The world’s most powerful media mogul, who has spent decades denying climate science and sabotaging climate action worldwide, has taking his denial to the next level by denying the existence of climate deniers within his climate denying organisation.
Stepping up his denialism to some Olympic level bullshit, Rupert Murdoch has said “there are no climate change deniers around I can assure you”, referring to some kind of alternative universe in which News Corp hasn’t destroyed the world’s attempts to avoid climate catastrophe every day for the last 30 years.
Answering the question, “what do you believe is the global role of News Corp in the geopolitical climate?” Mr Murdoch averted the truthful answer “to be the worst plague the world has ever seen”.
Then asked, “If you do believe in climate change… why (does) News Corp give climate deniers like Andrew Bolt and Terry McCrann so much airtime in Australia?”.
Again, rather than going through his full history of all the times he denied climate change and all the times his newspapers or TV stations sent us all further down the path of mass extinction, he reminded everyone of the more important fact that sometimes his company sources paper from certified sustainable sources.
