The Earthshot Prize, which was announced in a new film narrated by Sir David Attenborough, will encourage people and organizations to create new and innovative solutions to environmental problems. A statement from Kensington Palace referenced some of the crucial issues as being related to "climate and energy, nature and biodiversity, oceans, air pollution, and fresh water."

In a statement announcing the prize, William said, "The earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate and problem-solve...

Hillary Clinton has pledged her support for the initiative and tweeted, "With Australia on fire and the Arctic in meltdown, it's clear we're in a climate emergency. I'm proud to support @EarthshotPrize from @KensingtonRoyal, a new effort to inspire Earth's greatest problem solvers to repair the natural world."

I read yesterday here on FR that her parents are upset that little Greta is being criticized. It apparently hasn’t registered that THEY are the ones who programmed her with fake crap about the ecosystem and shoved her out onto the World Stage.

They better watch out for Meagan Markel.

She wants to be a “force for change”

She’s definitely an Obamite

As bat shit crazy as Jussie Smollett

She don’t care about succession. She wants it all and she’s got a bunch of scheming conniving so called friends that want to loot the Crown in the name of diversity and change.

All these handing out of olive branches will fail. You can’t be peaceful with someone who wants to take over.

Harry is a bumbling lap dog and he’s as stupid as her.

Viva La Revolution.

There are lots of environmental problems and lots of potential solutions to many of them. I hope the prize encourages scientists and communities to come up with innovative approaches.

I’d have a better opinion of this latest publicity stunt, but the people fronting for it are refusing to say where the money for the thing is coming from.

Not a good sign.

I read the article. It didn’t contain any specifics.

I read a number of articles. Only one even asked the question. The response was a refusal to answer.

We always seem to be at a tipping point.

We’re past so many points of no return right now, according to them the last 50 years.

why anyone keeps buying their cry wolf bs is beyond me. i guess people like to ve scared or fleece money from others under the guise of fictional doomsday plots.

The so called royals pander to the Enviro-Nazis as the Muslim knife is at their neck. They have a lack of priorities to England,lack self awareness of their hypocracy and are clueless to the fact that the monarchy is finished (they just fail to admit it).

Cleaning up the environment is a rich country's luxury. The air and water in the US are cleaner today than at any time in more than a century. That's the way it worked in Western Europe and the rich Asian countries, too.

Only rich countries can afford intentionally to damage their economies for the globull warming hoax.

The biggest polluters are China, India and much of Africa. They have made it clear they have no intention of changing their policies until they too become developed countries.

So deal with it Sir Richard and Wills. Your prize will not change their behavior

That's 10 pounds and the bag capacity is only 5 pounds.

What is the prize? Money, trophy...? I don’t have a problem with someone looking for solutions as long as the solutions don’t take money, property or jobs from others.

Harry is a bumbling lap dog and he’s as stupid as her.

After Charles and Camilla, Harry is my favorite character on The Windsors on Netflix. Beatrix and Eugenie are pretty good, too.

another reason to mock the prize:

excerpt - So far, Hillary Clinton has pledged her support for the initiative and tweeted, “With Australia on fire and the Arctic in meltdown, it’s clear we’re in a climate emergency. I’m proud to support @EarthshotPrize from @KensingtonRoyal, a new effort to inspire Earth’s greatest problem solvers to repair the natural world.”...

Hillary has pledged her support freely translated means: Hillary will find a way to fundraise about this ‘cause” and get richer.
