No one is more responsible for this mess than this guy.
Rupert Murdoch.
The largest media mogul in the English speaking world. He owns Fox News. He owns The UK Sun. He owns the New York Post. He owns The Wall Street Journal. He owns 90% of the Australian press.
He urged the British people to support Brexit:
(She never said of this)
Rupert Murdoch has used his immense influence to spread climate change denial. Fox News has denied climate change for decades. It's pure disinformation.
From January through June 2019, Fox News Network programs mentioned climate change or global warming 391 times, which amounts to roughly 65 mentions per month.
Of the 247 segments, 212 or 86% were dismissive of the climate crisis, cast warming and its consequences in doubt or employed fear mongering when discussing climate solutions.

According to a recent study, Republicans trust Fox News than any other news source:

Republicans make up half the United States. They trust Fox News more than any other media organization. Let that sink in.
The Wall Street Journal is also a major problem.
I mean look at this shit:
There's no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy.

Climate Science is not settled

Global warming doesn't matter. Contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects is thin.

The Climate-Change Religion
President Obama wrote in his proclamation for Earth Day on Wednesday. “As a Nation, we must act before it is too late.”
Obama and his supporters are wrong. There is no reason to act.

No, climate change has not caused an increase in the frequency or intensity of floods, droughts, hurricanes and tornadoes. This is a false claim.

What is the origin of the false belief — constantly repeated — that almost all scientists agree about global warming?
There is actually no scientific consensus on global warming

The Guardian, The New York Times or The Financial Times would never publish such garbage. But the Wall Street Journal has been publishing trash like this for decades.
Rupert Murdoch is famous in Australia because he believes climate change is a wonderful thing. All his medias are instructed to support climate-denial:

16 scientists wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal claiming climate change is fake. Many of these scientists are linked to the oil industry.
-
255 respected scientists wrote an open letter to the Wall Street Journal saying climate change is real and denouncing disinformation.

You know what scares me the most? The Wall Street Journal is the favorite newspaper of high-income americans. It's the one newspaper that american CEOs trust.
Journalists working for the Wall Street Journal aren't stupid.
They perfectly know what's going on. Their journalism earns the paper credibility. That credibility is weaponized by Murdoch to spread his propaganda.
A few years ago, hundreds of Wall Street Journal journalists wrote a letter to Publisher Almar Latour, saying their newspaper is used to spread disinformation:
They were told to fuck off if they don't want to be fired. Anyone subscribing to the WSJ is part of the problem.
Rupert Murdoch has done a staggering amount of damage. And people still "trust" his garbage media. The New York Post is one of the most visited website in the US.
