Dear reader,
I get it. Many of you may feel like we’re being plunged back into darkness. Donald Trump has once again been elected president of the United States and the facts show that doesn’t bode well for a livable climate.
Without a doubt, this is a time for grieving. But here at DeSmog, we recognize it’s also a time for coming together to get ready to fight like hell. Every tenth of a degree of warming matters. Frontline communities matter. Justice and facts matter.
When the world learned about the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, tens of thousands of people visited DeSmog’s database profiles to review the evidence we’ve been collecting for the past two decades on the people and organizations behind it. With your support, our team of journalists and researchers will keep building the evidence files needed to defeat these plans and expose those responsible for them.
Chaos is almost certainly guaranteed. Can you help make sure DeSmog is ready to fight Project 2025 and other extreme plans to undermine climate action?
We are ready to investigate, report, and use our sheer tenacity of will to hold a second Trump administration accountable. Our disinformation databases are essential resources for journalists, attorneys, researchers, activists, and others battling climate denial and delay. Help us keep them updated and expand them going into Trump 2.0 with a donation right now.
Thank you and take care,
Brendan and the whole DeSmog team
P.S. We can’t do this work without readers like you. Can you donate $20 right now to help us keep climate denial and obstruction at bay?
