Semafor has good reporting on this as well.

I've tended not to link to them because they're deep in the woods of "get fossil fuels companies as the main sponsors of our climate reporting" — to the point that the first person they hired to do a climate newsletter resigned over it.

This link is definitely going into the "things to reply to MBFC bot with when it claims that Semafor is least-biased" folder.

It think it's a good reason to hold a grudge against Semafor for doing this, but it's not just a Semafor problem. Even the most prestigious journals have shilled for oil companies; it's not as much a failing of the organization as much as it is a feature of the capitalist system.

I like the idea of rewarding individuals with principles and integrity. We should be posting more of Bill Spindle's stuff. Cipher News appears to have good reporting as well.
