DAVOS -- Britain’s Prince Charles said on Wednesday that global warming and climate change are the greatest threats humanity has faced, calling on business leaders in Davos to act now to create a sustainable economic future.
In a speech to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in the Swiss ski resort, the British heir-to-the-throne said it was time for everyone in a leadership role to take action “at revolutionary levels and pace”.
“We are in the midst of a crisis that is now, I hope, well understood,” he said. “Global warming, climate change, the devastating loss of biodiversity are the greatest threats that humanity has ever faced and one largely of our own creation.”
His warnings came a day after U.S President Donald Trump, also speaking at Davos, dismissed “perennial prophets of doom” on climate change.
The 71-year-old prince, who chose to make the final leg of his journey to Davos by electric car rather than helicopter, has spent much of his life campaigning for business and governments to take more notice of environmental issues, admitting that “quite frankly it has been a bit of an uphill struggle”.
“What good is all the extra wealth in the world, gained from ‘business as usual’, if you can do nothing with it except watch it burn in catastrophic conditions?” said Charles, who was at Davos to launch a Sustainable Markets Initiative that aims to find ways to decarbonize the global economy.

folking moron, barking mad as Diana said.
Has that guy ever done a single thing I respected?
I’m sure he has, but it seems like he’s always put in his foot in it.
I’ve pretty much written off the entire British Royal Family of Harvey any credibility whatsoever.
Prince Charles (the Sustainable Prince) intends on ushering in The New World Order run under UN Sustainable Development, Agenda 21 marxist principals.
Trump has news for him.

Once upon a time, environmental activists claimed that they wanted to save the planet for the children. Now they want to save the planet from the children.
Worse than benign because they represent that evil system of government and are useless figureheads that are a waste of British tax revenues and a burden on the British people.
Plenty more where he came from. Queen Victoria of Saxe-Coborg furnished royals to the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Spain!
Charles and the rest of the ruling class in Britain want use climate change to distract from their wanton destruction of their own country through the importation of extremist Islam.
And I repeat my point...
My ancestors in Sweden suffered under the monarchy there. Of a family of 7 only one person survived starvation and disease and he immigrated to the United States. Thank God for that otherwise, I wouldn’t exist.
As the royal idiot continues to spew eco-toxic BS.
‘... warming and climate change are the greatest threats humanity...”
Never thought of climate change as a threat - actually it has been a treat - winter, spring, summer, fall - gentle winds, nor’earters, and hurricanes, high/low tides, - it’s all part of nature and nature is God’s plan. Climate has changed continuously since Creation. And mankind is helpless to do anything about it. Enjoy!!!
How TRUE!-)
Prince Charles: 100 months (8.3 YEARS) to save the world
The Prince of Wales is to issue a stark warning that nations have “less than 100 months to act” to save the planet from irreversible damage due to climate change. 07 Mar 2009
Same old song-and-dance from one of the UK’s greatest
embarrassments.
Stupid man. Probably is still wondering why his son is embarrassing the family pursuing SJW nonsense and “woke” American actresses.
UK’s Prince Charles announces to the world that he’s an inbred idiot.
Charles needs to have this job, like in the good old days.
It’ll keep him out of trouble!
Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.
When they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither up nor down.[1]
Title already taken, his brother, Andrew, is the Duke of York.
Then he can march them up the hill!
C’mon lets help out Chuck needs something to do!
Idle hands and all that....
Does the Falklands need a new royal governor? This time the PoW to really whip the island & sheep into shape!
