Prince Harry suggests COVID is rebuke from nature

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."

 

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.

Every family has one;

The Trotters had Rodney,

What a plonker!

Harry time for you to shut up, coming out with c++p like that, just proves that you and Megan will do/say anything just to keep yourselves in the spot light.

Sometimes some people should realize that silence is gold.

At least I can agree with half of the first sentence of the OP.

His (alleged) old man probably passed the message on from the plants he last had a conversation with.

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.

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.

Harry the hostage has had his mind well and truly fxxxxx by Meghan the manipulator. They should both disapear off into obscurity for the privacy they craved so much (well they did until Netflix came along and gave them a <deleted> ton of cash).

No, he didn’t. Do people actually read an article before they reply? Someone else said to him that it’s almost as though nature is rebuking. 

"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."

 

Nice 6 litre Cadillac Escalade Harry, the environmentally friendly choice of Woke hypocrites everywhere ????

 

Chip off the old block. This surely removes any doubt that Charles really IS Harry's father ....

Another 'gotta keep the profile" now we are not on the paroll stunt.

Some people born with good looks others with brains, this guy has non of the above, i wonder whether he got the wife permission to speak...

Come on people….where’s the love?

 

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.

 

 

 

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. There are too many people too crowded together on the planet

Nature rebukes Harry: "Nope, wasn't me. It happened because mankind is mostly idiots."

I wonder if he talked <deleted> like that when he was in the army ?  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.

climate change.

 

 

The Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun. 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

 

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.

I am suggesting he was horribly misquoted in the headline.

It's not the light that they want, but the large amounts of money form interviews etc.   Now that he is no longer a parasite living off the British tax-payers  he needs to get another source of income. Spewing out BS is what Royals have been trained to do - but need to add controversy to make the press interested.

Love your post.

   Concise and perceptive... especially the last line. Spot on.

   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.
