Call for Rupert Murdoch to support carbon price
Murdoch’s papers here, especially The Australian, seem to have gone off the rails. …It seems it’s OK for Rupert to support a price on carbon with his $6 billion wealth but not for Cate….
Rupert Murdoch should lead climate change fight | Crikey Dick Smith: Rupert, come back to Oz, we need you 30 May “…….. Today I am asking Rupert Murdoch to come back to Australia and give us some much needed leadership.
Whilst most of my wealthy colleagues deny that humans can be affecting climate, this is what Rupert says:
“Climate change poses clear catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can’t afford the risk of inaction. We must transform the way we use energy of course — and not only because of climate change.”
…….Murdoch’s papers here, especially The Australian, seem to have gone off the rails. In their editorials they say they accept that human-induced climate change is a real danger, and say they support a market-mechanism for putting a price on carbon.
Yet their news pages and opinion pieces are full of endless attacks on politicians and others who support putting a price on carbon as a necessary step to moving us beyond the carbon economy.
Just look at yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph attacking Cate Blanchett’s leadership on this issue. It seems it’s OK for Rupert to support a price on carbon with his $6 billion wealth but not for Cate….
