"We will end up seeing more drought and starvation on a grand scale. Weather patterns will become even more terrifying and there will be less and less rainfall," he said.
"We are asking for something pretty dreadful unless we really understand the issues now and [the] urgency of them." The Prince said the rainforests, which provide the "air conditioning system for the entire planet", releasing water vapour and absorbing carbon, were being lost to poor farmers desperate to make a living.
So, how much money is it going to cost to avoid all the children and little puppies getting killed by "weather"?£15 billion? What's that in real money? Lessee, carry the one... and then divide... ok, about $29,366,850,698.93 (yes, I cheated... sue me). Yeah, that's a good deal... just not for regular people. It's a good deal for socialist, power-hungry government scam artists (sometimes known as liberals) who can redistribute wealth, mostly into their own pockets.
So, why does Chuck feel the need to speak up?
I can live with that.

He should try to be more like his Mom. Or his sons. Or anybody who isn't an addle-brained twit.
I probably could have been a bit more gentle. Sorry Gentle Lady.

That's right. Let the farmers starve, as long as we can hug a tree.
Most greenies at least have the sense to blame Big Evul Corporations, so their insensitivity isn't quite so blatant.
There are times when I've agreed with him--like when he claimed that modern architecture is mostly ugly--but most of the time he should observe the rule of royalty--shut up unless you know it's totally inoffensive and not even a jihadi will get upset.

Ahh, water vapor is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. If he believes global warming is a threat then it would seem he should be in favor of logging or burning these forests to reduce the water vapor pollution.
Twit!

Hi kishnevi, a jihadi can manufacture angst, anger, and upset out of anything.
Mac, if you insist on bringing science into the argument you're going to end up in the Tower of London. (He can do that, can't he Harper?) If I end up there with you, you're going to be joining our Gentle Lady on the ban-roster here (you know... she's never complained about it either... good sport, eh?)

Not from here Sir. Only our Harper has that honor so far. She was banned here before she managed it over at the Wheel.
heh.

And if y'all don't already know how I feel about that sentiment, let me remind you~
The kind of idiot that indulges in that kind of thinking shouldn't be allowed to make any more complex decisions than whether to have the macaroni and cheese out of a box, or the ravioli out of a can for lunch.
