Prince, excuse me “King” Charles is not exactly an easy person to like. Even if one ignores his turbulent personal life, he is another one of those ill-informed climate change alarmists demanding action that cannot possibly work to protect from a hazard that does not actually exist. For the record, I do not know if the earth is getting warmer or colder. I suspect it is getting warmer, slowly, primarily because it has been getting warmer, slowly, since the 1600s. But the hysteria about the earth getting too hot to sustain human life is absurd.

The following chart from the Environmental Protection Agency is a classic example of how this is distorted.

Climate Change Indicators: Heat-Related Deaths | US EPA

This represents the number of deaths, from heat, per million people. The highest year was in 1980 when it was 3. The most recent year, 2020, it was a little over 1.5. This makes one wonder what happens if it gets cold? The following article from the New York Post answers that question:

More die of cold: Media’s heat-death climate obsession leads to lousy fixes (nypost.com)

It turns out in the U.S. and Canada about 2,500 people die from heat each year. But more than 100,000 die from cold. That means you are 40 times more likely to die from being too cold then being too hot. Now if people like King George and Gavin Newsom have their way, this could change. If we screw up the power grid by blocking coal, gas, or nuclear-powered generators, and we increase demand by adding all those electric cars, more people will die from heat, mostly because they won’t have access to air conditioning. Even more people will die from cold, because of the lack of heat. This exposes an inconvenient truth that we have almost nothing to fear from a warming climate, even if that is happening, but we have a lot to fear from politicians trying to fix something they cannot possibly fix, if it exists, while simultaneously reducing the amount of energy needed to handle that change. This should be beyond obvious, and it is, beyond being obvious to those who follow the science primarily by ignoring the biased group think that pretends to be science. King Charles, who actually has a gift for being wrong on nearly every issue, is one of the leaders of the “Let’s be stupid” pact.

But he is fortunate indeed to have a daughter-in-law the caliber of Meghan Markle. She not only hates Charles, but she also appears to be working overtime to make sure her husband, “Prince” Harry hates him too. We should all be so fortunate as to have an enemy the caliber of Meghan Markle. Incredibly she makes Charles look good in comparison.

If I were living in England and I saw Charles, wearing his silly medals, pronounce himself my King, the likely response would either be to throw up or laugh so hard it hurts. Then if I realized that I was paying for this nonsense I would find this less than amusing. I am not even sure the British monarchy can even survive the “King Charles” era, but if there is one person who can generate genuine sympathy for the Royal Family, even including “King Charles”, it is Meghan Markle. She has the magic touch.
