Prince Charles isn’t quite the global warming hypocrite Al Gore is. But he’s working on it.
The un-peripatetic prince traveled to Manchester to give a global warming speech aboard the Royal Train, pulled across the British countryside by a pollution-spewing, coal-fired steam locomotive.
Rather than bore you with the details, here are a few quotes ClimateGate.com pulled from the story:
“I have watched with growing dismay and alarm the glee with which the sceptics have leapt upon the recent news stories that question the science that climate change is man-made and suggesting it is nothing more than a myth.”
“Well, if it is but a myth, and the global scientific community is involved in some sort of conspiracy, why is it then that around the globe sea levels are more than six inches higher than they were 100 years ago?”
“This isn’t an opinion – it is a fact.”
“And, ladies and gentlemen please be in no doubt that the evidence of long-term and potentially irreversible changes to our world is utterly overwhelming.”
“But I trust we do all know that these wonderful innovations [steam engines] carried with them a long-term cost that nobody at the time could possibly have foreseen.”
“I don’t know about you, ladies and gentlemen, but I happen to mind very much about the sort of world in which my children and grandchildren – and yours – will be living.”
“For all of them, I believe we have a great responsibility to do the right thing by them and so I, for one, am not prepared to play some sort of Russian roulette with their futures.”
Charles has had a busy year saving the world. He was busted in early 2009 for chartering multiple private jets to fly his entourage to the Amazon for one of his hypocritical global warming lectures. And a few weeks ago he upped the ante by once again chartering private jets fly to the Copenhagen Global Warming Circus & Freak Show.
Prince Charles, King of Hypocrites. Whoever invented the phrase “royal pain in the ass” must have been thinking of this guy.

The Prince wasn’t the only one effected by the recent stock crash. but he certainly was one of the first to adopt a more green, oh dare I say,.. ‘progressive’ way of banking with the state.
Could be all the inbreeding.
Ahh, you are confused. One man’s inbreeding is another man’s predigree.
This is not news. He is crazy.
KQ, Since he really has no job, he has time to be the way he is. His theme song could be “Too Much Time On My Hands” by Styx. He should not take over the British Throne when the Queen passes. He should turn it down & pass it on to Prince William. Prince Charles is not fit to be King.
I truly dislike him.
I was in the past hoping that if he does get to be King that he would abdicate to marry what’s her name. Isn’t she divorced and her ex-husband is not dead…? His great uncle abdicated for that same reason so I was shock that the marriage happened and he is still in line to the throne when his aunt had to give up the love of her life in exchange for not loosing her place in the line, etc. I just couldn’t believe it, but I guess times have changed.
In any case, I don’t know if Prince William is fit to be King either. I don’t think he wants it although I think Harry does but not sure he is fit to be King either. I feel that the royal line should end with Elizabeth II after all the royals are mere figureheads. Charles is a joke and William I think would rather just have a normal existence.
He too should shut his trap and go play “pretend to be a tampon” like he said with Camilla……
What a jagoff
LMAO!!! I forgot about that line! Actually, I think he said he wanted to be one, but either way, the SNL skit was freakin’ hilarious!
