1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: My next guest is Australia's wealthiest man, executive chairman of Fortescue, 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: one of the world's largest iron ore producers, also a 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: real believer in renewables. Well Andrew Forrest to welcome to Bloomberg. 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to actually get your thoughts on 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: many things, not in the climate change, but commodities in China. 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: If we start with China, how do you see china 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: demand for commodities going. They keep on disappointing in terms 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: of economics, but we see stimulus at the margins from authorities. 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: I think the stimulus will continue front scene because the 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 3: Chinese government is facing into really serious headwinds. They have 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 3: excellent climate scientists that we know the more personally we 13 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 3: work with them. Personally, they are predicting like we are, 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: that the world is in global warming now and that 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 3: everyone must move, that their own government must take solid steps, 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: really measurable fiscal steps to keep their economy going. Because 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 3: the negativity on the climate is happening hard to the 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: Chinese economy. I think they can recover and I think 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 3: they'll go through well. The rest of the world though, 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: Frans saying, where our directors, our policy makers aren't acknowledging 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 3: the same immediate and actual threat to our economy from 22 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: climate change. 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: They're the ones who could be in trouble. 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 4: But andrew what exactly is going on. 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know whether there's a change of hearts 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: on climate change policies because we're also seeing Saudi Arabia 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: promising to mine more. 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: I think the. 29 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: UK is about to announce one hundred more licenses according 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: to the BBC for rigs in the North Sea. Do 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: you see a sea change in all economies about energy 32 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: security and therefore o use of fossil fuel and mining. 33 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: I think we've got policy makers and executive chairman's chief 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: executives all of the world in this kind of time 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: walk this self interest, willful ignorance of what is happening 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: around them in the climate. Anyone can know that if 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: your ocean's are warming and it's ninety nine percent odd 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: of the world's livable space, and those oceans warming and 40 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: the land is just the whip on the end of 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: the tail, then if you're not taking notice of that, 42 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: then you shouldn't be a director, and you should be 43 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 3: holding your executives to account and not informing you that 44 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: you're going into sudden and massive change, and if you're 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 3: keeping on going as though you're not in global warming. 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: Then you're in dereliction of duty as a director. 47 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: No matter if your insurance company, crudential funds, management, huge 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: oiler gas company, and most importantly banks, banks keep funding 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: fossil fuel when they're hearing now from people like me. Look, 50 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: I'm just another scientist, but I'm also an industrial with 51 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm warning people, this freight train is coming at you. 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: Change policy quick. 53 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: But we seem to see reversal on that. Right. 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Even asset managers that wanted to push more ESG now 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: have some of the big oil chairmen on their boards. 56 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: We're seeing bangs being much more careful about ESG because 57 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: of a backlash. 58 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think we all have to be really 59 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 3: careful now. I mean people are saying, well, I don't 60 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: really want to change because I'm getting such great revenues 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 3: out of oil and gas. I don't really want to 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: change because if I grant more license to oil and 63 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: gas explorers, I might get more tax revenue. Actually, they're 64 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: ignoring the elephant in their room, and that is the 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: fact that the climate is now brought hard into the picture. 66 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: And policies must change. When human lives are going to 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: get destroyed in scale because of your actions, then you 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: will be held accountable and you will not be able 69 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: to say, well, the economics I've had is a bit old, 70 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: three to five years old. They're saying, if I get 71 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: one and a half to five percent global warming, the economy. 72 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: Will still be in good shape. 73 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 3: That's like saying the global financial crisis never existed. 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: Andrew, we over promise to transition. That's actually much harder 75 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to deliver in the timeline that we set out because 76 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: we don't have enough copper, because we don't have enough 77 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: of these components that are so necessary for renewables. 78 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: The front scene, I know you're passing on remarks you've 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: been given, and I'm sure that's not your belief, but 80 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: that is complete and utter rubbish. That is people like 81 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: me saying, you know, I just want to get back 82 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: in my Bentley, I want to drive down of my 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 3: smart house on the coast, and I just want to 84 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: pretend all this doesn't. 85 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: Exist, actually does exist. 