Prince Charles burns 162 tons of carbon to meet Greta





I've done climate change hypocrisy before. 

However, this time I have a nice graphic to go along with it and also some quantification.

The first image shows Prince Charles meeting Greta at Davos a few days ago. Subsequent to this, Prince Charles spoke at Davos about Climate Change and how important it was, how we must address it with urgency, etc.

The Daily Mail put together a nice itinerary of the private flights Charles took in the days before and after the Davos meeting with Greta (second image - click to enlarge). 

They (the Daily Mail) summed up the carbon footprint as similar to 18 times the per capita yearly carbon footprint in Britain.

The image of Charles and Greta is from the BBC 

The chart and narrative explanation is from here.
