Monday this week (October 11 2021), the Australian public broadcaster ABC (similar to BBC in the UK) program "Media Watch" aired a small segment relevant to this discussion. Media Watch noted that this week, News Corporation newspapers across Australia (part of the Murdoch media empire, which also spans the US and UK) featured front covers embracing action towards climate change - for one of the first times ever [1]. Aside from the obvious shamble of so many papers sharing identical nearly content directed from a central source, this marks a radical shift in NewsCorp's commentary on climate change policy, and it's relationship to the Australian economy and people. The fact that Google, one of the few larger players than NewsCorp in the advertising space, should be undertaking this kind of position perhaps shows that global risk assessment of climate change is starting to infiltrate large corporations, financial institutions and investors in a much more impactful way than previously. Which is late, but great. [1] https://imgur.com/a/keUz54x https://imgur.com/a/keUz54x (Screenshot from the episode)
