Prince Charles arrives in Tokyo to campaign on global warming - Times Online
The Prince of Wales flew halfway round the world today for an official tour of Japan in which he will be calling for a drastic reduction in carbon output.

Accompanied by the Duchess of Cornwall, he was greeted in Tokyo by Crown Prince Naruhito, who cut a solitary figure, being unaccompanied, as usual, by Crown Princess Masako, who has not carried out official functions since being diagnosed with depression.

Clarence House officials are already working hard to promote the key messages of the tour: climate change and the destruction of the rainforests. In an advance notice of a speech the Prince is due to give tomorrow at a Tokyo science museum they said he will call for “nothing less than an urgent, full-scale transformation to a low-carbon society”.

It would help if the Prince of Wales had a brain cell left to actually notice that there is No scientific data yet published that proves mankind has anything to do with affecting climate change.

Garbage in - garbage out compute predictions are not following actual scientific data. Far from it. Carbon Dioxide is not a poison, has not reached previous levels when the planet alternated between much cooler and much warmer and the CO2 levels were 20 times what they are today.
Taxing Carbon Footprints is about as useful and relevant as Papal Indulgences were to ensure entry to 'Heaven'.
When the Prince gets back home will he drive his gas guzzling Aston Martin as he usually does?
