Prince equates climate fight to war

[cedric]

Prince Charles has described the fight against global climate change as a war, with the Doomsday Clock "ticking ever closer to midnight".

n a speech to the European Parliament, he called for a solution to the loss of the world's tropical forests, to make them worth more alive than dead.

He said the crisis required the biggest public-private partnership ever seen.

The prince praised the European Commission's recent proposals to reduce greenhouse gases by 20% by 2020.

1. while I'm happy to see he's concerned with climate change, comparing it to a war is no good

we've got to stop doing that. The word has lost all meaning because of 'wars' on abstractions.
