Prince Charles seemed genuinely stunned when he was told of a recent move by the Prime Minister. He responded with a warning.
Prince Charles has warned world leaders – including Scott Morrison – that the Glasgow COP26 summit is a “last chance saloon” for climate change action expressing surprise that the Australian Prime Minister may not even turn up.
Speaking in the gardens of his house on the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, Prince Charles has told the BBC that the world is facing a “disaster” and a “catastrophe”.
Prince Charles appeared genuinely taken aback at reports that the Australian Prime Minister might be a no show at the Glasgow climate change conference.
“Scott Morrison, the Australian PM, isn’t even certain that he could make it to the meeting in Glasgow,’’ the BBC interviewer says during the interview.
“I, is that what he says does he? Mmm,’’ Prince Charles responds. He then goes on to explain why he’s fought so hard to encourage world leaders to attend.
“The point being that this is a last chance saloon. If we don’t really take the decisions that are vital now, it’s going to be almost impossible to catch up,’’ he said.
“It will be a disaster. I mean it will be catastrophic. It is already beginning to be catastrophic because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather.”
