Who Cares What Charles Says?

By Rich Kozlovich

Recently it was reported that Prince Charles took a shot at 'climate deniers', claiming it's "baffling ... that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything - until, that is, it comes to climate science." He went on to call these presumably "powerful groups of deniers" of mounting "a barrage of sheer intimidation" against opponents, calling them a 'headless chicken brigade'.

First of all, I would like to know exactly what "climate science" he's referring to - the fraudlent claims and speculations by warmers - or the real world climate being reported on by the "headless chicken brigade?  Second, there is no one who knows anything about science who has a 'blind trust in science and technology'.  Only the ignorant and foolish accept that premise.  Third, if we accept his basic premise it would mean an abandonment of all that makes science possible, a large successful industrial society.  Does anyone besides me detect a bit of cognitive dissonance in the Prince?  Well, actually no. 

The green movement, a secular religion, will use any argument to promote its goals, including name calling, intimidation, irrational logic, emotional appeals and then blames the other side for doing it.  The Prince is the perfect greenie.  Arrogant, self righteous, detached from reality and the consequences of green policies, presents arguments full of logical fallacies, corrupt in his thinking, and living a life style he claims is destroying the world. 

Finally, the "sheer intimidation" in all this Anthropogenic Global Warming nonsense came from the warmers, with the support of powerful government entities, who allotted 'acceptable climate scientists' grants to the tune of billions of dollars and were behind efforts to take grants away from those who didn't go along with “acceptable warming science”.  In effect, the actions amongst warmists in science and government became a practice of modern  ‘Lysenkoism'!

I was once told by an Australian correspondent not to beat up on the Prince because he’s a good guy being misled by advisers.  Well, that may be true, but since he embraces all sorts of greenie idiocy it would appear to me he is doing the leading and hand picking advisors that agree with him.  It further seems to me the Prince lives in an echo chamber of self congratulatory head nodders.

Let’s face it, would anyone really care what this man thinks or says if he wasn’t to be the next King of England?   Would he be allowed to get away with the comments he makes if he wasn’t to be the next King of England?  Do we really believe he wouldn’t be challenged to a public debate on what he calls ‘climate science’, if he wasn’t to be the next King of England?  Why does a man, that will be the next King of England, continue of defend ‘climate science’ that has made all sorts of predictions which are proving wrong?  Charles has access to the best information available in the world, and yet he ignores what is going on in reality and accepts greenie speculations and claims that are not only proving false, but shown to be deliberately fraudulent.

My question to the Prince would be – presuming anyone would be allowed to ask him any questions that requires him to think on his feet – why he accepts predictions that are failing versus predictions from a climatologist who’s predictions from 1999 are proving to be spot on saying, “the PDO [Pacific Decadol Oscillation, a natural cycle that fluctuates between warm and cold phases] said we're due for a climate change,”.  He claimed, “It looks as though we're going to be entering a period of about three decades or so of global cooling.”  Was his prediction right?  Yes, he went on to say,  “We have now had 17 years with no global warming and my original prediction was right so far,” and “for the next 20 years, I predict global cooling of about 3/10ths of a degree Fahrenheit.”

Here is the most telling thing Easterbrook said, “cold is way worse for humanity than warm is,” he correctly adds.  The article went on to say, "alarmists continue with ostentatious rants about nonexistent warming, just remember that what we're actually seeing was foreseen long ago by someone with facts on their side.”

There are a number of things we can take away from all of this.  The Prince is clueless, and likes it that way.  He’s deliberately ignoring real science in favor of models that amount to nothing more that “Game Boy Science”!  Like Game Boys, models spit out what they’re designed to spit out.  He must be historically illiterate regarding climate since all the previous warming periods were periods highly beneficial to humanity, and historically these cyclical warming and cooling periods occurred regularly throughout Earth’s history, and mankind had as little to do with those cycles then as mankind has now.  Finally, we need to ask, during all or any of the previous warming periods did any of the terrible consequences they’re predictiing for today occur?  There is nothing in the historical record to show it did.  If that’s the case why would we believe it would occur now?  We shouldn’t!  So why does the Prince?

The green movement is irrational, misanthropic and morally defective.  The moderates within the movement want to eliminate 4 to 5 billion people, and they’re the moderates.  The radicals, which are a large minority, believe mankind is a virus that must be eliminated.  There is even an environmental movement that calls itself the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement that wants people to abstain from reproduction to cause the gradual voluntary extinction of humankind, in order to prevent environmental degradation. And these are the kinds of people to which Charles has emotionally and intellectually attached himself.  

So now we're left with deniers as a "headless chicken brigade", and warmers - including a Prince - who are among the "chicken little scaremongers", and one of them is wrong, and those the Prince has embraced are looking like fools and frauds and - wrong!  And he’s to be the next King of England!  Isn’t it fortunate the monarchs of England are for the most part powerless?  Which makes me wonder what’s wrong with the rest of the Brits for keeping them?  Who knows, at this rate Charles' real legacy may be the end of the monarchy in England.  For that he may be remarkably qualified.
