Prince Charles calls for 'swift' action on climate change

In a recorded message, to be played at the virtual opening of Climate Week on Monday, Prince Charles said"swift and immediate action" was needed.

The prince said Covid-19 provided a"window of opportunity" to reset the economy for a more"sustainable and inclusive future".In his message, recorded from Birkhall in the grounds of Balmoral, Prince Charles said:"Without swift and immediate action, at an unprecedented pace and scale, we will miss the window of opportunity to 'reset' for... a more sustainable and inclusive future.

"[The environmental] crisis has been with us for far too many years - decried, denigrated and denied," he said. "It is now rapidly becoming a comprehensive catastrophe that will dwarf the impact of the coronavirus pandemic."

I'm calling a swift go outside and play a round of hide and go eff himself!

How about you deal with your ridiculous son and his cheese ball wife- Hairy - climate change isn’t the biggest problem- sheesh this guys thick- pass him over!

So sell your palaces, Bentley's, Rollers, limos etc & buy a 3 bed semi. Your present CO2 emissions are titanic! ✈️👎

stop this fkn fear mongering, weather reports go back 100 years but history is a million years. We had warm and cold a million times before this guy was even an idea. Why do media even allow such crap. Best regards from tropical iceland where it fkn snowed last night!

You nailed it!

Is everyone stupid we need to sort out what’s going onNOW

Char, Since you are concerned about people Landlords in the UK can evict tenants starting today your country is about to be populated by homeless in the next few hours. Let’s get Marshall law to remove your family from the castles! People need a place to sleep. Winter is coming

The carbon footprint of Charles and his family must be thousands of times larger than that of most people in the U.K., and millions of times larger than many in other countries. When Charles decides to live humbly I’ll believe he genuinely cares about our planet.

The Commonwealth is plagued by punkish 3 star recording companies with 5 star TS works in music.

Greedy Prince 25%: ..the monarch’s property portfolio, holds exclusive rights to lease the seabed around the British Isles for wind and wave power. Its profits ...which then sends 25% back to the royal household in the form of sovereign grant.(no tax?)

Swift action on Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit result would also be helpful.

These Royal hypocrites fly around in private jets and then tell the general public to reduce their carbon footprint?

This is not the time for climate change. We are in Covid_19 pandemic

Charles is A hypocrite! He lives in palaces and stately homes and travels in private jets While lecturing the peasants on how to live.

He is right!

Stop driving gas guzzling cars and taking private flights.

Spoken like a true tyrant.

Swift seems like an optimistic term that ignores the decades of inaction.

In 1993, Prince Charles said we needed 'immediate action' to stop global warming

Eleven years ago, Prince Charles said we had less than eight years.

Why doesn’t he just shut up?!

Meanwhile him and his cronies will continue to take private jets to Davos to talk about climate change!

We need someone with magic stick.🥕

get over to China then and speak to them about it.

What about his noncey brother ?

swift action is already on its way its called plandemic.

Forget the climate....let's sort Covid out!

😂😂😂 What A Hypocrite! ClarenceHouse 👉 Prince Charles has BANNED WASHING LINES on his new housing development estate in Cornwall! So ppl are forced to use more electricity - clothes dryers - no fresh air drying your washing on a lovely sunny day.

Prince Charles the scientist, get bent

Globalist shill

More 'can kicking'! Next!

Prince Charles would be better served calling for swift action on his idiot son and grifter daughter-in-law . He can start by stripping them of their titles.

Scum of the earth.

Lovely....so sweet, so green.... Agenda21 Agenda2030 UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Shame he is not so swift to sort out the embarrassment that is his son!!!!

Confusing times. Some look to blame other nations. Some prioritise economy over people. Others consider it was inevitable given the warnings the world was given for decades and ignored. Remember Paul Éluard; “There is another world but it is in this one.” PeopleFirstUK Covid19

austeni He's as lost as Biden is.

Prince Charles is a loony, why does anyone take notice of anything this buffoon has to say?

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Bring on the Republic.

Nobody cares

Anyone notice how he steps out of a Bentley mulsanne v8 that does about 18mpg to tell everyone we need to take climate change action

Tories in owner cash is king

DefundTheBBC

Better yet, let's have some swift action in relegating the monarchy, it's parasitic incumbents, and it's antiquated rituals to the dustbin of history. Old Liz won't be, around for very much longer. Let her take the whole ridiculous paraphernalia with her.

Always take advice from Jimmy Savile and Bishop Peter Ball’s friend.

You have no chance with this government in charge

So, no more private plane trips and convoy escorts for the royal family then? Or is this just them trying to remain relevant in a world that's literally headed to oblivion because of rich pricks like them. That last part wasn't a question for a reason.

