Dear Mr. Murdoch,
Congratulations. Today shareholders will vote to make you the new, proud owner of the Wall Street Journal, one of the best newspapers in the world. It will become part of NewsCorp, your media empire, and I assume, its operations will participate in honoring the commitment you have made to make NewsCorp carbon neutral by 2010.
I am writing to you because I am hoping that you will move the Wall Street Journal to honor the commitment even more in spirit than in fact. What I mean is this.
It is far less important to the world for the Wall Street Journal to offset its carbon emissions -- in fact it is probably inconsequential -- than it is for the newspaper's editorial page to cease its shameful and retrograde opposition to climate action.
