Finally! A "prediction" that is short range enough that people may remember it.
And the part about 'releasing water vapor': isn't water vapor the primary 'greenhouse gas'?

The Prince of Wales has warned that the world faces a series of natural disasters within 18 months unless urgent action is taken to save the rainforests.
In one of his most out-spoken interventions in the climate change debate, he said a £15 billion annual programme was required to halt deforestation or the world would have to live with the dire consequences.
"We will end up seeing more drought and starvation on a grand scale. Weather patterns will become even more terrifying and there will be less and less rainfall," he said.
"We are asking for something pretty dreadful unless we really understand the issues now and [the] urgency of them." The Prince said the rainforests, which provide the "air conditioning system for the entire planet", releasing water vapour and absorbing carbon, were being lost to poor farmers desperate to make a living.
[snip] Last month, the Prince had a meeting at St James's Palace with four state governors from Brazil to discuss the best way to allocate the money. One option would be for an organisation such as the World Bank to administer the fund. The Prince made clear yesterday that if nothing was done there was a "severe danger of losing a major part of the battle against climate change".

Yea! I’m getting impatient waiting for these climatic disasters. It better be at least as good as the movie Day After.
That was just in case you didn’t get it the first time, lol. Sorry.
Everybody should save a copy of this story and use it in the coming years to beat this and other world disaster hoaxters about the head when it is proven to be absolute hogwash.
Hey Chucky boy. Same answer I have for Algore: You adopt my middle class lifestyle and my mini-sized carbon footprint and I might believe you are serious about this issue.
Until then you are a hypocrite with a capital H.
Have fun at the palace!
Looks like he should be paired up with Father Pfleger of Chicago (white priest who spouts black liberation theology).
So that’s why his son had to leave the Army
It’s the inbreeding.Just look at the guy,the Royal family has run it’s course.
Prince Charles: “I first became terribly concerned about global warming when I realized that I never see any polar bears here in Merry England...... now tell me, if global warming were not already a severe catastrophe, don’t you think we’d have polar bears mucking around here, devouring cattle, pigs, and the occasional stray dog?”
Yet, they can't tell me if it'll rain next Saturday.
Well, as long as they have dooms day covered.....