Looking forward to seeing the released Epstein flight logs Charlie?

The heather is not doing well and it's fucked up the grouse season.

Trying to manipulate planet wide climate as part of an arrogant and deluded belief that a harmless plant food is having an impact while ignoring billions of third worlders abusing their environment through resource grabbing and over-population.

His family like to lecture and preach about conservation, provided its in another country. There not so keen when it comes to anything that impacts their pleasure for killing. Perhaps if they spent more time sorting out the impacts of UK shooting I would take them more seriously.

How about Charles, and his family spending less on building renovations and moving into a caravan to cut climate and greenhouse gases! No, I didn't think so!

Stop flying and sell the Astons, then.....

So, no more private planes trips and onvoy escorts for the royal family then? Or is this just them trying to maintain relevant in a world that's literally headed to oblivion because of rich pricks like them. That last part wasn't a question for a reason.

Brilliant Sire! Then why did you jump in a plane and fly straight to your holiday home on Royal Deeside as soon as you caught Covid-19?

That is a strange statement coming from one of the biggest polluting families on the planet! Prince Charles needs to look himself in the mirror and ask, what damage have I done? What damage are my whole family and me still doing? No, Mr Prince. You ARE a polluter. Sort it out!

Just after he gets off his private jet..... Get out of town PEDO

Mariebe10098426 I think we need swift investigation into Charlie boy and his close association with Jimmy Savile

So many people on here who would rather we continue to destroy our future. Truly ignorant.

I’m a monarchist, Charles is a globalists, the green agenda these people promote is not green, Electric cars need batteries, these have a short lifespan and require cobalt, which is mined in Congo usually by children. Renewables are not green, this agenda has been hijacked.

The royal family with their huge palaces and gas guzzlers must be the biggest CO2 emitters in the country. Their hypocrisy has no bounds.

Prince Charles wants to go to a care home and settle down.Jack Vallance

We call for a swift arrest of your nonce family. German

Which Prince Charles though?

Maybe he and his brothers should sell their medals. None of them saw any action so they're not real. Trying so hard to matter bless em

This man will bury the Monarchy, he’s a weirdo tree hugger with no sense of balance

What have the swifts ever done to us!?

Load of bollocks anyway. I'll be down the boozer if it's sunny, raining or snowing makes no difference to me

Let's get those lizard palaces scrapped off first then. The halogen bulbs must cost a fortune to run

So let’s reset our economy to an inefficient, expensive, ‘real job’ killing position when we haven’t got any money. The greens haven’t got a clue how to provide energy for the world in their utopian wet dream society. No catastrophe folks. Get on with your lives ‘as normal’.

This is virtue signalling and more, sounds and looks good saying it but no substance to it. 🥱🥱

What a plonker

And for swifter action on his brother

A lot of people sure are angry at someone just talking about climate change

Anybody who believes that anthropogenic activity has had no effect on the climate is a moron 🌎🌏🌍

What's his own personal carbon footprint ? Start with him..

🤮🤮🤮

Piss poor judgement that fella

That’s that sorted then.

Wait wait... but when I Harry...🤷🏿‍♂️

Sorry but we have enough to worry about ATM without worrying about climate change

Can we just get over Covid-19 first? One thing at a time.

Pervers !

the pédophile family !

We are dealing with a global pandemic Charles, one you tested positive for. Save your soapbox for another time.

A bit rich?

He needs to get back in his turret

Any news on his brother?

He is easily fooled. Climate change is a Marxist invention the same as BLM. They use it as a cover. Wake up Charles!

True, we need swift action, but he’s among the last people to be ‘preaching’ about it. Does he live the ‘green’ life? Not from what I know he doesn’t.

Was it Prince Charles who spoke at WEF or an imposter with a smudged fake scar on his left cheek?

Err think we’re all busy at the moment with other issues

Action !!!!! Were not allowed out

Maybe one needs to build more eco houses on his acres of free land.

Country want swift action against his brother for being a nonce

Where did I read that at breakfast time there are lots of eggs boiling for him so he can pick the particular egg most acceptable to his taste

In 2009 our clear-eyed, well-informed, non-idiotic future king told us 'We have 8 years to save the planet'. So, is this an admission he was talking cobblers then? Why would he be any more accurate now? Non-story.

maybe stop your kids and bother from using so many helicopters and private jets

And he is quite correct. Any voice, political or otherwise is welcome in drawing attention to the this critical issue IMO.

He could start by making the packaging on his Duchy range recyclable.

One question for him. why do you need 27 different castles to live in

This might require fewer private planes.

oil plastics have to go red meat is a delicacy a treat. the body goes cancerous. there's reasons why many tribes ban it as pork fatty salty death there. the use of plastics is down to the supermarkets. what happened to paper bags and actually picking out your portions.

