#2 Prince Chuck is an obvious authority in... something or other.

He is the Prince of Whales. That gives him the power to talk to fish. Unless I am confusing him with Aquaman.

Personally, I'm saving up all my carbon for the coming Ice Age.

#5 When M'Lady hears about the royals, she keeps telling me, "That is the reason we left Olde England and its baggage behind.

And I tell her that I miss the Queen Mum. Why, she asks? Because she stood there with her people during the London Blitz bombing. Even Elizabeth was an ambulance driver. But Sonny Boy. He is just a babbling carbon sucking drone.

I miss the Queen Mum.

#10 ...and he's (thankfully) a lot less powerful then either.

We've got our fair share of elected f*ckwits too, though.

#11 It's easy to dismiss Prince charles as an inbred royal dolt. But it's a mistake to underestimate the power and influence he actually commands. Just take a look at the crowd he was with when he made these comments.

First there's European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek.

Back in his Solidarity days he was a strong proponent for the international "One Big Union" principle. Here is part of the statement he made before his meeting with Speaker Pelosi.
In climate issue, Europe is a leader and we would like to save our planet, because we think it is very dangerous. And Americans are not very helpful.

Next there's European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.

And back in his Maoist days he was a leader of the PCTP/MRPP. For those of you not familliar with that acronym, it stands for the Communist Party of the Portuguese Workers/Revolutionary Movement of the Portuguese Proletariat

Finally, there's European Union President Herman Van Rompuy.

Some may remember him from his Belgin days when he jacked up the Financial and energy sectors to create his "Renewable Energy Fund". However, He's probably known better for recently saying, 2009 is also the first year of global governance with the establishment of the G20 in the middle of a financial crisis; the climate conference in Copenhagen is another step towards the global management of our planet."

So is the end game for these guys really about carbon emmissions? Or is it all about
Red and Green?

#12 the construction of new, zero-carbon buildings

It was -27 C (not counting the wind) in Winnipeg this morning. Talk is cheap Chuck. Come here and live through a prairie winter in such a building.

#13 Wow, Depot Guy, nice web site you linked to at Red and Green. I'm going to bookmark it in my Commie-Pinko-Scoialist-OneWorld-transnationalist-internationalist-dog poop folder.

I had no idea such dog poop existed.

#14 You first Ponce. Shut off the gas and electric to Buckingham Palace.

#15 Not to Buckingham, where the Queen lives. But Clarence House in London and Highgrove House in Gloucestersire could do with thermostat lowering, no doubt. Also his two or three properties in Transylvania. (no joke - look it up)

#16 he'd have to bring a blanket and snuggle up to Camilla in the straw in her stall...errrr... bed

#17 Not to Buckingham, where the Queen lives.

Charles has moved out of mom's house? So when is he going to get a real job?

#19 I'd do whatever is medically possibly to make her outlive him, regardless of cost. Just for GP and Great Britain
