Raving lunacy from Prince Charles

See the remarkable stuff here:

The Prince of Wales has called for a "war" on climate change warning that the world faced a catastrophe without a "revolutionary" approach to the threat.

In his first speech to the European Parliament, Prince Charles delivered an apocalyptic warning that time was running out unless there was concerted action.

"For me, the crux of the problem is - and I only pray I will be proven wrong - that the doomsday clock of climate change is ticking ever faster towards midnight," he said.

"We are simply not reacting quickly enough. We cannot be anything less than courageous and revolutionary. If we are not, the result will be catastrophe for all of us, but with the poorest in our world hit hardest of all. In this sense, it is surely comparable to war," he said.

"The lives of billions of people depend on your response and none of us will be forgiven by our children and grandchildren if we falter and fail. I don’t think there is a more urgent issue for any of us to be addressing at work, at home, and indeed in every facet of our lives, than climate change."

He said that the EU needed to show stronger leadership by uniting public and private sectors and non-governmental organisations.

"Determined and principled leadership has never been more needed. Surely this is just the moment in history for which the European Union was created," he said. "Can that moment not be captured before it slips lifeless from our grasp?"

I wonder if this means that the Prince may cut back to a 236-foot luxury yacht on his next tour of the Caribbean?
