So a billionaire mining magnate, all-you-can-eat buffet magnet and up-and-coming "politician" (see also: mining magnate) has told the media he will soon make an announcement to restore hope to humanity. Knowing the guy, I immediately thought of three possible outcomes that would restore hope to humanity. 1. He's going to kill himself. 2. He's going to step down from politics. 3. He's going to join a weight-loss regime. And then I realized just how nasty I am. Edit: Actually, it just turns out that he won't support the repeal of existing carbon pricing unless the government agrees to a list of somewhat excessive conditions. Even then, it sounds like he wants the pricing to be altered instead of scrapped outright. He'll also vote against the abolition of a renewable energy organization. Hell, he even has Al Gore onboard. Hardly ideal, I'd say, but a lot more than I expected from him. Hats off for that.
I'm still alive. Just nobody ever talks to me. Ever Clive Palmer? Haven't been following him but that sounds really out of character. Last I heard he was recreating the titanic so...
Yes, the very same. Apparently he spoke to some experts on climate change, and he's decided that it's something that should be managed. But I'm not complaining. I must admit, I was starting to get worried about the guy long before the Titanic thing. The robotic dinosaurs were enough to raise an eyebrow.
Never heard of the man, but he's a total whackjob from what you're telling me. I mean, who'd rebuild a giant ship and then sink it with another Iceberg?
To be fair, I don't think he was going to ram it into anything. Certainly nothing as big as an iceberg...unless he stands in front of it while it's moving. To be fair, they're just a side-attraction to spice up his golf course. Edit: Oh goody, his demands were met, and he'll vote to abolish climate pricing. But since he's still going to block attempts to disband those renewable energy / climate management organizations, I won't be setting up on the grassy knoll just yet.
