"Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation is to push climate change
propaganda through it's programming and media output in an
effort to cause people to change their behavior and become
more green."
Here we see the classic tactic of 'blaming the victim'. Any significant
improvement to our situation can only be achieved by transforming our
infrastructures. These are problems of society, not problems of individuals.
"Political bodies such as the UN and the IPCC have announced
that the debate on man-caused climate change is over despite
a great deal of opposition from large swathes of the
scientific community, and are pushing for a global tax on
carbon emissions."
Any UN tax is a step toward one-world government. This particular tax will no
more stop emissions than taxes on cigarettes and alcohol have stopped smoking
and drinking. Besides, petroleum is already heavily taxed, and that doesn't seem
to have helped the problem.

Murdoch To Push Climate Change Propaganda
Acclimatising viewers to future government policy on climate change
Infowars.net
Friday, May 11, 2007
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation is to push climate change propaganda through
it's programming and media output in an effort to cause people to change their
behavior and become more green.
At an event held this morning in midtown Manhattan and webcast to all News Corp.
employees, Murdoch vowed to "weave climate messaging into the content and
programming of News Corp.'s many holdings."
"The challenge is to revolutionize the [climate change] message," Murdoch told
the crowd. He emphasized the need to "make it dramatic, make it vivid, even
sometimes make it fun. We want to inspire people to change their behavior."
Murdoch's media empire encompasses Fox News, 20th Century Fox, HarperCollins,
MySpace.com, and dozens of newspapers in Australia, the U.K., the U.S., and
beyond.
"Our advertisers are asking us for ways to reach audiences on this issue,"
Murdoch said. He also argued that the new climate strategy would reduce energy
costs, help the company recruit top talent, and provide "a chance to deepen our
relationships with our viewers, readers, and web users."
News Corp. Vice President of Business Development Roy Bahat commented "It will
naturally become more prevalent throughout our programming, be it sitcoms or
news. We are asking all of our creative leaders to incorporate climate change in
ways that would make drama more dramatic, or comedy funnier, or news more
relevant -- ways that inspire viewers to bond with the program."
Political bodies such as the UN and the IPCC have announced that the debate on
man-caused climate change is over despite a great deal of opposition from large
swathes of the scientific community, and are pushing for a global tax on carbon
emissions.
We can now expect to see such solutions to climate change written into News
Corp. owned sit-coms and dramas in a propaganda placement style just as
government policy on terrorism and torture has been placed favourably within
shows such as 24 or Threat Matrix.
Earlier this year Murdoch admitted that he had attempted to "shape public
opinion" on the war in Iraq in favour of the Bush administration.
