DeSmog was founded in January 2006 to clear the PR pollution that is clouding the science and solutions to climate change. After 15 years, DeSmog continues to expand our focus to other areas where misinformation has eroded public understanding and political action to address critical societal challenges, such as meeting the world’s energy needs, confronting environmental racism, and ensuring a just transition to a sustainable economic paradigm.
