Remember when Rupert Murdoch was a climate crusader? Better sit down before you read this: He may have been a hypocrite

Rupert Murdoch's climate crusade - Aug. 15, 2007

What all these audiences are witnessing is a major media company tackling the problem of climate change. The surprise is that the initiative - which is sweeping and serious - comes from Rupert Murdoch, the chairman and CEO of News Corp.
...
Then again, maybe it makes sense that Murdoch's ahead of the other media barons on the climate change issue.
...
By contrast, Murdoch has boldly promised to make News Corp. carbon neutral by 2010 and to weave environmental issues and themes into his newspapers, TV shows, movies and online properties - a tricky business, particularly when it comes to news.

"Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats," Murdoch said last spring, in a speech webcast to all News Corp. employees (and available here.) "We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction."
...
Murdoch's evolution into a climate change crusader took time.

Now that's a cashed-up carbon footprint

The rich and famous can get stuffed. Unless, of course, they are Rupert Murdoch himself, whose lavishly appointed Boeing Business Jet wafts him to and from:
A $44 million penthouse on New York's 5th Avenue once owned by the Rockefellers;
Rosehearty, a $14 million beachfront shack on New York's Centre Island, recently rented out to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie;
An 11-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills, California 90210;
The Crystal Springs Ranch in Carmel, California, a spread reputedly the size of a small Middle East sheikhdom;
An $8 million apartment in London's posh St James's;
A soaring harbour view penthouse in Sydney;
Cavan, a picture-perfect, 17,000-hectare sheep station near Yass in southern NSW;
A 56-metre yacht, also named Rosehearty (interiors by the French designer Christian Liaigre), berthed on the Cote D'Azur.
Now that's what I call a carbon footprint.
