The Prince of Wales has criticised climate change deniers, labelling them the 'headless chicken brigade' during an awards ceremony recognising a leading young green entrepreneur.
The international competition developed in partnership with Unilever and the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership (CPSL), which has Charles as patron, was designed to find the next generation of sustainable-living entrepreneurs.
Charles, who has campaigned for years to reduce global warming, also spoke out against 'the barrage of sheer intimidation.' from powerful anti-climate change groups during the event held at Buckingham Palace.
He presented Gamal Albinsaid with the inaugural Prince of Wales Young Sustainability Entrepreneur Prize, designed to inspire young people around the world to tackle environmental, social and health issues.
In a speech to announce the winner, Charles told the audience: "It is baffling, I must say, that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything - until, that is, it comes to climate science.
"All of a sudden, and with a barrage of sheer intimidation, we are told by powerful groups of deniers that the scientists are wrong and we must abandon our faith in so much overwhelming scientific evidence.
"So, thank goodness for our young entrepreneurs here this evening, who have the far-sightedness and confidence in what they know is happening to ignore the headless chicken brigade and do something practical to help."
