Above at left, last Thursday's front pager declaration from the Murdoch press Daily Telegraph the empire is going carbon neutral.
We mentioned this to David Marr at a Fairfax rally (shameless name dropping) the same day who was moved to mock compassion for such determined sceptics as Andrew Bolt at the Herald Sun in Melbourne also in the News Ltd stable.
The resident critic of climate change at the Daily Telegraph above at right is Tim Blair. And he has written a creative very amusing article in reaction today above at right - yes all that blacking out and crossed headline is all his own work as published today.
As for the left hand story above by one of his Big Media colleagues there, it's written by one Saffron Howden, quite the sophisticate, we met once as a journalism student (her, not this writer) to brief on sand mining impacts at Maroota north west of Sydney.
Her mother Jocelyn ... and read this slowly Tim Boy.... works for a Green MP here in NSW state parliament.
So there you go, Tim. Times change. We're all greenies now, more or less. Really.
Don't worry about Mike Carlton sledging today in the Sydney Morning Herald Hot air becomes cool breeze
It's 3 degrees of separation: My own brother works for the Dept of Prime Minister and Cabinet somewhere - he has several kids to support and so wisely keeps a long distance from this black sheep.
I was a corporate lawyer 17 years ago myself.
So where to from here? I have no idea but it's going to be different. You know it is too.
And don't say it's going to be hard to adjust. You know most journalists don't actually believe in anything, except the next gotcha, spiffy headline or angle.
Have a green one.
