Prince Charles Warns of Human Extinction
In his first speech as the head of the Worldwide Wildlife Fund UK, Prince Charles warned of a mass human extinction if dramatic steps aren't taken to reduce the world's consumption of natural resources. According to an article in The Telegraph, the Prince of Wales said, somewhat jokingly, that he too was an endangered species.
The Telegraph reports that Prince Charles didn't mince words when describing the state of the environment and how the planet as we know it is entering a mass extinction that could only be matched but that of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
He also commented that the triple threat of climate change, rainforest destruction, and dwindling fish stocks make this a "crucial moment" for the organization and the movement.
High fives to the Prince for his stand. He is the butt of so many jokes but the guy is okay by me. From this speech to his organic garden he is leading the way. Wonder what Queen Mum thinks about climate change?
