Prince Charles addresses past ‘push back’ over past climate change conversations: report

Charles, Prince of Wales is the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. 72 years old recently spot light on the entirety of the past “push back” he got. He tended to the developing issues surrounding environmental change [climate] when “no one truly needed to know.”

In his recent Interviewed with BBC Radio 4’s Margaret Atwood “he was cited, “I needed to confront a lot of opposition, if I may say so. No one truly needed to know at that point. I think they thought I was totally dotty.”

“The difficulty is that, as human being, we will in general move diverted by new technologies of convenience. I don’t think the results are maybe considered.”

“I don’t think the results and the collateral blow-back of these introduction are always maybe pondered. For example, you just need to consider the introduction of nanofibres and nanoparticles into the climate without, I felt at that point, sufficient result.”

That’s led now to all these microplastics in the oceans and elsewhere, and the environment. I remember at the time reading about these new technologies. The key issue, I feel, is always to find a balance in this. You need to look at what these technologies are going to do in the long-term.”

He concluded by saying, “Suddenly people are realising the real crisis and real emergency we now face. So with the Sustainable Markets Initiative, I’m suddenly finding more and more people interested and engaging.”
