Prince Charles states the obvious.
"Mankind is on the brink of 'committing suicide on a grand scale' unless rapid progress is made on green issues, the Prince of Wales warned today.
"In very strong language, Prince Charles claimed the planet was doomed to an 'unimaginable future' if the problems in carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere, intensive farming using pesticides, and the depletion of natural resources were not addressed."
Charles had a special word for the like of Canada's political leadership, criticizing those who, "cling to the disintegrating raft of 'business as usual'."
