So, he cancels a ritzy ski vacation in icy, freezing Switzerland--- and "Prints" Charles thinks he's saving the World from 'global warming'.

What a trip.

[Hildy]

When everyone moves out of that castle and destroys all their cars and jets, then give me a call. I had to go back and check to see if this was from the onion. Really. It would have been a really funny Saturday Night Live skit.

[Scarchin]

That's so queer.

[bboop]

Prince Charles is SO CONSISTENTLY a jack-ass.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I wonder if the Monty Python group was thinking of Charles when they made the "127th Annual Upper-Class Twit of the Year" skit?

[joonbug]

Typical limousine liberal, jetting around the country with an entourage, burning jet and car fuel, all to tell us how "environmentally conscious" they are.

Is the is the Prince formerly known as Monarch?

[longtermmemmory]

I USED to think he should succeed in becoming king in order to preserve succession. HOWEVER he has demonstrated himself to be an absolute lunatic.

His father is correct in being disappointed in him. If anything Prince Charles is the ultimate feminization of boyhood. Remember the father was reduced to nothing more than an (his words) ameoba.

Fatherhood was marginalized and you end up with a wussy son who in no way shape or form should be king.

Why doesn't he quit breathing? This would save even more carbon, and at least then we wouldn't have to worry about this nut ascending the throne. Then Diana's son could be the next King.

But he and his snrourage of 20 are still coming to the US so he can receive a green award.

[The Great RJ]

Since animal farts are also a source of greenhouse gases, I hope he gets rid of his polo ponies and perhaps the horsey wife...that will save the planet for sure.

He probably cancelled because there's NO SNOW in Switzerland. It was so warm in Zurich today that I saw kids riding bikes in SHORTS. When Bodi Miller won last week in Wengen, the course had to be artificially created or else he would have been skiiing on rocks and green grass.

[ItsForTheChildren]

Plane Stupid, a climate change group, and Britain's Green Party complained Friday that Prince Charles would be accompanied to the U.S. by an entourage of around 20 people, increasing the cost in carbon emission terms of the trip.

What an appropriately named group.

I wonder which is bigger, my carbon footprint or their carbon assprint?

I wonder what would happen if we merged the two?

[em2vn]

Imagine him wearing eye glasses. He would be Pee Wee Herman's dad.

[Kozak]

Why not demand he move into a 1 bedroom flat as well?
Make him take the tube instead of his armored limo.

[Night Hides Not]

There's only one reason for the British to maintain the monarchy: tourism.

Buckingham Palace is a nice structure, but I enjoyed the Imperial War Museum and the Cabinet War Rooms much more.

Both of our societies have become so celebrity-crazed it's pathetic.

LONDON, England (AP) -- Prince Charles has canceled a traditional skiing holiday in a bid to reduce his carbon footprint, his office said Saturday


So in other words Chuck is in favor of global cooling! We need to bring back the Ice Age!

[Old Professer]

It's going to be all uphill to get to a carbon-free world.

[bray]

Is there anyone in the World who wishes their mom would die more than this clown?

Pray for W and Our Troops

There was a VERY INTERESTING ommission in this CNN article...

Prince Tampon's trip to the U.S. was to collect a Environmental prize from the Scientist, former Vice President Algore!

"Prince Charles cancels ski trip to help save planet Sat Jan 20, 2007 4:12 PM GMT"

LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Charles, criticised for booking a trans-Atlantic flight to collect an environmental award, has cancelled a ski trip to Switzerland to reduce greenhouse gases, a palace source said on Saturday.

The decision not to take the annual holiday in Klosters was made some time ago and was part of the heir-to-throne's commitment to reduce his "carbon footprint", the source said.

Environment Minister David Miliband has questioned the need for the heir to the throne to fly to New York next week with a 20-strong entourage to collect the Global Environmental Citizen Prize from former U.S. vice-president Al Gore.

"Was it a particularly heavy award?," Miliband told London's Evening Standard newspaper. "A lot of business can be done by telephone and video link these days."

Buckingham Palace defended the Prince's trans-Atlantic trip, saying the two-day visit on January 27 and 28 was being made at the request of the Foreign Office and would include a number of other engagements.

But environmentalists accused the prince, renowned for his green leanings, of skating on thin ice.

"It's the equivalent of turning up to an Oxfam award in a stretch limo," said a spokesman for the Plane Stupid anti-flights campaign group. "It's a bad joke."

Prince Charles said last year he would include a measure of how his activities affected the environment in his next annual accounts, due this summer.

He also vowed to cut his carbon emissions by abandoning chartered planes and trains in favour of scheduled services."