86 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: You now have an absolute responsibility to not blame. Oh, 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 3: there's not enough copper in the world. There's not enough 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: with him, you know, there's not enough electricity. 89 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: There is there, absolutely is in action. 90 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: The lack of resource is chief executive and political will. 91 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 3: The only lack of resource the world has right now 92 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: to save it, which is preventing it from being saved, 93 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: is the will of chief executives and politicians. Everything else 94 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: is there. And to blame commodities, to blame electricity, that's rubbish. 95 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 3: We're just not moving. 96 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: So you think that it's basically politicians not having the 97 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: teeth to go against it because they're. 98 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: Worried of not being re elected. 99 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Like, it's difficult for me to pinpoint what exactly is 100 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: going on, given we've also managed to stay away from 101 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: Russian gas and oil pretty successfully. 102 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me help. 103 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: When you operate within a five year timeframe of an 104 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 3: election cycle or a bonus package in chief executives or 105 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: executive chamans, then you're operating to that five year cycle cycle. 106 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: And if you do not have the character of a 107 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 2: leader now, then that will drive you. Now, you shouldn't 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,559 Speaker 2: be there. You're actually a fraud. 109 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: If that's how you operate, you know, just on an 110 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: election cycle or just on a five year bonus package, 111 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: then you're not actually a leader. 112 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: Now. 113 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: People are entitled to assume if you're their chief executive, 114 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: there investing their hard earned retirement savings in you as 115 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: a chief executive, which or in you as an elected representative, 116 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: and they realize that you're not actually leading, you're operating 117 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 3: to a self interest cycle. In the impending crisis we have. 118 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: You know, it's okay. 119 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 3: Look, when you're not going in a war, you can 120 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: all be slack, fat and happy, Francine. But we're going 121 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: into war and we need now proper leaders. We can't 122 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: have people who are sitting in chairs in boardrooms and 123 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: cabinets who are frauds. 124 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: We need proper leaders. 125 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: So who's a proper leader right now in terms of 126 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: prime Minister or president? Does the Inflation Reduction Act go 127 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: far enough? 128 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: Yes? 129 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: So any leader who acknowledges I'm living now in global warming, 130 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: I must take immediate and proper steps. All the science 131 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: have been given, particularly with prudential authorities, with insurance companies, 132 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 3: with big oil and gas companies, with bank companies, All 133 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: that science have been given is wrong. The climate has 134 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: proven you wrong. Now you must take those facts into 135 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: account immediately and change your policies. It is not up 136 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: to the consumers to not consume energy. It's not up 137 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: to consumers not to fly to the other side of 138 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: the world to see grandmother. It's up to the energy companies, 139 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: the metal companies, and the politicians to change the energy 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: and the materials we give to consumers that doesn't wreck 141 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: the planet. 142 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: Have you seen a change in citizens that they were 143 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: behind some of these policies maybe twelve eighteen months ago, 144 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: now focus on other things, or do you see the 145 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: same results. 146 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: No, Look, I think I think we're a few weeks 147 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: and unfortunately this has happened so quickly, Francine. So that 148 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: momentum you're talking about, that negative momentum against doing much 149 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: about climate change, that's months old. What's happened in the 150 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: last few weeks is happened at such terrifying speed to 151 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: the scientific world of the collapse in ocean ice. Now 152 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: with claps and ocean ice. Of course, if you just 153 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: take a glass of water from one glass and fill 154 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: up already full glass, it's going to overflow. That's what's 155 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: going to happen in the ocean. You'll get a rising ocean. 156 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: The fact that there's huge Antarctic belts which hold the 157 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: sea levels to where they are and now letting their 158 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: ice go your steps away from inundation. 159 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: These steps are happening. 160 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: The fact the North Atlantic has warm to not small records, 161 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: but massive records of temperature, driving huge changes in ocean currents, 162 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: which is then the temperature of the world. 163 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Frans, No, what does. 164 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 4: That mean for your investment strategy? 165 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: So the toys here in the UK look like they're 166 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: wavering on their net zero policy.
