Prince Charles made a sci-fi-inspired speech at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi this week. But swallow your cries of jet-setting hypocrisy: Instead of spewing planet-warming pollutants by flying to the Middle East, the Prince of Wales appeared as a life-size, 3-D hologram, and he used the occasion to call for urgent action against global warming. “Scientists are now saying that the problem of climate change is now so grave and so urgent that we have less than 10 years to slow, stop, and reverse greenhouse-gas emissions,” said the virtual prince. “Common actions are needed in every country to protect the common inheritance that has been given to us by our creator.”
