Guy Pearse

Guy Pearse

Guy Pearse is an Australian author, environmentalist and former Liberal Party of Australia whistleblower. He recently wrote a controversial book called "High & Dry: John Howard, climate change and the selling of Australia's future". 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 also worked on the advance staff of then US Vice President Al Gore. Pearse's doctoral research at the Australian National University helped expose the influence of the carbon lobby on the Howard government. It was the basis for the "Greenhouse Mafia" episode of ABC's "Four Corners" in February 2006.
