No not really, more contributions and the like, he already has a track record of paying out to officials, why stop now?

Mr Murdoch will be able to buy his way out of trouble, if not, I'm sure he has something on anyone with something to lose.

I have for years postulated a big enough event say, a large hurricane that tears up the expensive parts of the east coast of the USA, might be enough to prompt some serious thought about climate change, but Sandy was not really big enough, only 50B worth of costs, I guess it will take a really big one to carve up Florida or Washington DC to prompt a reaction. Let's face it either it's a freak event (or two or three), Global climate change, or God hates you.
