Epilogue: After that film was finished, the team went on to drill the deepest ice core ever drilled in the Americas
Probably because they are caving to demands from Trump. Fucking cowards.
Isn’t National Geographic owned by Murdoch? I think that’s your answer (and all why Nat Geo magazine has been almost unreadable for 20 years).
Nope. Disney.
From the article:
There are multiple organizations broadly known as “National Geographic,” so before we go any further, let’s run through some definitions and distinctions. In 2018, Disney bought a majority stake in an entity called National Geographic Partners, LLC—or NGP, for short. This is the for-profit company that encompasses the magazine, the television channel, and other properties that live under the Nat Geo brand. It was formed in 2015 by then–majority partner 21st Century Fox and the 137-year-old National Geographic Society. The Society is a registered non-profit organization, and it remains a 27 percent-owner of NGP, even after Fox’s sale of its 73-percent share to Disney. When I refer to “National Geographic” in this story, I mean the National Geographic Society unless otherwise specified.
In other words, this article is about the nonprofit that has existed for 137 years. The for-profit subsidiaries were 73% acquired by Fox/Murdoch, and then sold to Disney when Disney bought Fox. But this film was published directly by the nonprofit and not the for-profit subsidiary that is partially owned by Disney.
This long form article is why I pay for a Defector subscription. It’s a good, well researched article that gives the appropriate background and tells a story that nobody else has told, and that maybe never would have been told, by any other outlet.
The people who care about the climate are probably the same who find something else to read because of this.
Because Disney doesn’t want to prejudice M&A.
Queer climate deserves better than a coverup like this.
I think the official ‘wokeness’ was a US campaign to ensure western rage for a war against a conservative/orthodox Russia, but it didn’t work as intended, so now all ‘woke’ projects have been cut off again. I suspect lgbt+, and climate causes/news/events are getting axed while the US Plutocracy prepare for war against China while shielding themselves from a crumbling Dollar. A bit sad that good causes are used like that. Btw, it would have happened with or without Trump.

What the fuck is “official wokeness”

do you understand that equity and inclusion are genuinely good things that millions of people are actively demanding, not some government psyop
