I realize that this mini-controversy has largely come and gone — the one in which Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of Fox News’ parent company News Corp, declared it ‘carbon neutral’ — but there are still reports popping up praising the company’s ‘green’ efforts even now, months later. I just wanted to quickly clear the air here: so as long as it is responsible for Fox News (and a host of other climate-denial spouting publications), News Corp cannot call itself carbon neutral. Period.

Recent anomaly in weather condition around the world suggests that global warming effect is felt. Global warming can be described as increase in the average temperature on the Earth surface; this maybe due to presence of more heat trapping gases around the Earth atmosphere. Human approach to mitigate global warming effect is cutting and capping emissions of heat trapping gases. Cutting emissions by promoting use of materials that produces little or no emission and capping emissions by planting & maintaining trees to allow for continuous gaseous exchange with certain harmful gases and other safe practices in handling gases that cause global warming.

Sacramento, Calif., February 22, 2011
Perhaps one of the most bedeviling things in the fight against carbon dioxide pollution is the fact that the gas is odorless and invisible. Everyday, we belch millions of tons of it into the air, but it doesn’t feel like we’re doing anything bad because we can’t see any evidence of it. You can bet that if carbon dioxide were a sickly greenish hue, everyone in the world would be hustling to act.
