Now he’s King, it’s maybe time to remind ourselves of some of Charlie’s climate predictions!

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Consistent! But wrong.
So far he’s predicted disaster in 2017, 2021, 2030 and 2045. I think that’s called spread betting isn’t it?
As regards plastic mention in the 2030 prediction, I’ve seen several reports that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is actually a haven for sea life, presumably bad sealife as it’s living on manmade plastic
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch does not exist and remember that the one of the main reasons why plastics have been developed to become so useful is because they are totally non-toxic.
I thought he was consistent when I saw the first 3 dates were in July, but then he came out in February. Was February 2020 a hot time? Or can I dismiss the idea?
Just one word needed. Sad.
Some learning skills, pushing the predictions out a bit. Perhaps being our monarch will reduce the flow.
Somewhere in the galaxy an alien is writing the works of Shakespear.
One day the sun will explode. Or we might get hit by a giant asteroid. Who knows?
Maybe he is Harry’s dad after all……..
Yes, the H cad’s dates don’t work and there are also the Spencer genes (Earl Spencer for instance).
I do have some sympathy with some of his environment concerns, but it is difficult to accept his total commitment to global warming theory, unfortunately in my mind that just makes him another nutter
I don’t think anyone can disagree that dumping industrial waste and raw sewage into rivers and coastal water is a bad thing. Planting non-native species of tree in large plantations to produce bio-electricity is not clever either.
Will the re-introduction of beavers lead to a re-introduction of malaria? Their dams will create areas of still and stagnant water across the country ideal for mosquito breeding, Didn’t the draining of the fens and other marshy areas help lead to the eradication of malaria in England? Although when it returns Climate Change will be the cause.
Along with this refusal to accept that homeopathy is utter nonsense. He’s wealthy enough and detached enough from reality to make statements such as “the price of capitalism is too high”. He simply doesn’t understand that people have different values and different economic situations. Villagers in Africa may not want to cull elephants, but they need more farmland, more living space and land for infrastructure, so its all far more complex than he and his dim sons can imagine.
Prince Dunce is now King Dimwit.
John Doran.
Not really a dimwit, 2:2 from Trinity, acting, painting, writing, musical skills but surely very badly advised, like his sons with their mental health navel gazing. Plenty of money, no real power and an urge to be seen to be doing good are a fatal combination. Despite all that he’s done some good things; Prince’s Trust, a proposed Dutchy housing scheme on the outskirts of Faversham is the best conceived and designed by far, streets ahead of all the other developer dross.
You’re as daft as he is if you believe that 2:2 was deserved – he barely scraped two non-scientific A levels, despite personal tutoring, before being welcomed into Cambridge. Anyone else would have needed three As and still have struggled to be accepted
The 2:2 is a complete fake – people were still spitting about it when my brother went up to Cambridge a few years later. As for musical and writing skills, I really don’t know what you think there? He’s very dim, very opinionated, very arrogant and rather silly that he doesn’t see that his views are only listened to because of his position, not their brilliance.
My two brothers and I were awarded Trinity engineering degrees at the time. Don’t remember any discussion about it. It was ‘Arch and Anth’ so there would have been a little sneering about that to be fair.

No point in making fun of stupid stuff he has said before.
Stupid stuff he said before can be forgiven.
Now he is king. Stupid stuff he says now cannot.
This is the first part of a section on ‘global warming’ in one of my late brother’s books:
“Next great deluge forecast by science.
Melting polar ice caps to raise the level of seas and flood the continents”
New York Times headline
Sound familiar?
That was from May 15, 1932.
It continues: “Very slowly the great ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic regions are melting and pouring their torrents into the oceans. The earth must inevitably change its aspect and its climate”.
“The earth is steadily growing warmer”, it declares; “As all the ice at the two poles melts, a stupendous volume of water will be released.
Prof.[Sir Edgeworth] David conservatively estimates that the sea level will rise 50 feet”. William J. Humphreys, of the US Weather Bureau, said that the rise would be 151 feet, which was amazingly specific. Mind you, these scientists were not talking about tomorrow. They were looking 30,000 or more years into their crystal balls. Anyone can do that — and they did.
Cassandras come in all walks of life.
