A mining magnate and climate campaigner at the same time?

It’s possible; while shifting off fossil fuels cuts the overall need for mining sharply, it does still involve the use of rare earths, lithium, copper, and other metals
Plus, people still need everything from kitchenware to trains in a net zero society, which means more metal. While it can be recycled, we need a lot more to get to a point where everyone has the same standerd of living, even before mentioning stone, gravel, clay, etc. Outside of coal and oil producing ingredients like cobalt, i’d imagine that overall mining demand would be rather steady even if a lot of carbon neutral technologies didn’t require more metal inputs.
No, because coal, oil, and gas extraction are also mining activities. And those get used only once, whereas metals an such get used again and again and again. So there’s a huge cut in total mining.
Coal yes, but typically oil and gas are the drilling in “drilling and mining sector”.
Also seems to be owning lots of animal farms, but somehow he doesnt care how that might impact the climate
Can we put his head right next to the others?
Yes please
