A priest has sewn his lips together to protest against the “suppression” of climate science in Rupert Murdoch's media outlets.
Reverend Tim Hewes, 71, carried out the symbolic act outside News UK’s office in Central London yesterday. It's home to the UK arm of Murdoch’s global news empire, News Corps.
In a video released on YouTube, Hewes calls Murdoch a “climate change denier, dissembler and delayer” and says the media mogul has influence over governments which has led to a lack of meaningful action on the climate crisis.
Alongside Hewes, a Church of England priest in the Diocese of Oxford and a former dentist, was Reverend Mark Coleman, 62. Coleman took a letter into the building addressed to the Environment Editor at The Times newspaper, asking him to meet and discuss the situation.

If only all those who believe CO2 is a threat to the climate would stop exhaling it, we could solve this problem overnight.

Pretty evident why he flunked out of med school and went to seminary.

No kidding.
Thing is, they believe Carbon Dioxide is a poison, they believe people are causing it, and a good number of these people believe that reducing population is the solution to that problem.
However, it is always a population of someone else that should be reduced to save Gaia...never them of course.

We don’t hear nearly enough about global warming. Maybe the media will listen to this guy and move the coverage up from 24/7 to 28/8.

Yeah, he kinda looks like an extra from the Walking Dead
