Prince Charles: Mankind must go green or die
In a pre-recorded speech broadcast in acceptance of an lifetime environmental achievement award, the Prince said green views that had once seen him written off as a “crank” were now backed by hard evidence.
He told the gala ceremony for the 7th International Green Awards at Battersea Power Station in London that fossil fuels and supplies of fresh water were under pressure while the stability of weather patterns was threatened and “vast amounts of CO2” were still pumped into the atmosphere. “Humanity and the Earth will soon begin to suffer some very grim consequences,” he said.
“It’s therefore an act of suicide on a grand scale to ride so roughshod over those checks and balances and flout nature’s necessary limits as blatantly as we do.

We choose die. You can die.

None of us are leaving this planet alive, Charley Horse, including your entire inbred family tree. Suck on THAT reality.

Try peddling that nonsense to the ChiComs, buddy.

Princess Charles is a retarded loser. Who the hell does he think he is, really?
Get lost, imbecile. Go play with your royal toys and leave the real world to real people.

Turn green and die, Charles.
Just proving Thomas Paine correct about the shakiness of the hereditary principle. Pity. His mother and grandparents were by far patriots to the UK.

I prefer: Mankind: Prince Charles must die before we’ll go green (like his teeth)…

Forgot to add this. The ChiComs won’t buy one ounce of “climate change” bullcrap. In fact they’ll shoot and pollute their way to greatness in a way the USA never did.

He let Di go green. Lookie what happened to her.

When you have the income those people have, they can go first and not really notice the ten times the cost of production for their electricity. It is why they are the only ones promoting it, hoping to get enough useful morons to join them.

Says the man who jets around the world, lives in numerous mansions and who’s immediate family has the carbon footprint of a small country in Africa.

Here’s to hoping the Queen outlives this dolt. Deny the clown the crown, Elizabeth.
Thanks.

CO2 is not a pollutant. This is Malthusian nonsense.

Why doesn’t Prince Cholly go off on a fox hunt or something?

The Royals are complete nincompoops!
See what happens when cousins marry?

I wonder if Prince Cholly is aware of the science of inbreeding.

He rambles through the TV weather a couple of time and suddenly he thinks he’s Noah.

Before he starts lecturing us about Gaia he needs to apologize for conspiring with Prince Philip and MI5 to have Diana whacked.

The Clown Prince has reached the age at which his grandfather George VI died. His grandmother, the Queen Mum, lived to 101. Here’s hoping we will see a repeat of King George I and King George II who were grandfather/grandson. George I’s eldest was Fredrick but he died young, so his son George II became king upon George I’s death – his grandfather.
Similarly, William V may rule after Elizabeth II’s passing if Charles matches his maternal grandpa’s lack of longevity.

Speaking of Malthusians…
Obama’s Maniacal Science Czar John Holdren Advised Romney on Environmental Policy
In the development of greenhouse gas policy, Romney Administration officials have elicited input from environmental and economic policy experts. These include John Holden [sic], professor of environmental policy at Harvard University…
Governor Mitt Romney today announced that Massachusetts will take another major step in meeting its commitment to protecting air quality when strict state limitations on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants take effect on January 1, 2006. …
Massachusetts is the first and only state to set CO2 emissions limits on power plants. The limits, which target the six largest and oldest power plants in the state, are the toughest in the nation…
In addition to reaffirming existing stringent CO2 limits, the draft regulations announced today, which will be filed next week, contain protections against excessive price increases for businesses and consumers. They allow power generation companies to implement CO2 reductions at their own facilities or fund other reduction projects off-site through a greenhouse gas offset and credits program.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why on Earth some people claim that they saw very little difference between Obama and Romney and were concerned Romney would work against conservative principles as president.

Not to excuse Chuck but Diana’s fast style of living after the split finally caught up with her. It wasn’t the same as being married to Jackson Pollock, but close.

We used to mock people who walked around on sidewalks with signs that read “The End is Coming.”
Now we call them scientists and give them government grants or hire them as college professors or elect them to public office.
Funny, let a Christian talk about the end of the world and he’s laughed at. Let one of these guys talk about the end of the world and he’s an expert.

The fact that she was screwing pretty much anyone with a pulse does not justify Charles and Phil having her whacked in Paris. It’s just not cricket.

I eagerly await Prince Charles declaration of support for nuclear energy.
“There’s no silver bullet for solving the climate and energy crises. The bullets are made of depleted uranium and thorium.
If you’re serious about climate change, then you’re serious about zero emissions nuclear power. Nuclear power or climate change, take your pick.”

This kind of thinking, if it becomes the dominant thinking in the earth, will be the road to hell for us all. Global warming is the mother of all frauds and the mother of all government schemes. It has the potential to be used for untold atrocities on scales never conceived of before.
Hitler accused the Jews of robbing and destroying Germany. On that lie he crafted his final solution against the Jews. Global warming zealots are accusing mankind of destroying the earth itself. Within that lie lays the groundwork for justification for a new final solution against any and all deemed a threat against the earth. Germany was just one nation and yet the Nazi’s justified the slaughter of 6 million Jews to save it. What would a future people justify in order to save the existence of the very planet?
If 100 million were to die would it be too much to save the other billions who were left? If property had to be seized, if taxes had to be levied if law and government had to expand beyond anything ever thought of before… would it be too much to save the earth?
Never let a good crisis go to waste, they say. The eminent destruction of mankind is the mother crisis of them all. Everything we do is effected. From the air we breathe to what and how often we flush our toilet. Our cars, our homes, our heat our food.
This is the ultimate prize to liberals. This is the government scheme to beat them all. They are not going to let this thing go quietly. That’s why we must confront the fraud at every opportunity. Just like voter fraud, ignoring it and laughing at it will not make it go away.

BTW, that Fredrick who died before his father George I passed on (see my previous post about the history of the 1700′s), he was engaged to a Lady Diana Spencer, too! She was the great x-6 (?) grandmother of Lady Diana Spencer of our era – although she decided not to marry him in the end.

Good grief, did you ever nail with that one.

I’ll hear out any Chicken Little who claims the sky is falling. But it’s hard to take seriously a man whose only job description is “Waiting for Mum to expire”.

Charles and Philip plotting anything likely would go about as smoothly and unnoticed as Moe and Curly.

I really don’t see a big difference between most of them and your typical welfare family. They just get paid a lot more and have better government housing.
