Britain's Prince Charles has pointed to the world's failure to tackle climate change as a root cause of the civil war in Syria, terrorism and the consequent refugee crisis engulfing Europe.
The heir to the British throne is due to give a keynote speech at the opening of a global climate summit in Paris next week where 118 leaders will gather to try to nail down a deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.
"Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn't tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move," he said.
"And in fact there's very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria, funnily enough, was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land but increasingly they came into the cities."

That's the same as Hitlery and Zero. The UK's Labour Party wants to abolish the monarchy, but the alleged educational system, plus the gov't-run media of the UK, does a great job in indoctrinating people into the global warming hoax.

Because there were never droughts before the industrial revolution. Factories are bad.

HRH Prince Charles of England: Dipping into the Cherry Brandy since age 12...
To: ScottWalkerForPresident2016
The Queen knows her son is out of touch with reality.
It was revealed several years ago that the rumors that the Queen would consider advocating so that Prince William could assume the throne were coming right out Buckingham Palace.
The Queen is quite Conservative in her political views. While her and Lady Thatcher did not agree on everything, the Queen is not a leftist by any stretch of the imagination.
Charles is a Hindu goddess worshiping, Gaia adoring, two faced, manipulative fool. It took Lady Diana about 1 month with him to figure it out.
William is, by all accounts, a splendid man: unpretentious, kind, loving and loyal towards his wife and child, astute, and dignified.

Well, now we know he didn’t kill Diana. He’s to dumb to have pulled it off.

"Some of us were saying 20 something years ago that if we didn't tackle these issues, you would see ever greater conflict over scarce resources and ever greater difficulties over drought, and the accumulating effect of climate change which means that people have to move," he said.
You were also saying that the ocean level would rise, several coastal cities would be flooded, and we would have more and more devastating storm. But seeing how none of that has happened I can understand how you might not want to mention it.

I’m sure Charles Martel (a better Charles that this dhimmi will ever be) thought climate change was the cause of the battle with the Islamic horde in 732.

Most true statement- inbreeding in both royal family and the Muslim world. Since they have been violent for centuries and claims of climate change are new, were the savages acting in anticipation of climate changes? May the Queen outlive Charles.

When Charles threw over Diana for Camilla I thought he needed to get his eyes examined, now I know he needed to get his head examined.
