Here's a link to a BBC article talking about an interview he did for them:
"The halting of logging in the world's rainforests is the single greatest solution to climate change, Prince Charles has said. He called for a mechanism to be devised to pay poor countries to prevent them felling their rainforests. The prince told the BBC that the forests provided the earth's "air conditioning system". He said it was "crazy" the rainforests were worth more "dead than alive" to some of the world's poorest people." Full article here, along with the audio version of the interview: BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Charles urges forest logging halt

And on this point, I couldn't agree more. If his calculations are right, and I have no reasons to believe otherwise, then the matter does have "wartime urgency". |

This IMO, is a great way to bring awareness to young children. They after all, have got to try to live with the terrible damage we have done to the environment.
