Thank you to all the speakers — David Akana (@mongabay.com), @geoffdembicki.bsky.social (@desmog.com), @ninardietz.bsky.social, Jazzmin Jiwa, and @jskoff.bsky.social (@ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social) — who shared their climate stories at our panel yesterday at the Narrative Change Summit.

CCNow's Mark Hertsgaard introduces the panel and talks about why journalism IS a climate solution.

Jason Spingarn-Koff shares the trailer of his new film, The Coral Rescuers, a follow-up to Chasing Coral.

Geoff Dembicki of Desmog News talks about their year long investigation that revealed letters and copies of checks Exxon mailed to the right-wing Atlas Network in the 1990s to turn Latin America against climate treaties.

Jazzmin Jiwa shared highlights from her award-winning reporting that appeared in Documented. In the course of a year-long investigation, reporters Carla Mandiola and Jazzmin Jiwa spoke with dozens of migrants and analyzed 9 million government immigration records. The 237,000 migrants who have arrived in New York City since 2022 came from near and far, but many share a common backstory of their former homes being rendered unlivable by the many effects of climate change, in particular the collapse of local food systems.

2025 was a year that defied summary. On the one hand, my own body tried to kill me. Repeatedly. On the other hand, I did some of my best work with Inside Climate News, and even had an image featured in the Pulitzer Center 2025 Year in Photos. 1/🧵

Morning all! Thanks to @ninardietz.bsky.social we've gotten a pre-scrub backup of all CDC Atlas data tables. I need help though. This data has been spread everywhere & I'm not sure all the places it's gone. Would anyone want to create a spreadsheet of CDC datasets in official archives/repos?

Recently, I got to cover Camp Small, Baltimore's municipal lumber yard, for Science Friday. Last night, Camp Small caught fire. The fire was so big, it forced road closures. This morning, the area continues to smolder. This is a sad day for Baltimore. prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/E...
