Just circling back because year-end support really makes a difference for our small but mighty newsroom.

YES, I WANT TO HELP! [[link removed]]

For instance, reporter TJ Jordan revealed that ad giant IPG created campaigns to rebrand Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, as a promoter of climate solutions. Staff accused IPG of breaking an ‘industry first’ climate policy.

Now, with our reporting, advocates are preparing to challenge Aramco’s sponsorship of the 2026 World Cup.

Plus, the 2025 Covering Climate Now Journalism Awards named TJ “Emerging Journalist of the Year.” The judges called his work “consistently superb.” I agree.

If you value reporting that holds power accountable — and that we’ll never block with paywalls or ads — we hope you’ll make a contribution before the year ends.

Even small gifts help keep work like TJ’s going: Donate now. [[link removed]]
