No one is more responsible for this mess than this guy.
Rupert Murdoch.
The largest media mogul in the English speaking world. He owns Fox News. He owns The UK Sun. He owns the New York Post. He owns The Wall Street Journal. He owns 90% of the Australian press.
He urged the British people to support Brexit:
(She never said of this)
Rupert Murdoch has used his immense influence to spread climate change denial. Fox News has denied climate change for decades. It’s pure disinformation.
From January through June 2019, Fox News Network programs mentioned climate change or global warming 391 times, which amounts to roughly 65 mentions per month.
Of the 247 segments, 212 or 86% were dismissive of the climate crisis, cast warming and its consequences in doubt or employed fear mongering when discussing climate solutions.

According to a recent study, Republicans trust Fox News than any other news source:

Republicans make up half the United States. They trust Fox News more than any other media organization. Let that sink in.
The Wall Street Journal is also a major problem.
I mean look at this shit:
There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.

Climate Science is not settled

Global warming doesn’t matter. Contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects is thin.

The Climate-Change Religion
President Obama wrote in his proclamation for Earth Day on Wednesday. “As a Nation, we must act before it is too late.”
Obama and his supporters are wrong. There is no reason to act.

No, climate change has not caused an increase in the frequency or intensity of floods, droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes. This is a false claim.

What is the origin of the false belief — constantly repeated — that almost all scientists agree about global warming?
There is actually no scientific consensus on global warming

The Guardian, The New York Times or The Financial Times would never publish such garbage. But the Wall Street Journal has been publishing trash like this for decades.
Rupert Murdoch is famous in Australia because he believes climate change is a wonderful thing. All his medias are instructed to support climate-denial:

16 scientists wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal claiming climate change is fake. Many of these scientists are linked to the oil industry.
255 respected scientists wrote an open letter to the Wall Street Journal saying climate change is real and denouncing disinformation.

You know what scares me the most? The Wall Street Journal is the favorite newspaper of high-income americans. It’s the one newspaper that american CEOs trust.
Journalists working for the Wall Street Journal aren’t stupid.
They perfectly know what’s going on. Their journalism earns the paper credibility. That credibility is weaponized by Murdoch to spread his propaganda.
A few years ago, hundreds of Wall Street Journal journalists wrote a letter to Publisher Almar Latour, saying their newspaper is used to spread disinformation:
They were told to fuck off if they don’t want to be fired. Anyone subscribing to the WSJ is part of the problem.
Rupert Murdoch has done a staggering amount of damage. And people still “trust” his garbage media. The New York Post is one of the most visited website in the US.
This is an incredible comment. With a little work it would make a fine article to publish online.
it was because of this fuck that we got stuck with an inferior NBN in Australia. We could have had a MINIMUM of 1Gbps for almost EVERYONE, but this fucker didn’t want his fuckwit foxtel to have competition, so he decided (let’s face it, HE decided) that his puppets turnballs was to gut the NBN, and now we’re stuck with a multibillion dollar failure.
Fuck the murdochs so fucking hard. I have an (ir)rational hatred of them. WE COULD HAVE HAD 1Gbps!
We know he’s a monster and yet we do nothing to stop him. The laws are powerless. Simply shooting him is seen as gauche.
I don’t mind being seen as gauche.
The problem is I live thousands of miles away and have no guns.
Plus it isn’t just Murdoch. Shooting him is a good start, yes. But just about every large corporation CEO, and very billionaire etc, and most world leaders, and most politicians also need to be ‘taken out’ for anything to really start changing.
(Which I’m fine with btw. Shoot away, Luigi)
And yet, Murdoch is simply a symptom of the real disease, capitalism. Without him, we would still be in the same situation, because capitalism requires endless growth and both incentivizes and requires greed and individualistic behavior from those with power.
A global socialist revolution is the only thing that can save our species and the biosphere.
Don’t worry. Trump will ban weather reports.
diabetic_porcupineIdk man I asked Siri what temp it was today and she said 103 and I call bs it felt more like 112 or even 120
The thing every mildly intelligent person has been warning us about for 75 years is happening exactly the way they warned us about for 75 years.
If not worse. But the worse projections made people sadder, so they were ignored even harder.
Too bad, because we are well passed the “best case scenario.” The projections of the past will seem mild compared to reality.
EastofEdsonWe were already in planet cooking conditions before this push for AI in everything. I think we are doomed as a species. Which oddly enough is what the elites want.
No shit, Sherlock… That has been said for over 40 years now, but now that can’t be denied you publicise it? You are not a news agency, you’re a propaganda agency.
I hope the data centers get overheated
Which is probably why the climate effects will be so extreme as nature does its thing in an attempt to rebalance the environment.
That’s what it means even people cry “the weather always change, you just have to adapt.” Adaption means things you like get cancelled.
Lady Butterfly she/herThis is wrong I know because they used to grow grapes in Britain and i saw a meme saying it’s not true so that proves it /s

It’d be a shame if someone started a rumor that they lost power because of data centers.
Oh baby, you can’t convince me its not the data centers
That’s what I heard.
had to divert power to the AI data centres. Wont somebody think of the tech bros?

It looks like were past the worst of it today. The problem tomorrow is going to be the humidity. Modern heat pumps have to work harder when the water in the air cant absorb energy from the system.
Be informed, be safe, and be excellent to eachother.
So global warming isn’t real or are they still think it’s space lasers?
A conservative dumbass found a snowball in the middle of winter to bring into Congress, and thereby debunked all those poindexters talking all that sciencey stuff about “global warming” - what do those pencil-necks even know? The have no common sense not to see the snow in winter! Ptooeey!
