Prince Charles is fond of lecturing commoners about how we need to sacrifice our lifestyles to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but he is dealing with a royal case of embarrassment after having been exposed hypocritically jaunting around the world in private jets and helicopters.
In July 2019, Charles said we have just 18 months to keep climate change “to survivable levels.” That would leave us with less than 12 months to save the planet. Considering such apocalyptic consequences and such little time to act, one might expect to see Charles doing everything possible to drastically reduce his own carbon footprint, but that most certainly has not been the case.
In an 11-day span in January, during which he met with child climate activist Greta Thunberg and lectured the rest of us about carbon dioxide emissions, Charles’ private aircraft logged 16,000 miles, many of which were racked up by empty aircraft dispatched for his personal convenience. Others were for short trips that could have been easily traveled by rail or automobile.