“Cassandras…”
Hm. ‘Cassandras’ speak the truth but are not believed. What is the name for people who speak untruths and are believed? False prophets, I suppose.
I coined the phrase ‘Ardnassac Syndrome’ some years ago. (‘ardnassac’ being ‘cassandra’ backwards.)
I never copyrighted it so feel free ….
I was always of the belief that Cassandra told you the truth you DID NOT want to hear.
And then came the Great Ice Age panic…
Schneider S. & Rasool S., “Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols – Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate”, Science, vol.173, 9 July 1971, p.138-141
Those results were based on a climate model developed by none other than James “Hokey Schtick”Hansen, incidentally.
At least he believes what he says, unlike most of the crooks with their noses in the trough.
That’s sarcasm, right?
I think that’s just wrong. You won’t see most of those making money from all of this saying much at all about CO2. If the government s going to pick winners and provide subsidies, there will always be those who shrug and take the money. I’ve no doubt fossil fuel companies would do so if the shoe was on the other foot, as would ICE car manufacturers.
“You won’t see most of those making money from all of this saying much at all about CO2.” Yep I’ve noticed that as well. Seems nothing ever changes.
That’s our Kinky ‘Tampon Charlie’ you’re talking about …
Is he a climate Ex-Burt or a proper charlie ?
Hopefully Alan Bennett has started writing a modern version of his 1991 play “The Madness of
GeorgeCharles III”.We took care of George…..Charles is on your dime…..
Joe, when Bennet wrote the play he had originally called it ‘The Madness of King George III’. When it was released as a film the studios, aware of the American market changed the title to ‘The Madness of King George’ – on the principle that if the American audiences saw the ‘III’ in the title they’d wonder what happened to parts I and II.
(Could be apocryphal)
Thanks for that additional info Harry.
“The Madness of King Charles III” would be even more apposite.
He reminds me of my maths master of years ago, who when addressing the class of noisy boys, would proclaim, ‘Every time I open my mouth some fool speaks’.
Very good.
King Charles and Saint Greta are spoiling children’s lives. Remember the days when we were able to enjoy a bit of nice weather. Now children and those adults who believe in the nonsense are worried when we get the rare hot day.
Charles the Daft or Charles the Silly?
It’s a pity we gave up assigning epithets to monarchs.
Jug Ears the Green
More worrying than his inane ramblings on Global Warming is his association with the Woke Empire of Fascism and their determination to destroy our way of life – and in many cases, lives – in pursuit of fascism.
Gamecock suggests Wannsee Economic Forum.
“in pursuit of fascism”
No. Communism. They have said, “You will own nothing.”
GC not having heard of it I googled “Wannsee Economic Forum” and the first item that came up was titled “Wannsee Conference” with the one below it titled “World Economic Forum”.
I really struggled to see which one was the most relevant as they really didn’t seem much difference!
Its all so true, I recall him telling me, a marigold whispered in his ear, she heard it from Daisy or maple or something. This means of course, we are doomed, doomed I tell ye!
According to his own utterings he should now be extinct.
In much the same way that Harry sees himself as the ‘Spare’, I rather think that Charles has spent his life living in the shadow of his mother and felt as much of a spare too. Bearing that in mind and knowing he was bound to attract sycophants, he has tried to carve himself a place in history other than being a king in waiting. Sadly, with his well-known lack of intellect he has allowed the likes of Porritt, Van Der Post and Attenborough to guide him – and he believes every damn thing they tell him.
Charles’ 120 months predictions; wrong.
Gordon Brown’s ludicrous 50 days to save the world; wrong.
Andrew Simms at the Guardian (where else?) 120 months to Save the Planet; wrong.
Dr James Hansen scenario’s A, B and C. Yep you guessed it; wrong.
Them and everyone else whose ever tried their hand at a spot of climate witch-doctor sorcery; all wrong.
Idiots everywhere.
Environmentalist ??? Rubbish
Follow the money.
Essential Crown Estates wind farm income from all those ‘kick backs’ from offshore investors, (Crown Estates seabed) fleecing the don’t know public flock,
for years too come.
I don’t fancy James Delingpoles recipe for the Soylent Green New Deal
Two questions: Who elected him? Where’d he study physics?
