Prince 'alarm' at climate change (BBC)
Prince Charles has warned that climate change is the biggest challenge facing society.

Speaking to business leaders in Cardiff, the prince said he did not think there was a more urgent issue "for any of us".

He described the evidence on climate change as "frightening" and "alarming".

"Doing nothing is simply not an option - it can't be any more, because of the urgency of the situation," he said.
***
He added: "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."

1. If he were king, and if the monarchy had any actual power, this is one
man who actually would DO SOMETHING.

Sigh.

Instead, we have poodles and such.

2. No worries, mate.
The rulers and global biz cronies have all their money, safe locations to live, they're reportedly even looking for another planet to move to for survival's sake.

Only the little people need worry about climate change, and they've always been secretly "disposable" to the high-level hierarchy anyway.

I wish it was sarcasm.
