Cool. The man is worth billions. How much of the royal families funds is he devoting to get this done?
Oh, he is just making speeches and has no plans to do anything himself?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
Actually, King Charles has been a very outspoken man regarding the climate and environment ever since he was 21. He’s always been very proactive regarding the environment and sustainability, even suggesting a military-style campaign to target climate change and natural disasters and the importance of talking to plants
of all the fuckers at Cop28, he’s one of the least fuckeriest.
I know about his history of talking about change, that is all that happens at the Cop talk fests.
I was asking if he was willing to spend anything to make the change happen.
All we ever here is the rich and powerful, the ones who could do something, talk endlessly about how change is necessary.
Then they all climb back into their private jets and thank themselves for talking about doing something…again.
Yeah, it’s endlessly frustrating.
Though what can they do? Decline big oil and build solar?
Get your government to wind their necks in, then Chuckles
Go on then, put your money where your mouth is.
Maybe King Charles should do something about it, then?
Every time I reread Return of the King, it makes me sad somehow to hear about how good monarchism wishes it was.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DUBAI, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Britain’s King Charles said on Friday the world was “dreadfully far off track” on addressing climate change and that the global economy would be in peril unless the environment was rapidly repaired.
“I pray with all my heart that COP28 will be another critical turning point towards genuine transformational action,” he said, in reference to the 2015 summit held in France.
Countries, however, are divided over the future of fossil fuel, the burning of which is the main cause of climate change.
The summit, which runs until Dec. 12, clinched an early victory on Thursday, with delegates adopting a new fund to help poor nations cope with costly climate disasters.
The king, whose role is ceremonial but is attending the summit on behalf of the British government and after an invite from host nation the United Arab Emirates, did not single out any group in his speech, his first major climate address as Britain’s monarch.
Charles cited the impact of climate change globally, including floods in India and Pakistan and severe wildfires in the United States, Canada and Greece.
