What if there was a building that was

LEED rating?
如果有一个建筑是如此的“绿

它正被授予银

And
what
if
that
building
housed
a
company
that,
among

was
spreading
disinformation
about

that
was
undermining
public
support

The
magazine reported last
winter that News
Corp's
Wall Street Journal
routinely dismisses climate change as 'an
apocalyptic
scare,'
and
Fox
News
helped
gin
up
a
fake

by
relentlessly
hyping
the
'climategate'
scandal'
emails
undermined
their
conclusions
about

Including

will
also

Rolling Stone
named Murdoch #1 in its list of

Well,
fair
enough.
But
following
that
line
of
thinking,
neither is it the job of corporate
ranking systems (like the one released in
Newsweek
this week) to
measure
anything
but
operational
greenness
--
how
a
corporation
deals
with
solid
waste,
maximizes energy
efficiency, and avoids smokestack pollution on
their sites, and in some cases in
their
supply
chains.
嗯

很公平。但是随着这条线的思想

So,
for
example,
News
Corp.
came in at number 234
this
year among the 500 U.S. companies
Newsweek
ranked. Its ranking
hardly suggests that this business
carries more responsibility than almost any other
in preventing
policy solutions to the
climate crisis.
新闻集团名列

今年的
500
家美国公司在《新闻周刊》的

其排名不表明这业务只能带来更多责任几乎比其他任何在预防

And
earlier this year, News Corp.'s climate change
performance was given a AAA rating, the
