Kevin O'Leary wants to build the world's LARGEST AI Data Centre in Alberta powered almost entirely by gas! Let's get into it! #AI youtu.be/e5F2ohSDSSU

This is cartoon-bad-guy levels of deranged. Meta plans to launch facial recognition glasses 'during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.' www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Is Canada's national paper the Globe and Mail publishing AI op-eds from oil lobbyists? A recent piece the Globe ran attacking climate regulations seemed like it was written by robots. So I put the op-ed into an AI detector and here was the result lol

🔴 NEW - MAGA Gathers in European Parliament to Attack EU Laws The European far-right rubbed shoulders with pro-Trump groups in Brussels. I was in the room so you didn’t have to be (and be glad you weren’t) For @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/02/06/m...

Another reason why billionaire-owned media is not the solution... While Bezos guts the Washington Post's climate team the Los Angeles Times is just publishing straight up climate crisis denial from Bjorn Lomborg. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

In addition to decimating the Washington Post Jeff Bezos is also the vanguard of a new 'insidious form of climate denial.' Read @rtakver.bsky.social's fascinating @desmog.com interview with @adambecker.bsky.social about the sci-fi delusions guiding Big Tech. www.desmog.com/2026/02/04/q...

Your daily reminder: the far right has never stopped talking about climate change. "Don't mention climate change" is a centre-right tactic designed to clear space for these people, not a good-faith piece of comms advice for the left.

Stoked to be on @thebreakdownab.bsky.social talking about @desmog.com's reporting on Danielle Smith's long list of ties to MAGA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH9I...

DeSmog obtained audio of Mark Carney's former chief of staff describing key goals for the PM and it's a lot less radical-sounding than Carney's recent speech at Davos Grow oil production, sell LNG, revive NAFTA 🙄 Read more from @marylouisestuart.bsky.social www.desmog.com/2026/01/27/m...

"paid protestors" is one of the oldest propaganda tricks in the book (literally -- it was used around Civil War discourse, and to combat labor strikes in the early 1900s too). Journalists and TV anchors should push back on it whenever they hear it. drilled.media/news/ivy-lee

Wonder why Danielle Smith isn't speaking out about Trump threatening Greenland? I'm sure it has nothing to do with her cultivating connections to the Trump official tasked with annexing the territory. Read more from @marylouisestuart.bsky.social in @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/01/14/d...

“Danielle Smith is part of a U.S. group whose leader, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, has been tasked by the Donald Trump administration with helping to annex Greenland.” Anyone think Smith would condemn Trump annexing Greenland? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.desmog.com/2026/01/14/d...

As the MAGA billionaire Paul Singer was buying up Venezuelan oil assets, an expert from a think tank that he's given $100,000 to was doing the rounds on Fox News defending US aggression against Maduro. Read more in @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/01/12/a...

SCOOP: An expert who appeared on Fox News multiple times to defend Trump's attack on Venezuela works for a think tank backed by MAGA oil billionaire Paul Singer. Singer bought the US arm of a Venezuelan oil company in November and is now set to cash in huge. www.desmog.com/2026/01/12/a...

Everyone's trying to find a rational economic reason for why Trump attacked Venezuela but the true explanation is probably weirder and stupider. I think it's a combo of MAGA ideologues hating Maduro and Trump wanting to create great--and distracting--content for X. All the oil stuff was a bonus.

Here's what we learned at @desmog.com spending the last year reporting on MAGA and its allies across the US, UK, Europe and Canada. www.desmog.com/2025/12/22/h...

Amazon just sponsored an AI energy summit chock full of climate deniers and fossil fuel evangelists, never mind that it promotes itself as a global corporate climate leader.... Just how far did the summit go to promote fossil fuel-powered AI? Find out @desmog.com 👇 www.desmog.com/2025/12/18/a...

It should be way bigger news that far-right politicians from Europe, some of whose parties actively flirt with Nazi slogans, came to NYC to party with Young Republicans. Oh yeah, and the event was co-organized by a group linked to Viktor Orban. www.desmog.com/2025/12/18/g... @desmog.com

New @desmog.com story shows how pro-oil and gas 'news' is manufactured. The Globe & Mail reported on an LNG report without noting the report's author works for a fossil fuel lobby group. The group even tells clients it can 'get your story told' in Cdn media. www.desmog.com/2025/12/18/m...

I know people don't need more reasons to dunk on Matthew Yglesias, but the fact that he describes Mark Carney as representing 'the Left in Canada' is totally hilarious. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

At this point AI expansion and fossil fuel growth are basically the same thing. And Charles Koch's political network is working with the Trump administration to shape the strategy. Read more at @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/12/11/t...

Glad to be on @apublicaffair.bsky.social, thanks for the thoughtful chat about climate disinformation!

