[W27]***Prince Charles Flies into Davos, then Demands Green Taxes to Fight climate change

Mr Person said:

Oh, God. This hopeless ****ing idiocy and dishonesty again?



People need to appear in person at various events. To do that, they need to get there. I'm sure you'd all love it if they disappeared from the face of the Earth for a few months each way so that they could take sailboat followed by horse and buggy, but they aren't nearly as stupid as they'd need to be to listen to your dumb bull****.

They're not going to silence themselves by not traveling to appear simply because someone is dishonest in an extremely stupid direction on the internet.

It is not at all unreasonable to ask what justification they have for contributing to the problem or to hold activists to the standards they set for others. They aren’t adding any value to justify contributing to the problem many orders of magnitude above the average person and they deserve to be criticized for that. Nothing about the “rules as they are” mandates entirely unnecessary travel by private plane.

We ALL use fossil fuels...it's unavoidable...for now. But we ALL need to reduce our carbon footprints...not just the elite and wealthy. Doing something is better than doing nothing...and no one should have to justify themselves for trying to doing something. The elite that care try to bring awareness and put their time and money in projects and education to help mitigate the destruction caused by global warming. So before you judge others...you should ask yourself, what are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint? If you're doing nothing, then you're the hypocrite for judging others who are doing something.

Fossil fuels have been and continue to be a great boon for humankind. I am grateful and proud to use them.

That's fine...but it's killing the planet. Pride comes before the fall.

Fossil fuel will always be part of the equation....but we can and should do things to reduce our dependency on it.

Prince Charles in Davos: We need a new economic model or the planet will burn - CNN

Prince Charles flies to Davos on a jet emitting six tonnes of carbon to launch sustainable project | Daily Mail Online

Yup, he flies into the conference on a chartered jet, then demands that everyone pay more money and change their lifestyle to "save" the planet. You cant get any more hypocritical than this. :lamo

PoS said:

LOL the stalking is right on cue again!

You love showing your hypocrisy dont you? Claiming that the planet needs to be saved, yet spewing CO2 into the air by private plane is perfectly okay in your books even though thats the very thing you label as "evil."

Youve never heard of the telephone or remote conferencing, have you?

Please keep showing more of your ignorance and two-faced hypocrisy! I love it. :lol:

The Prince, Leo, and Al all pay for carbon offsets and are, in fact, "walking the walk".

Unfortunately, all the denialists who want to attack these people are willfully ignorant of facts like this.

Moot said:

Yes, it's okay to use fossil fuels if there isn't an alternative. Have they invented a low emission electric jet, yet?

Click to expand...

Moot said:

I didn't say it was okay. I said if there isn't an alternative invented yet. One person not taking a jet will not stop global warming. It would take the political will of nations all over the world and the only way to do that is to educate and bring awareness to the leaders and the people.

But the elite and wealthy are telling me I must reduce mine first. I reject that notion.

My carbon footprint is probably less than 10% of the footprint of an hours flight in a private jet.
