Just thought i would add this…. made me laugh….. as it was only the other day he cancelled his ski trip to the alpps to stop G/W

“”Prince Charles has sparked controversy by flying to America to pick up an environmental citizen of the year award.

Environment Secretary David Miliband said Charles should receive the prize via video-link rather than making a 7,000-mile round trip.””

My opinion on these sorts of things the media report is that the plane would have been going anyway and the amount of fuel required to transport the prince and camilla, in addition to the normal load, is genuinely not enough to kick off about especially if he normally travels by private jet!

Given he cancelled a ski holiday flight in order to take this trip, he has reduced his overall global warming contrabution as less fuel was used for just him! Im not saving i overly like the guy but unfair they target him like this.

How many hacks make pointless journeys to conventions or events across the world. I mean the BBC for their “Click” program (which i do like) sent three people to go to a Las Vegas Exposition. Given its a 20min program they could have covered all content with 1 person easily!
