Biography

Guy Pearse worked for various Liberal politicians, as a lobbyist for numerous industries, and as a consultant to the Australian Greenhouse Office. He was speechwriter for Australian Prime Minister John Howard's first environment minister, Robert Hill. While studying at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in the mid 1990s, Pearse worked on the advance staff of then US Vice President Al Gore.

Pearse's doctoral research at the Australian National University[1] focussed on the influence of the carbon lobby on the Howard government. This thesis became the basis for the "Greenhouse Mafia" episode of ABC's Four Corners in February 2006.

gollark: Squid had a recipe dumper thingy of some sort so I got rid of it. Given the amount of random projects I wanted code from after getting rid of them previously (at least two!) should probably not do that.
gollark: Possibly.
gollark: All hail parser combinators!
gollark: CraftTweaker actually can dump all recipes as ZenScript or something, and I wrote a parser, but I got rid of it because squid had an alternative of some sort.
