Queen don’t look for themselves, to the effects of climate change, “the great disasters”, she says to Politiken.
We should as a society not “panikke” over climate change.
so says the queen of denmark Margrethe in an interview in Politiken on Saturday, where she among other things, relate to the climate debate.
– It is certainly very essential and important to be aware of. But anyway … that panikke is a very poor way to address the problems. It does not go. It should not be, says the queen.
Even is Margrethe II is not among those who see “the great disasters” in front of him. It tells the queen in the interview, which is made on the occasion of her upcoming 80th birthday.
She explains that her attitude was based on the fact that she lives through an interest in history and, not least, history.
– Then you have some pretty long perspectives. And so you know that things are changing. You also know that the climate has changed and is changing all the time, she says to Politiken.
Asked whether the queen is on the science side, when science is talking about, that climate change is man-made, she replies:
– Well, to people plays a role in climate change, there is probably no doubt about that. But whether they are created directly, I am not quite convinced.
the Queen also spoke about climate change in his recent new year’s speech, when she commented on how vulnerable the planet is.
– we are learning to realize, and it may well worry, not least many young people, who see climate change makes itself clearly felt in these years. We have a shared commitment to our beautiful planet, so teeming with life. It is a major challenge for us all today, and it is all about, that we all are aware of how we live and what we do, sounded the new year’s eve from the monarch.
Her new announcement is “interesting”, believes historian and kongehusekspert Lars Hovbakke Sørensen.
He predicts that it will write itself into the history of quotes from the governor, which posterity will remember.
– It is a different approach than most in the moment expression for, says the historian.
He points out that the queen with the comment goes in and touches one of this era’s most current political debates.
– But she is not party political, she is almost disagree with all of the political parties on this point, says Lars Hovbakke Sørensen.
Klimaprofessor Sebastian Mernild, who is the director of the research organisation the Nansen Center in Bergen, hills the queen up in that there have been great variations in the climate in historical terms.
– But she needs to look at what there is to reason, he says to Politiken.
– People is a major cause of the changes we are facing now. It is no doubt, he strikes fast.
