Prince Charles: Prince of Green Hypocrites
Watts Up with That? ^ | May 4, 2015 | By Dr. Tim Ball

Posted on 05/04/2015 12:27:45 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

At a 2014 Buckingham Palace presentation Prince Charles said,

"It is baffling, I must say, that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything – until, that is, it comes to climate science.”

“All of a sudden, and with a barrage of sheer intimidation, we are told by powerful groups of deniers that the scientists are wrong and we must abandon all our faith in so much overwhelming scientific evidence.”

He also referred to the “headless chicken brigade” who were carrying out “the barrage of sheer intimidation” to push their false agenda. He then said, “As you may possibly have noticed from time to time, I have tended to make a habit of sticking my head above the parapet and generally getting it shot off for pointing out what has always been blindingly obvious to me.”

English playwright Ben Jonson (1572 – 1637), best known for his satirical plays, anticipated and almost specifically identified our modern prince when he wrote,

"Hood an ass with reverend purple. So you can hide his two ambitious ears, and he shall pass for a cathedral doctor."

""Some believe the Queen is hanging on to bypass Charles and go directly to William. The problem is the nature/nurture hypocrisy will continue. William purchased

“250 pheasant, duck and partridge for a shoot at their grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate,”

to celebrate his brother’s birthday. Other stories underscore the inherited hypocrisy. William appears to be more blatant than his father.

A day after going hunting for wild boar and deer in Spain, he appears in a video with his father Prince Charles condemning illegal hunting of endangered species. Non-endangered animals are fair game it seems.""

Is this guy serious or is this a parody?

Add to the list: Leanardo deCaprio!

He rents huge gas guzzling yachts to “Party” on in the Mediterranean — and Brazil for the World Cup.

What a self-absorbed spoiled, over-indulgent hypocrite.

As a rule, science is about waiting to see the current science proven wrong.

Want to try again? So far you are 0 for 3 on the meaning meter. Maybe tomorrow when you aren't stoned.

It’ll be amusing if this gleep ever becomes the new puppet monarch.

I know a lot UK freepers like the tradition of the monarchy but....ugh. Get rid of these tabloid clown show and have Parliament elect someone to be the symbolic Head of State to serve for a fixed term or for life until a retirement age. You could still call them the King/Queen.

As a Brit, I am a royalist.
However, there are bad apples in all families, groups, communities, and societies.
One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch!

How ‘bout throwing them in a steel cage with lions, tigers and bears and see who emerges? Any survivors get to stay on as tour guides in ONE of their numerous real estate holdings.
