The Prince of hypocrites: Charles embarks on 16,000 mile ‘green’ crusade… aboard a private jet
“Prince Charles was accused of hypocrisy last night for using a private jet on an ‘environmental’ tour of South America. The prince will travel to the region next month in a visit costing an estimated £300,000 as part of his crusade against global warming. He will use a luxury airliner to transport himself, the Duchess of Cornwall and a 14-strong entourage to Chile, Brazil and Ecuador on a 16,400-mile round trip.”
The trip is expected to leave behind a 322-ton carbon footprint. Matt Lauer would be impressed!
With this trip, Prince Charles joins the Pantheon of other uber eco hypocrites
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger = ECO-HYPOCRITE
“We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. I’m convinced of that … because nothing is more important than protecting our planet.”
Well, except of course the thrill of driving the Mother of All HEMI’s with 425 horses and 420 pound-feet of torque!
Charles may be a Prince, but he’ll never be the KING OF ECO HYPOCRITES.
