Charlie boy has started flogging a detox product as part of his Duchy range of over-prices products.
Professor Edzard Ernst took umbridge at the Prince's decision to sell a detox product which, as anyone with half a brain knows, are based more on hope and superstition than science. Professor Ernst stated that he felt the heir to the throne was exploiting a gullible public for financial gain. He stopped short of calling him a crook though it was pretty much implied.
A few days later, Charlie Windsor was quoted speaking in Brazil about climate change. Let's ignore the hypocrisy of the carbon footprint from him, and his oh so essential entourage, flying to South America, to discuss climate change and look at his words:
"If we once more redouble our efforts to unite the world in meeting perhaps its greatest and most crucial challenge, then we may yet be able to prevail. And thereby to avoid bequeathing a poisoned chalice to our children and grandchildren we only have 100 months to act."
Loosely, his speech was based in fact, derived from science, with the addition of some pointless scaremongering, but, on the whole, he is using science for a positive purpose. And the science he is using is accurate.
So why does Charlie Windsor listen to scientific evidence on one issue but totally ignore it on another?
Why be scientific about climate change but a quack when it comes to his detox product and other alternative medicine nonsense?
Is it that he picks and chooses to suit his own prejudice? Yes, probably. Might it be that he is too stupid to know science from quackery? Yes, after all, his university place was, like his future role, more to do with his mother's reproductive system than any skill or knowledge or wisdom.
I hope someone sues Mr. Windsor for his fraudulent products. Yes, they would be showing their own stupidity for having bought it in the first place but, hopefully, it might stop this con artist and bring about a public debate about the role of this manipulative parasite on society.
