Yes, I really enjoyed the letter from Lord Monckton:
Monckton: Challenge to Prince Charles (Over Global Warming Debate)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3119765/posts
Posted from “Watts Up With That” as mentioned in the American Thinker article.
I remember Diana, Princess of Wales, (stuff it “royal family”) told Chuckie to quit talking to plants or “people would think he was barking...” lol!
Lord Monckton has been a champion for the Tea Party, he is a science adviser to the Queen, he has a low opinion of Prince Charles’s ability to govern England effectively.
PC’s actions on this simply reinforce that judgement. Many have speculated that eventually the Queen will decide he is unfit for the job and possible let his son assume the office.
Option 1: give up any claim to the throne.
Option 2: a 2-hour debate to be televised internationally.
I bet option 2 would be much better and more interesting than the faux debate between Kerry and Gingrich on the subject of climate change/global warming/global cooling.

I bet Her Majesty cringes every time the Prince opens his mouth in public.
Oh, Man, I love this. Always thought Lord Viscount Monckton was one of the great voices of sanity in the Gorebal Warming debate, but this communication to Prince Chuckles is worthy of Mark Steyn.
He’s an idiot when it comes to Global Warming and he should immediately drop that nonsense, but it’s my understanding that Prince Charles is otherwise a conservative.
Inbreeding has consequences. It’s pretty much a given that Prince Charley is a blithering idiot.
Up Chuck!
That is of course the whole problem. Those holding Charles' view on this subject believe the issue is settled and so beyond party politics. It's like claiming belief in or opposition to the law of gravity is a party politics issue.
In fact, most liberals believe that all liberal views are not partisan political issues, they're just the way all decent people think. Only positions opposing them are considered partisan in nature.
This POV is, for most of them, entirely genuine. They really believe it.
