Prince Charles, who has become known for making ridiculous and inflammatory statements, is now claiming that he is, in fact, an endangered species. Actually, according to him, we all are.
Charles made these claims in a speech introducing his appointment to the position of President of the World Wild Life Fund for Nature, a position his father Prince Philip has also held in the past. Charles went so far as to say that humanity was now facing a “sixth great extinction event – the continued erosion of much of the Earth’s vital biodiversity caused by a whole host of pressure, from the rising demand for land to the corrosive effects of all kinds of pollution.”
He went on to say that “without the biodiversity that is so threatened, we won’t be able to survive ourselves.”
Essentially, the prince blames the impending extinction of mankind on Climate Change, mass production, high living standards, and the demand for land. His claims, however, while holding a small modicum of truth, are quite deceptive in the way they are presented to the general public.
Indeed, no one can deny that there is at least some truth to what the genetic royal is saying. The Earth is no doubt losing much of its biodiversity as many aspects of the environment are being destroyed by a variety of means. Whether it is over-logging, destructive manufacturing processes, genetic modification, or the dumping of pollutants into the environment, there is absolutely no doubt that we are destroying the planet. The complete denial that human activity affects animal and other environmental life is almost as dangerous as the Gaia worship being peddled by the mainstream media and Eco-Fascists.
