Message from Michael Mann

Dear fellow DeSmog reader:

I’ve been a climate scientist for over 20 years, and I’ve been reading DeSmog almost as long. Their reporters and researchers have been holding accountable the fossil fuel industry, media interests, and of course, outright deniers who have been twisting climate science, including my own, to block climate action for decades. And now, with Climate Denier in Chief Donald Trump returning to power, I’m counting on DeSmog’s reporting and databases more than ever. That’s why I hope you’ll join me in supporting them.

Earlier this year, when I won my million-dollar lawsuit against climate deniers, DeSmog was the only news outlet that attended and reported on the defamation trial every single day. Their reporting was spot-on, identifying the fallacies behind libelous allegations that had been made about me and my work, including the iconic “hockey stick” graph. It also illustrated the personal insults against me and my family and the emotional toll it took on us. In a courtroom that had been stacked with climate deniers, it was uplifting to me and my legal team to see their daily accurate accounts of the massive disinformation on trial.

That’s why I urge you to support DeSmog with a $20 donation or whatever you can afford right now. [[link removed]]

DeSmog gives me hope that we can fight back against the deniers and the disinformation they spread, and that we can – and will – slow the worst impacts of climate change before it’s too late.

Thank you,

Michael Mann
