James Murdoch blasts News Corp's 'ongoing climate change denial'The youngest son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch has used a rare public statement to take aim at News Corp's climate change reporting. Tell sarahmurdoch to HaveAWordWithYourHusband (Sarah's hubby is Lachlan, heir to the thrown.) Sarah does loads for charities and great causes and appears to ha e a good heart. Perhaps she can turn Lachlan's views around? I’ve often thought the Murdoch’s don’t hold the views their media empire advocates, rather they don’t care and just spread lies, fear and hate for the sake of profit and power Bring the water back to the country ScottMorrisonMP Liberaks Stop fracking and waste of water- stealing from country and people. The water from the north is stopped and mis-used. River and creek systems are dead because of that! Bad media and big money destroyed Australia

James Murdoch breaks ranks over 'climate change denial'James Murdoch has accused his family's global media empire of promoting climate denialism in a stunning attack on News Corporation's climate coverage. Oh man, just wait until he sees what his father's news outlet thinks about immigrants and women and minorities and Muslims and people who say happy holidays and extra-judicial killings and *time passed* and abortion and voter rights and that one time Obama wore a tan suit. I’d heard James Murdoch has very different views from his family and that Lachlan was more conservative than his father. As soon as the LNP are voted out in 2022 legislation has to be changed to rid Australia of Newscorp and Murdochs. BoycottMurdoch MurdochMuck auspol Every family has a black sheep. Unfortunately, this one is the reverse. A family of evil sheep has but one good lamb. It seems.

Hanson 'not convinced' by 'fanatics' linking bushfires to climate change | Sky News AustraliaOne Nation Senator Pauline Hanson says she is 'not convinced' by 'fanatics' who are linking the bushfire crisis to man-made climate change. \n\n“Our climate is changing, I don’t deny that, but is it man-made is another question that we need to ask,” she said. \n\n“They’re telling us that the earth’s temperature is going to increase by two or three per cent in the next 100 years, but where’s your proof? They can’t even get it right when they tell me it’s going to rain on my property. \n\n“If they can’t even get it right day to day, how are they going to predict it 50 or 100 years down the track, sorry but it doesn’t wash with me or a lot of Australians. \n\n“So let’s stop destroying businesses and people’s way of living across Australia [in the name of climate change].” \n\nSenator Hanson also criticised the government’s response to the bushfire crisis, saying its initial $2 billion pledge was not enough. \n\n“It irritates people to think that we’re giving so much money, billions of dollars to overseas countries to help them and not putting that own amount back into our own country,” she said. \n\n“We must look after our own, clean up our own backyard first.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia PaulineHansonOz Missing the irony in her own use of the word 'fanatic' of course..... PaulineHansonOz Show Hanson the evidence the please explain, again. PaulineHansonOz Level 10 schooling what else could you expect. I get my climate science facts from experts. Does pauline think we should send kids to school to learn science

Science Minister says climate denial a waste of time in wake of fires'Every second we spend discussing if climate change is real is a second we don't spend addressing these issues. Let's move on and get over this.' Science Minister Karen Andrews says. | Exclusive The co-ordinated arson attacks by the Australian Greens has achieved its objective. This is after her own government sat on a climate report for 18 months and did nothing with it. A bit hypocritical don’t you think minister? Focussing solely on mitigation and adaptation is another form of denial. Reducing emissions has to be a fundamental part of the response.

Science Minister says climate denial a waste of time in wake of firesAustralia's science minister has a blunt warning for people denying the reality of climate change: stop wasting time and start dealing with it. Too late. We're literally toast. Bushfire Main Causes Arsonists & Green Environmental Restrictions and misguided Green ideology. 2 The Green ideas must take blame for deaths I don't know ANY sane person who is 'denying' that climate change is real, and has been occurring for millennia. I do however know a lot of sane people who rightly believe trying to 'change' an entire planets climate through taxation is fucking absurd.
