This man, the stupidest oil baron alive, said the one of the stupidest things ever said by any human being alive:
"Harold Hamm, who describes himself as a nature lover, is often at odds with environmentalists, both for his line of business and for his outspoken opposition to anti-fracking and carbon emissions campaigns.
In 2013, Hamm told NBC News: Some of the extremists are calling it carbon pollution. I mean, all of us breathe out carbon dioxide. Are we going to quit breathing?"

Get it? American Fracking King Harold Hamm says we all breathe out this gas, so how we gonna ever stop destroying the planet, so...something, something, something....on national TV news....and no one on aire laughed!

In late 2014 (remember 2014?), oil tycoon Harold Hamm called a divorce settlement that awarded his ex-wife about $1 billion equitable and fair. But his tune changed in a matter of weeks, Reuters reported, as the price of oil and the sum of his fortunes fell dramatically.
Now, Hamm will challenge that settlement in Oklahomas Supreme Court, arguing that his ex-wife is getting a substantially larger portion of his fortune than what he agreed was fair.
For her part, Hamms ex-wife, Sue Ann Arnall, is also appealing the settlement, arguing that the courts awarded Hamm too much of the fortune amassed during their marriage. The states high court will hear both appeals.
