For decades now, there's been a
deliberate and successful effort to
confuse the American public about the
reality of climate change.
Which brings us to InsideClimate News'
series, "Exxon: The Road Not Taken."
InsideClimate News did an 8-month investigation
and produced a 9-part series that was a finalist for
a Pulitzer Prize, all on the question of
ExxonMobil's knowledge of basic climate science.
The Exxon project was probably the most
satisfying in my journalistic career.
... while promoting and funding
climate science denial, despite its internal
awareness of the reality of climate change.
True or false?
Senator, since I am no longer with ExxonMobil
I am in no position to speak on their behalf.
The question would have to be put to them.
While we weren't watching, something else happened.
Environmental journalism was hollowed out
in many parts of the country.
We've filled a critical gap in environmental journalism.
I started InsideClimate News 10 years ago
with Stacy Feldman. We now have
15 people working here, which I think,
makes us the largest environmental newsroom
in the country.
One of the things that excited me
when I came to InsideClimate News
was that I was going to be working with
so many incredible women.
And that's really, really rare
and feels very empowering.
This is a return to the core mission of
journalism, which is shedding light
on things that a lot of people would
like to keep hidden.
You can see the impacts of climate change
in America, and all over the world.
It's a story that's not going away.
Why do we have to talk about it?
If we ignore the environment,
won't it just go away?
