Very interesting.

I would be curious to know more about his previous convictions, and whether or not (and if so, how) they influenced sentencing by the judge, and the decision by the GMC to suspend him for 12 months.

I hope he took advice from his medical defence union or similar before this particular act.

I can think of many, many ways he could potentially act that would be wildly more sustainable (forgive my use of the word; I mean merely that they might avoid his being imprisoned), and fantastically more damaging to oil extraction, than his chosen course of action. I lament that no one provided him with more constructive discussion before he embarked on these particular acts.

Guess who did know… Did you guess Obama? Did you guess Biden?

“The plan, apparently backed by the Biden administration and involving US oil giant Chevron would in effect seal Palestinian energy dependence on Israel.

The US approach is consistent with a strategic framework described in a December 2014 report published under the Obama administration by the US Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute.”

The Doublespeak of Energy Secretary Chris Wright

In his confirmation hearing, the Liberty Energy founder pledged broad support for renewable energy. But when speaking to conservatives, he declared, “We don’t have replacements” for coal, oil and gas.

More from ProPublica

“Russia is the world’s second-largest crude oil exporter behind Saudi Arabia. The late U.S. senator John McCain once called Russia “a gas station masquerading as a country.” The strength of the Kremlin, going back to the Soviet period, has always relied on the global price of oil, its principal source of hard currency.”

“Interior to open millions of acres in #Alaska to drilling and mining
Trump officials said that they would open up areas of Alaska that Joe Biden had put off limits to #oil and gas production, and allow for a gas pipeline to be built across the state.”

Scientists: we need to cut CO2 emissions to mitigate climate catastrophy

Oil companies: let's drill every last drop!

Car manufacturers: let's make bigger and heavier cars!

Tech companies: Let's release a technology (AI) very demanding in water and energy (we'll figure its use later)!

Politicians: what climate catastrophy?

Governments: let's ramp up arm production and go to war!

Populations everywhere: :blobfacepalm:
