King Charles III starts 'climate clock' countdown to 2030 after repeatedly changing timetable

King Charles III helped activate a "Climate Clock" at a London forum on Wednesday, counting down the time until 2030, the alleged time allotted to avoid the worst effects of climate change, despite the UK King offering several different timetables in years past.

The Climate Clock countdown began at the Climate Innovation Forum during London's 2023 Climate Action Week. Founder and CEO of Climate Action, Nick Henry, said it serves as a "visual reminder of the urgency of the climate crisis," according to Fox News.

"TIME IS RUNNING OUT" and "ACT TODAY SAVE TOMORROW" were just a few of the interchanging slogans on the jumbotron that displayed the Climate Clock. The button to activate the clock was pressed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan while accompanying King Charles III on stage at the event.

The countdown started at 6 years and 24 days, according to Fox News. That is what the activists behind this project claim as the deadline to stop the Earth from heating more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, which is the guideline according to the Paris Climate Agreement.

But this is far from the first timetable offered by climate alarmists, including  King Charles himself.

In 2019, the then Prince of Whales stated he was "firmly of the view that the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels and to restore nature to the equilibrium we need for our survival." Four years prior, he claimed the globe had "35 years to save the planet," according to Climate Depot's Marc Morano.

Charles also dubbed 2015 a "vital year for the future of humanity." 

A spokesperson for Climate Action remarked that the 2023 Climate Clock "tells us what to do and by when" in order to "limit the worst climate impacts."

Climate Depot also reported that, in 2009, Prince Charles gave 7 years until we "lose the levers of control.” By 2010, he appeared to have tacked on an extra year, claiming 86 months before a "tipping point" is reached environmentally.

King Charles III is far from the only green advocate to make such predictions. In 2018, Greta Thunberg cited a "top climate scientist" who said humanity will go extinct "unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years." 

The public policy think tank American Enterprise Institute has a list of 50 failed predictions of environmental and climate disaster stemming all the way back to 1969.

Thunberg has since deleted the tweet.
