Will you stand with our human-powered climate journalism?
Whew, what a year. This email represents your final chance to power DeSmog into the new year with a donation to help shape our major coverage for 2026. (Thanks to everyone who's already donated!)
For example, this year, as artificial intelligence (AI) dominated headlines with talk of revolutions, bubbles, and safety concerns, we dug deep into the climate connections, launching our Tech vs. Climate series. Our reporters examined everything from the gas industry roots of OpenAI’s energy chief to the UK government’s risk of blowing its climate promises.
When you donate by December 31, you can help us scale up our coverage faster than Elon Musk’s data center dreams.
Every donation, big or small, right now directly funds new projects and investigations in 2026.
In our final year-end appeal, I want to call attention to the dizzying array of publications, large, small, far and wide, we partnered with this past year.
We value these collaborations both for the opportunities to work with other excellent journalists and to amplify the power of our own reporting. To name just a few outlets we co-published with: The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Texas Tribune, Jacobin, The Lever, Norway’s E24, Correctiv, and Inside EPA.
Just wait until you find out what ambitious, globe-spanning plans we have in store for 2026.
But don’t wait to donate. Give now, before the December 31 deadline, whatever you can helps.
Thank you for reading — and for standing with our human-powered, nonprofit climate accountability journalism.
With gratitude,
Brendan DeMelle
Executive Director
P.S. Every dollar you donate goes straight to powering DeSmog’s nonprofit investigative reporting and research. Don’t wait. Will you help us continue this essential work into 2026 with a gift right now?
