No he didn't.
In the screenshotted "evidence" from 1993, Charles said global warming "is an issue which we have to address now".
Even a child can see he did NOT say "we have less than ten years to save the planet from global warming", as "Tony Heller" falsely asserts.

Here's Margaret Thatcher in 1989, one of the few senior right-wing free-market-supporting politicians to take the evidence of the link between fossil fuels & climate change seriously. It's ironic that think tanks in her name continue to downplay the risks.
So who the heller is Tony Heller?
He's a climate science denier who goes by the pseudonym Steven Goddard.
Far from being a climate science expert, he has a Masters in Electrical Engineering & a BS in Geology, & decades of experience in bullshitting.

Hitler, Franco, & Mussolini all headed coalitions of Nationalist Fascist & Conservative factions, & all subscribed to a far-right ideology which we may call National Conservatism, & which involves scapegoating minorities & the Left as threats to 'Western Civilisation'.

Should we be concerned that it was Britain's turn to host the National Conservatism conference aka #NatCon, aka the #NatC conference?
Unless you've been living under a rock you'll know that in May, the American hard Right came to England. Calvin Robinson did not speak at it.

Unlike in Hungary, where last year's gathering of Europe’s extreme-right figures was an offshoot of the Trump & Bolsonaro supporting US Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the NatCon conference here was backed by the Edmund Burke Foundation.
Tory MP Miriam Cates at the Nat C Rally - our low birth rate is because of "cultural Marxism"
Spoiler alert..
Our low birth rate is because of 13 years of Tory austerity and their cost of living crisis
The birth rate was increasing under Labour

This is a #THREAD about propaganda, right-wing populist nationalist Christian authoritarianism, @BBCr4today, Sebastian Kurz, your health records, the NatCon conference, & Libertarian billionaire, Peter Thiel. I know this sounds like the introduction to an Adam Curtis documentary.
Radio 4’s Today Programme has lost 800,000 listeners in the past year as they switched to podcasts & rival talk radio shows.
It has also had to deal with Rishi Sunak’s government cutting access to government ministers as part of a deliberate communication strategy.

An expert on right-wing authoritarianism, Ruth Wodak's February 2023 article, 'Analyzing the shift to the far-right: the Austrian case', is Open Access (free to read), & helps explain @BBCr4today's loss of listeners, & recent developments in #propaganda.

So, the #NationalConservative conference is over.
Is #NatC the far-right future? Or the death rattle of a party at war with itself?
Let's take a closer look at what the National Conservative movement says about itself.
WARNING: this thread could make you combust...

First, whatever's gone wrong with the UK, it's not the Conservatives' fault.
No, it's Liberals.
The last 13 years of Conservatism? You imagined that.
18 years of Thatcherism? You imagined that too.
UK media dominated by Conservatives? Meh.
Everything is the fault of LIBERALS.

And what does the LEFT do? It "deliberately tries to polarise".
The cheek of it.
Countless polarising headlines in the Express and Mail?
Didn't happen.
Countless polarising statements by Conservative hard-righters?
Nope.
Immigration, borders, Brexit? Liberal obsessions.

'Leftists have control of globalist corporations, are at war with the moral, intellectual & social foundations on which our entire civilisation rests, & want to end all democracy!' - Perfectly normal comedy genius, Heritage Foundation President, Kevin Roberts, #NatC conference.
#NatC speakers are so funny. 😬
Hilarious one-liner from Darren Grimes: "People just want fairness - fairness for the domestic population to be treated just as well as illegal entrants" (who cannot work, face deportation, & endure hatred, demonisation & scapegoating from Tory MPs & dimwit GB "News" presenters).

Global grifer Boris Johnson is in Seoul, with the right-wing "Nationalist-Conservative" People Power Party's Park Jin, CBE, South Korea's Minister of Foreign Affairs. 😬
Controlling the South Korean presidency, PPP is the second largest party in the National Assembly.

The People Power Party (PPP) can be seen as a "nationalist-conservative" party because it aims for cultural conservatism & Republic Of (Soth) Korea -centered nationalism, but puts anti-communism before Korean nationalism, which is more supported by liberals & left-wingers.

Some young right-wing PPP politicians, South Korea's largest conservative party, are based on the support of the Idaenam, & have been criticized by major South Korean media & some foreign media because they are showing strong anti-feminist tendencies. 🤔

As predicted, the President of the opaquely-funded & extremely influential ultra-right free-market US 'think tank' Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, has delivered arguably the most unhinged speech so far at the deeply disturbing National Conservatism #NatC conference.

Founded in 1973, the opaquely funded Heritage Foundation's stated mission is to formulate & promote policies based on the principles of "free enterprise, limited Govt, individual freedom, traditional American values, & a strong national defense."

It is widely considered one of the world's most influential public policy research institutes, maintaining strong ties with #Tuftonstreet's IEA, the Mont Pelerin Society (the organisation coining 'neoliberalism'), &, significantly, the UK Government.
