There’s still time to vote in the GWPF Emma Awards this year. (See here).

But surely we have our favourite here!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were today told to ‘cut the cr*p’ and stop lecturing people on green issues as it was claimed their carbon footprint could be up to 26 times higher than the average Briton.

The new analysis came after the couple were spotted in Los Angeles getting into a gas-guzzling SUV dubbed ‘as far from environmentally-friendly as you can get’ because it only does 14 miles per gallon.

But a study by former MP Norman Baker claims that this is the tip of the iceberg because of their regular flights, sometimes by private jet in the past year, and the heat and power needed for their 24,500sq ft eight-bed LA mansion.

Mr Baker claims the Sussexes create 215 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – compared with the UK average of 8.3 tonnes for the average Briton – meaning almost 11,000 trees would need to be planted annually to offset their CO2 emissions.

He told The Sun: ‘The only thing green about Prince Harry are his wellies. The self-appointed eco-warrior, who likes to lecture everybody else on climate change, is in the top one per cent of people on the planet for carbon emissions. He should cut the carbon and, if not, at least cut the cr*p’.

According to his research, the couple:

  • Enjoyed 53 international flights in the year to January 2020 – 18 were in private jets producing up to 20 times more CO2 than commercial flights;
  • Their Cadillac SUV runs on 14 miles per gallon compared to average new UK car at 48mpg
  • They have to power and heat an 24,500sq ft eight-bedroom mansion in LA – the UK average home has three bedrooms and is 914sq ft;

The luxury Cadillac Escalade normally comes with a gas-guzzling six-litre engine and marked another sustainability gaffe for the couple, who have previously been slammed for preaching about saving the planet, and then flying around the world by private jet.

    Climate action is for the hoi polloi

      It’s ‘hoi polloi’, not ‘the hoi polloi’. ‘Hoi’ is ‘the’.

        Thank you.

        I would say most people use “the hoi polloi”.

        https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hoi%20polloi

        “Usage and Meanings of Hoi Polloi

        Since hoi polloi is a transliteration of the Greek for “the many,” some critics have asserted that the phrase should not be preceded by the. They find “the hoi polloi” to be redundant, equivalent to “the the many”—an opinion that fails to recognize that hoi means nothing at all in English. Nonetheless, the opinion has influenced the omission of the in the usage of some writers.”

    We need to widen the gap… you can’t be super rich & ‘special’ unless you have lots of the poor & destitute to compare yourself to.
    & Harry is ‘special’ !!!

    The lesson here is, if you put yourself in the limelight and start berating others, you’d better make sure you are squeaky clean.

    When you lead a privileged life like this couple does it is very hard to be abstemious so you better say nothing about others’ need to cut down or someone will surely cut you down.

    They both fully deserve an Emma.

    Bring on the tumbril.

      Nah. Any publicity is good publicity. Giving an award to a publicity hound is a mistake.

    The problem here is the stupid luvvie virtue signallers will always get chosen. But they are not the threat to people persona; futures now so badly damaged by enrgy policy enacted to profit insiders at pubic expense to no actual benefit.

    Do we need a separate clasofication for the Pigs in the climate trough who are profitting from the laws they make, and the Professional Societies who profit from supporting the ffraud.

    like Gummer, Huhne, Hendry, Yeo etc.?

    Worthington.

    Paul Nurse, any other soft science etsablsiment ego who seeks honours for defying the physics he clearly does not understand.. Gummer is an existential threat to our economy.

    Kwasi isn’t because he doesn’t understand and will do what Boris tells him to stay a MInister until he gets another job where he can do what he’s told.

    He will need to ask his wife’s permission first before he is allowed to be nominated!

    I’m glad H&M are getting so much ‘support’.

    Gummer for me. A huge mansion, very suspect self- interest directorships in green companies, very dangerous economy wrecker.

    It’s not just their climate hypocrisy. They seem to be able to travel anywhere, at any time, when the rest of us are locked down, locked in, locked up and generally deprived of virtually all the freedoms that they take still as granted and that we can only reminisce about.
    Do they have some divine immunity alongside their God given right to spew out nonsense on scientific matters without the traditional practice of first acquiring, with some effort over several years, an education in such matters.

    Do they employ a publicist?
    Whoever it is, would make Max Clifford seem quite reputable.

    I think, like some others have also said, that the “Emma’s” it needs two classifications. The lesser awards for the hypocritical green virtue signallers like Harry & Megan and a higher award for those like Gummer & co who profit from keeping this green bandwagon rolling that is leading our country to economic ruin
