Popular Post webfact Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 Prince Harry suggests COVID is rebuke from nature video screenshot LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry has suggested that the coronavirus pandemic is a rebuke from nature as he called for more action to tackle climate change. The prince spoke during a conversation about the environment with the chief executive of a streaming platform for climate documentaries. "Somebody said to me at the beginning of the pandemic, it's almost as though Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms for bad behaviour, to really take a moment and think about what we've done," Harry said. "It's certainly reminded me about how interconnected we all are, not just as people but through nature. We take so much from her and we rarely give a lot back." 2020-12-03T015338Z_1_LOV000MDZ6JQN_RTRMADV_STREAM-2000-16X9-MP4_BRITAIN-ROYALS-HARRY-CLIMATE-ROUGH-CUT.MP4 Britain's Prince Harry has suggested that the coronavirus pandemic is a rebuke from nature as he called for more action to tackle climate change. Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have spoken out on issues such as race and the environment since stepping down from their roles as working members of the royal family at the end of March and moving to California. The prince, who has been criticised in the past for his use of private jets, urged people to imagine being a raindrop in order to help repair the Earth. "Every single raindrop that falls from the sky relieves the parched ground," he said. "What if every one of us was a raindrop? If every single one of us cared? We do, because we have to, because at the end of the day nature is our life source." Since the start of the pandemic, scientists have stepped up warnings that deforestation, ecosystem destruction and illegal trade in wildlife can increase the risk of disease transmission from animals to people, and have urged tighter controls.

Popular Post JonnyF Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 Think about what WE'VE done???? ???? Speak for yourself. I don't fly around the world in a private jet, have 2 people and a baby living in a 15 bedroom mansion and drive myself and security around in a fleet of V8 Range Rovers. Think about what YOU'VE done Harry. Your lifestyle ruins the environment, not mine. It's a toss up between him and Lewis Hamilton who is the biggest hypocrite. Actually I'd use a different word for the pair of them (beginning with C but not "Characters") but I'd be banned. 24 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natai Beach Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Rebuke from nature. Inbreeding? His dad had covid and his brother. The Brits in general do seem to have a very weak immunity and seem to catch it and die from it very easily. So maybe he is right. There must be a reason.

Poor Royal Harry has led a difficult life…burdened with posing for endless photographs and wasting hundreds of millions of other people’s money on frivolous nonsense. No easy task….but he’s done a splendid job. And now Ms. Markle’s virtuous commitment to social justice is presenting him with additional challenges. To further the cause, he has moved into in a plebian 14.7 million dollar home…with only sixteen bathrooms! Hard to believe one man can withstand such horrific privation….and yet still find time to preach his holy gospel to the world. His unwavering commitment to pompous, pretentious, hypocrisy is clear….and he’s developed into a first=rate media junkie and an exceptional attention whore. 6 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdog Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It may be a "natural response" but more due to overpopulation, density, etc. Nature takes care of that often with disease that spreads like wildfire through overpopulated populations that endanger ecosystem.

Bet he didn't complain about the gas guzzling helis he flew and the jets, tanks and APC,s damaging the environment and polluting the air. What chance has poor, sorry I meant very rich, little Archie got having a normal life being brought up by these 2 gabbling idiots who think they are the centre of the universe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this tilt changes during a cycle , The tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Because this tilt changes, the seasons as we know them become exaggerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proboscis Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It is interesting to see that while many of the posters here are quick to question Harry's intellect and a few other features of this not quite royal anymore (sorry but I am not British and have not been keeping up with such status changes as it really does not interest me. However, no one actually says what is wrong with what he is saying. What is wrong is that Harry is making an ontological mistake. He treats nature as if it is an entity that is capable of rebuking, as if it is an actual being that is capable of emotions that could give rise to a rebuke. The truth is, of course, that nature does not harbour emotions and is incapable of giving a rebuke or being <deleted> off with humans or any such behaviour. But he did say that it is "as if" nature is rebuking us. Again, the question here is whether this is helpful in any way. I am not saying that metaphors are not useful but they are useless when they convey the wrong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I take issue with the first point you make. "It's not the light they want,..." Hogwash. I don't think they give a damn for bad publicity as long as it keeps them in the news. As an American of largely British descent, and a life-long anglophile, I see this situation as a new low for British Royalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
