© Associated PressPrince Charles addresses the European Parliament in Brussels
Flanked by the panjandrums of our European government, the Prince of Wales once again held forth in Brussels last week on the favorite bee in his bonnet, global warming. He bemused MEPs with a welter of dubious statistics, called for a drastic reduction in our economic standard of living and ended with a swipe at those heretics of our time, the "climate change skeptics" who are corroding public debate by daring to "deny the vast body of scientific opinion that shows beyond any reasonable doubt that global warming has been exacerbated by human industrialized activity".
As defender of the faith, of course, the Prince did not need any proof for such a dogmatic assertion. But whether it is wise for him still to be showing such religious attachment to this particular belief system, just when it is rapidly falling apart, is questionable.

I like the way this particular global warming monkey takes a carefully worded swipe at anyone who would "deny the vast body of scientific OPINION"...what he is clearly saying to us, is that all he has to back up the argument on global warming is "Scientific Opinion", and not "Scientific, Verifiable Facts or raw data". Like Bush before him he's simply hoping that if he closes his eyes and click's his heels three times, repeating the same mantra "There's no global cooling", that he will catapult the propoganda and get people believing his lies! I wonder if he has spent much time North of the border in Balmoral this winter...no warming there for him.
