News Corp say they believe in climate change now. Don't take their word for it. We also discuss whether buying billboards is effective climate activism.

 

 

News Corp are climate activists?

• News Corp are running a two-week campaign called “Mission Zero”.
• Joe Hildebrand is fronting the campaign.
• Their tabloids ran with “Green and Gold” on their front pages.
• McLean’s deep dive into News Corp’s ongoing climate denial and pushing of gas.
• The News Corp writeup of solar panels is just as bad.
• A part of the their other “Green” coverage, News Corp ran a hit piece on renewables, an exclusive with Gina Rinehart, and a puff piece on Twiggy Forrest.
• Andrew Bolt is big mad (or plays the heel at least).
• Ketan Joshi on the whole News Corp package.

Labor can’t deny

• Victoria Labor is also shit, voting down a Green party bill to prevent drilling for gas near the Twelve Apostles.
