Murdoch media in Australia goes fully woke.
actually, half of Murdoch’s media has been “woke” for years, but now the other half are being compromised, and there are reporters - especially on Sky Australia - who don’t like it:
6 Sept: Sydney Morning Herald: Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers, 24-hour news channel to champion net zero emissions
By Zoe Samios and Rob Harris
News Corp Australia, an influential player in Australia’s decade-long climate wars, will end its long-standing editorial hostility towards carbon reduction policies and advocate for the world’s leading economies to hit net zero emissions by 2050.
The owner of some of the nation’s most-read newspapers, including the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Australian and 24-hour news channel Sky News Australia will from mid-October begin a company-wide campaign promoting the benefits of a carbon-neutral economy as world leaders prepare for a critical climate summit in Glasgow later this year.
Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire has faced growing international condemnation and pressure from advertisers over its editorial stance on climate change, which has long cast doubt over the science behind global warming and has since 2007 attacked various federal government efforts to reduce emissions...
A plan has been devised to limit – but not muzzle – dissenting voices among News Corp’s stable of conservative commentators, who will be expected to reframe their political arguments both in print and on its subscription news channel, which is now broadcast across regional Australia on free-to-air on WIN.
A spokesman for News Corp Australia declined to comment on Sunday...
The switch in editorial position will likely attract global attention, particularly in America, where Murdoch’s media outlets, such as Fox News, have also been accused by Republican politicians of undermining global efforts on climate change...
Both the British government and United States President Joe Biden’s administration have made direct pleas to Prime Minister Scott Morrison in recent weeks to commit to a net zero target by 2050 and consider increasing its 2030 target of reducing emissions by 26-28 per cent on 2005 levels...

It is no longer about reason; it is their religion. The smarter in their brood must be silently cringing at the virtue signaling and the hypocrisy. They are devouring their leftist governor, in religious fervor.
There is no balance of consumption of the earth’s resources and the absorption of carbon dioxide that will satisfy the equation of “carbon neutral”. Natural life processes and geological events, like volcanic eruptions, even in the absence of ANY human activity, generate about 99% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide at any given moment in time.
And yet, the air around us is not filled to excess of carbon dioxide. Where is it going?
A good deal of the carbon dioxide is in solution in the waters of the earth, forming a weak mineral acid, carbonic acid, which then attacks other mineral deposits, forming various metallic carbonates and bicarbonates, not the least of which is limestone, CaCO3, which makes up a lot of the bedrock in many parts of the earth’s surface.
A huge bulk of the carbon dioxide, however, is absorbed by green growing plant life, both aquatic and terrestrial. By the magic of sunlight and chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water are converted into various carbohydrate compounds and free molecular oxygen.
Now oxygen is probably one of the most corrosive elements in the universe, exceeded only by fluorine, and neither normally exists at all in the free state. The power to tear it apart from many of the compounds into which it is bound is awesome in its concept, and yet this is done almost effortlessly by these same growing green plants, luxuriating in the sunlight that pours down upon us freely during daytime.
The whole life cycle of the planet is based ENTIRELY on the capture of energy to strip the carbon dioxide molecule free of their oxygen atoms, and to reformulate into different combinations of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, with some nitrogen thrown in there to form amino acids, the building blocks of protein, the means by which locomotion is provided to the organisms which develop. There are a number of other lesser elements also involved, but that is a whole field of study in itself, but all still based on the conversion of carbon dioxide into organic carbon-bearing molecules and creating the availability of oxygen.
Carbon dioxide comprises. O2% of the earth’s atmosphere. The media makes you think it’s choking us out at 50%. By the way chlorophyll is a miracle, not magic.
Great perspective, but the warmists are impervious to facts. They consider them blasphemy.
What this story illustrates is that the deep state is comprised of noodle-armed weenies who will run when confronted.
That ought to go over like a fart in an elevator...
Question:
How do occupants get heat in the winter inside electric cars???
The Minnesota State Fair was held this past week. You could see on the cameras that the vast majority like 95% + were not wearing masks. WCCO tv refused to setup at the fair due to safety concerns. The local paper were all about concerns over the chinese virus to play up the plandemic.

There once was a Lefty named Greta

But she cast her dumb lot

And her Asperger’s ain’t any better
Gad. The amount of CO2 that enters the atmosphere each year is something like 700 Gigatons from volcanos, plants decaying, outgassing from the oceans, etc. Humans contribute something like 30 Gigatons.
When you ask the alarmists, they say that even with the variability of a lot of volcano activity or a little, warming of oceans by increased sunspot activity or cooling by a little, or anything else, it is steady from year to year. It is us adding the CO2, that 30 Gigatons that is throwing everything out of whack.
I swear. They just make this crap up as they go along. There is no rational discussion possible with them.
It is going to be war with them. That is the only way. Because they are already at war with us.
But to be a credible predictor of the future, you need to have a track record of successful predictions today. That's what machine learning and climate models are all about.
Somebody posting on Wikipedia has done a good job of keeping an annual record of the predictions of the U.S. climatology organizations over a couple decades on predicting the number of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes in the Atlantic.
And what the data shows is that often times their track record of prediction is not very good at all.
The 2013 American hurricane season is the year when every one of these organizations failed miserably.
See the prediction chart in the Wiki story. It shows that the actual number of hurricanes was 2 when the "experts" were predicting 7-9 hurricanes. In major hurricances, none occurred, and every one of these predictor recorded 3 or more.
So here you have massive prediction failure only a few months ahead. What does that say about their ability to predict 50 years into the future?
These people are jackasses.
I remember going to a lecture at the Boston Museum of Science back in the late Nineties or early 2000s, and they had guys there from the National Weather Service who said that within five years, they would be able to predict city-block size weather patterns two weeks in advance.
I think I involuntarily snorted aloud when I heard that and remember some people turning to look at me.
And here we are. They cannot accurately predict weather for tomorrow yet.

Single party state advocates are stooges who view those with whom they disagree as the only threat, hence, they hand over the keys to whatever demagogue spoon feeds them the Hate.
