I'm not a meteoroligist, but ...

I'm not a meteorologist, but I am a thinker. And, because of that, something about Prince Charles' recent catastrophic global warming pronouncement doesn't quite add up.

He said:

"We will end up seeing more drought and starvation on a grand scale. Weather patterns will become even more terrifying and there will be less and less rainfall. We are asking for something pretty dreadful unless we really understand the issues now and [the] urgency of them."

Now, see if you can follow along with me.

When the atmospheric temperature goes up, water evaporation increases proportionately. That evaporated water creates clouds. Those clouds produce rain. So, if the globe gets hotter, we should see more water evaporation and more clouds, thus, more rain.

But, it goes on from there.

More rain creates less droughts and more crops, not the other way around. And, more crops mean that we've got more plants absorbing more carbon dioxide and, thus, reduce the amount of that 'greenhouse gas' in the atmosphere, lowering temperatures back to where they were.

That would seem to be how the globe's built-in (some might even go so far as to say 'intelligently designed') thermostatic system works. And, it also seems to fit with what the 31,000+ scientists who'd signed the OISM petition seem to be saying.

As I said, I'm not a meteorolgist. As far as I know, neither is Prince Charles. So, I think after weighing all of the options, that I'm going to side with opinions of the 31,000+ scientists ...
