Britain’s Green Clown Prince

By Matthew Vadum on 3.8.09 @ 9:19PM

From time to time evidence surfaces to remind Americans that they did exactly the right thing in booting out the British monarchy. This is such an occasion.

Prince Charles, already renowned for his obnoxious bloviations about the environment, is turning up the volume Al Gore-style. His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales now says the nations of the world have “less than 100 months to act” to save the Earth from a climate-change induced death spiral, the Telegraph reports.

Of course this is utter nonsense.

Long may Queen Elizabeth reign, if only to keep her embarrassing son off the throne that it’s clear he would use as a leftist bully pulpit.
