Message From Our Reporters
There are stories that can be constructed in hours and there are stories that take weeks to nail down. As a reporter, I’ve learned that there are some hard-won sentences that can be worth the time invested – not because they’re particularly poetic but because they offer up proof of something important. Something that can have impact.
At DeSmog, my mission is to go chase down the energy and climate stories that the fossil fuel industry doesn’t want told – to bring that proof back to you. As an investigative reporter, I’ve published documents and testimony that have helped expose multi-billion dollar fraud and financial malfeasance in the fossil fuel industry, been cited in class action complaints and Congressional hearings, and shined a little light onto false climate solutions and misinformation.
DeSmog gives me the resources and support necessary to power that work – and there is so much work to do.
Can you help DeSmog to power work like Sharon’s with a recurring monthly or one-time donation?
The incoming Trump administration will embolden far-right governments around the world, and I fear we’ll see even more hostility to climate action, an increased volume of disinformation, and a continued assault on environmental protections.
This is why grassroots investigative journalism like the kind we do at DeSmog is more critical than ever.
We need to be able to dig deep into the financials, to examine corporate power and the systemic failures that are exacerbating climate change. With your support, it's my aim to continue uncovering these stories - stories that hold those in power accountable and elevate the voices of the communities most affected.
Please consider supporting DeSmog with a monthly or one-time donation this Giving Tuesday.
Your donation will help fund the in-depth investigations needed to spotlight the forces blocking meaningful climate action. Together, we can make sure the truths that matter are built up – not buried, no matter how hard they try.
With gratitude for your support,
Sharon