Does this mean smart meters are not very smart at all? asking for a friend 🤔

Then how about him setting the example. Give up his travel perks and use public transport. There is only him and Camilla, so downsize/move into a 2 bed house and give up his high maintenance properties. Getting rid of all his butlets/valets will also reduce his carbon footprint.

He means quick action for the Reset him and his buddies at the economic forum have planned for us 🤦🏽‍♂️

His loggers have been doing clear-felling in Cornish woodlands, sparing no tree regardless of species or age: and

I call for swift action of stripping the royals of their tax payer funded life, stolen lands and privileges.

Yet clarencehouse & fellow royals such as KensingtonRoyal support & promote driven grouse shooting, despite its proven effects on climate change & biodiversity Hypocrites ClimateChange BanDGS

Hope Charlie reads the comments, AGW is BS, CO2 is essential for life, 416ppm is not dangerous.

We definitely need something quick, as leaving companies isn't working fast enough. I have noticed a bit of change on tins of beans, who have lost there plastic wrap on multipacks. But with beer cans, some have lost the plastic that holds 4 packs together, but not many.

Swift action on his pedo brother

Tell us first what you and your family doing how many houses are heating every winter how many car you need when you go somewhere?

Yeah yeah yeah but what about Sweaty the helicopter boy? What about some swift action on the Pizzahut prince? PrinceAndrew Epstein

... and rather more importantly, so are thousands of actual scientists with real knowledge and evidence.

Fully support Charles - this is the main issue of the century - if it’s not sorted, nothing else will matter as we will be extinct.

Nothing better than a Royal reading the room 😂😂😂

No one's listening no matter what is said about climate change. Still we cover fields in concrete to accommodate our ever increasing population. 2 car families the norm, now creeping up to 3. ClimateChange Biodiversity2020 ClimateEmergency

He is well meaning but wish he & his friends would stop building their modelvillages towns £Bury's on GreenfieldSites Greenfields Greenbelt greenspaces !

charles the obvious case study that inbreeding effects ones ability to think rationally , did he not predict half the country would be swallowed by rising sea levels by 2012 ?

**** off

Yes, let’s all convert our classic cars to run on wine...

Prince charles should be investigated with his connections with saville, andrew and epstein. This man should not be next in line for king

Swift arrest of his brother would be good as well 🤷‍♀️

This shows he has lost sense of current issues.

..........again

Bit late

Sod off Charlie

Nobody cares what this nonce has to say, and nobody believes your pedo lies BBC

They don't listen to queen mommy will they hear you prince ClimateChangeIsReal

Yes they need to take electric cars back out of circulation they are not fit for the Conscience of humans.. Fight4WhatIsRight

Can we have swift action on Prince Andrew please nonceroyal

Owz about that then guyz and gals!

glad to know there's one thing that's always consistent no matter what happens

Bill Gates is publishing a book on 16 Feb. 2021, titled 'How to Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need':

From Kill Bill's GatesNotes site: 'COVID-19 is awful. Climate change could be worse...':

Swift action to whom how about China, India, Mexico all big offenders! While the US and others patrol, and tighten laws in their own counties, the others pollute our waters, air and land! We must have hard rules for all with consequences!

Who cares?

That’s great, so he’ll donate most of his wealth for the good cause then.

Mind your own business, Charlie boy.....

Madame Swish.....3:30

But not on the investigation into his brothers dubious activities.

Swift action? 1) Prince Charles statement is evidence he supports the current destruction of the UK economy 2) Unless Charles learns the truth that man made 'climate change' is a hoax he is destined to be hated like HM Charles I

Is he funding to help then?

Says the man who is second in command of the single worst environmentally friendly family in the UK.

WinterfellT Fuck it let’s go back to the Stone Age and burn logs in caves. The future will be bliss.

You might start with your heating bills...... Leadership is needed not bullshit talk

Wonder what he is doing to swiftly cure climate change.

'Climate week'.....

Globalists pushing the great reset The answer is No. Stop this lunacy!

I wonder why how much money has he invested in green deals 🤔

Our unelected future Head of State getting involved in politics. Chosen by other unelected, unaccountable globalists to usher in a global new world order that uses a global pandemic (handily the pretence of one is at hand) to reshape the global economy.

Yes, he's straining at the leash to enhance the neo-Marxist march in sync with the global Pandemic to usher in a new dystopian world order via a 'planned' collapse and vertical integration of the world economy, amid the social upheaval both processes are initiating.

Too cold in Windsor? IceBearPhobia? Holy Mother of Jesus!

Prince Charles, our unelected, unaccountable future Head of State/Commonwealth chosen by unelected, unaccountable globalists to launch GreatReset in June. An Orwellian vision which uses a global pandemic to usher in global governance without nation states, freedom or democracy

So the plebs have to sacrifice. What will Charles be sacrificing?