The Indigenous group cited as being in favour of the pipeline in this article is in fact a crown corporation owned by the Government of Alberta. Its funding comes from the GoA and Danielle Smith's Cabinet appoints its Board of Directors globalnews.ca/news/1155109...

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

Carney just signed a deal with Alberta that lays out conditions for a new oil pipeline. In doing this, he managed to piss off one of his own cabinet ministers (who promptly resigned), coastal First Nations, the B.C. government, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois. But uh, here's what he got:

liberal talking heads proving they have absolutely no convictions other than power and consulting contracts with how quickly they turned around on oil pipelines and climate policy

Starting in earnest around 1997, during the early years of UN-led efforts to forge a global climate pact, Atlas Network and its partners created and executed a playbook to sabotage support for international treaties across the Global South, according to hundreds of documents obtained by @desmog.com

Charles Koch built his fortune importing Canadian oil—with Koch Inc importing more than a billion barrels of foreign oil into the US since 2015. Now a Koch-funded law firm is taking Trump's tariffs to the Supreme Court. @sharonkelly reports:

In case you're wondering how cozy AI giant Nvidia, and its CEO Jensen Huang, are getting to the Trump administration, Huang's now showering praise on Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a climate denying fracking executive..... My reporting for @desmog.com ⤵️ www.desmog.com/2025/11/12/n...

Some explanations deliver themselves. Soft denialism on the march.

🔴 NEW - Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, flogged its tech to the oil industry in Brazil on the eve of the COP30 summit 📝 Great scoop by @rtakver.bsky.social for @desmog.com 👇🏻

I got some fan mail for my story about Exxon and Atlas Network! "You’re a two-digit IQ left-wing quack with fortunately zero influence." www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

I get asked a lot about how climate change denial in USA affected or was exported to the rest of the world. Read this: www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

This research provides a critical step in understanding the Atlas Network, and an important example of the scale and influence of disinformation campaigns.

This is a crucial investigation. Dembicki brings the literal receipts for Exxon using the #AtlasNetwork to break climate action in the Global South. Lomberg’s presence is telling. He is present at the end of “Merchants of Doubt” as the latest of a few cooperative “scientists”. #Auspol #NZpol

Stunning @desmog.com story from @geoffdembicki.bsky.social - showing how oil major ExxonMobil bankrolled climate science denial in the global south prior to crucial global summits... www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

This is incredible, even for Exxon. Exxon found to have funded right-wing think tanks to spread #climate change denial across Latin America in a "coordinated campaign to make the global south “less inclined” to support the UN-led climate treaty process." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We obtained hundreds of documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial in Latin America and all across the Global South. Read @geoffdembicki.bsky.social's exclusive story. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

Today a story I've spent months reporting and writing runs on @desmog.com and @theguardian.com. It's based on hundreds of exclusive documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial across Latin America and the Global South. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

NEW: Exxon funded efforts to spread climate denial across Latin America, @geoffdembicki.bsky.social reports, "according to hundreds of previously unpublished documents that reveal a coordinated campaign to make the global south 'less inclined' to support the UN-led climate treaty process."

An interesting conversation between @volts.wtf and @mliebreich.bsky.social about #ClimateReset, agreeing on many things (renewables are replacing fossils) and disagreeing in good spirits on other (communication strategy & media environment)... Worth a listen! www.volts.wtf/p/michael-li...

Be sure to catch this screening and panel discussion moderated by @geoffdembicki.bsky.social

One reason why Alberta separatists want the province to leave Canada? Ending Indigenous rights. @desmog.com reporter @daniparadis.bsky.social went to a rightwing conference in Calgary and heard truly unhinged remarks about what an independent AB would look like. www.desmog.com/2025/10/28/a...

I'll be on this panel talking about a big disinfo scoop DeSmog is preparing to publish :0

🗓️ Join CAAD for a Pre-COP30 Disinformation Roundtable on Thursday October 30th, at 11am ET. We'll dig into the latest climate misinformation trends with a panel of experts and discuss how to counter false narratives ahead of COP30. Register here buff.ly/A1Da6WM

OpenAI *really* isn't hiding its intention to power the AI boom with fossil fuels. New from me @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/10/13/o...

Shazam! Another smashing episode of Season 14 of Drilled. I love how each conversation goes to places not covered in the chapters-- I'm learning a lot, and I was an editor of the book! @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @krekberg.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

The strategy does not develop linearly, it is adaptive and multifaceted. A summary of what we know about the fossil fuel industry and climate obstruction. Me, @kertdavies.bsky.social and @geoffdembicki.bsky.social in conversation with the great @amywestervelt.bsky.social

Wild to publish thousands of words about why the world has 'soured on climate politics' and not mention at all a relentless fossil fuel campaign against action or the resurgence of far-right climate denial. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...
