I'm John Batson with my friend and colleague Gregory Copley, Defense and Foreign Affairs.

Gregory recently, Bill Gates, the billionaire, the philanthropist, made a statement that got the attention of everybody in the green movement.

That is that he is assuring us apocalyptic environmentalism is a fantasy and not a fact,

and that we're not all going to die with purple oceans of poison,

and that we've gone a little bit too far in our preparation for the end of the world.

The Prince Charles, and now King Charles, has made remarks over the years that suggest he's on

the green side of the argument.

Is there a reason for him to also correct the statement that we're not all going to die?

Did he go that far?

I'm unfamiliar.

No, he didn't go that far.

He was very much an environmentalist, more than a climate change advocate, although he did

attend the climate change conferences and so on when he was Prince of Wales.

He's not made any comments about that situation since becoming king,

and he said that he would not make any of such political statements.

So it's unlikely that he will step back from any statements

because that would get him back into the political spectrum,

which he could do as Prince of Wales, which he can't do as king.

I think he is grounded far more in realism than most, and he certainly does not support the climate

change agenda as it's postulated by the Labour Party in the United Kingdom or by the Green

movement.

He's far more, if you like, literally about environmental conservation rather than thinking