Like addicts we'll defend our drugs till the bitter end. Like addicts we need to acknowledge our addictions and get off them ColdTurkey ExtinctionTheFacts

Calls to switch on the aircon when the girls are naked?

Tell him to get rid of his 5 houses, many cars and private jets and we may listen to what he has to say...Hypocrisy

Live in one house then... That'll help.. 😁

Too right act now it don’t bother no point saving us from corona with a painful path of storms and pain just hope governments listen and not just ours and increase green taxes one world act united. Foreign aid budget might become disaster budget if not!!!!

Abolish Charles Windsor and rest of the family of dinosaurs and that would reduce the carbon footprint massively. No one would even notice they were gone after a year or so.

It’s a bit late for “swift” action.

Maybe he should stop talking hot air......

🤣🤣yeah right ...

God give me strength......

This Prince Charles?

ClaudiaBryan01 I call for swift action on his brother.

Who

They just want to take away our mod cons reduce the population through vaccines retain a quality of life for themselves, as if they are meek. Fine if you want to speed up your own judgment and inevitable destruction.RoyalFamily

This is becoming a joke now, we the UK are becoming an embarrassment

Yeh it is easy go waffle on about Climate change when you are rich. Poor people only think where the next meal is going to come from

Prince Charles is CORRECT.

Thank you, you always campaign environmentally. But why does it always seemingly fall on 'deaf ' ears.... Trump anyone !?!

And he flies on the states jets whenever he travels. No commercial flight for him. No EV for him but gas guzzlers

Swift action for the plebs. Private jets for Charlie.

I'm doing my bit by driving slowly through tunnels.

He needs to stop being driven about in gas guzzling cars and flying too then OneRuleForThem

You have to convince the US, China and India on that one...

Lets 'reset' this monarchy thing...

Fund the action with your money Prince.

Well that'll do it, then

Not now Charles.....

Oh dear. Governments worldwide can’t manage a natural virus so I don’t fancy their chances at short term weather management, let alone longer term climate management.

Giz some of your dough Charlie boy then IU can use public transport instead of polluting everywhere by walking to where ever I'm going to

But his Govt does not believe in climate change!🤔

He probably has 1000 fold carbon footprint compared to the normal person. Maybe more with his private flights, numerous houses with tens of rooms, castles, entourage of cars, not to mention all the extravagance. Do as I say not as I do. One rule for us another for them.

Anyone using the word swift in relation to climate demonstrates they haven’t anything worthwhile to say.

Stick to tending your garden.

Not now Charlie boy. Don't you know the government is at war with its people?

Oh shut up.

How about really swift action by scrapping your chauffeur driven Range Rovers and travelling to your private plane ride in a Prius? hypocrite

More important things going on at the moment

Yes, lordship, your wish is our command

I thought the monarchy were supposed to be impartial

Ummmm too late by about 70 years , its late September and the temp is 25c in UK thousands of species are now extinct. All that is left to do is adapt.

It appears he's member of that cabal of nutjobs.

Says the man with no solar panels, drives big cars and fly's all the time. 😂

I call for swift action on his brother but we don’t get what we want

Looks really serious.🧐

Sir I am trying but can't get the support needed

They’re like the kardashians but with even less talent. Part of me wonders if they pay journalists to act interested.

Yeah lets blow a few Trillion for the big green scam - Bankers are drooling in anticipation with glee at the huge bonuses that will come their way

The comments once again proving just how stupid most people are.

Poor queen

Thank you 🙏

tell the dim witted fool (only to be polite) Charles_HRH could offer the people a sustainable future by having a lawful elected democracy he or his mother Queen_UK have decided to unlawful steal from the people of Britain ?

Lightning fast

Stopping using old fossils like him would be a good start

Will he stop travelling on a private jet then?

Should also call for swift action against Andrew

Can we get thru the pandemic first and economic ruin. God help you Brits with this idiot as king

Can’t he just “have a word” with the trees and get them to up their game?

More important things on at the moment Sir. Do one till this is over.

If we stopped the use of all fossil fuels today in 50 years the average temperature of earth will reduce by 0.3°, no such thing as swift action because even if we did the most possible it wont change much for decades

I bet he does Qanon76 QohnG

Do one big ears, we know what’s coming...

Swift action was needed years ago .

When he lowers his carbon footprint to the level of an average person I'll match him (and increase mine)

Bit late pal, we’re doomed, doomed I tell thee

Yawn

Covid 19 provides an opportunity to reset the economy for a more miserable future says emergency king.

huzzah.......

Yes, I agree... start with “duchy” packaging and let us know how you get on!
