King Charles has admitted that he fears future generations may feel he did not do enough to protect planet.
In an interview with Steve Backshall for an upcoming documentary, the monarch has issued one of his strongest warnings yet. Charles expressed his deep frustration with climate change and continues dismissal of scientific evidence.
His majesty stated, "It seems very peculiar to me that in other areas, everybody takes what the scientists are saying as absolute vital truth, but in this case for some reason or other it is not so apparently simple. It can get very frustrating, to say the least," as quoted by Daily Star.
Adding, "Why is it taking so long? By which time it is almost too late to rectify. That’s my great worry about it. Because you get to a tipping point, which is what all the scientists have been talking about."
Despite his concerns, King Charles believes there is still time to reverse some of the damage.
"These things are rescuable. We have to believe that it is still possible. Because you have to have hope. But to provide that hope you have to take the action," the King stated.
King Charles, who is grandfather to Prince William and Prince Harry's kids admitted that his deepest worry is the legacy he leaves for his grandchildren.
"I mind, for what it’s worth, about the younger generations. To me it is not fair to leave them something in a far worse state than I found it. The whole point I have always felt is to improve it for people, so they don’t have a ghastly legacy of horror to have to deal with," the grandfather to George, Charlotte, Louise, Archie and Lilibet noted.
He went on to add, "That’s why I spent all these years, because I don’t want to be accused by my grandchildren of not doing anything about it. That is the key."
