - he is generally one, but on that issue, he isn't. But nor is he the typical lefty on it.
