Drilled

Drilled is an investigative journalism organization that has recently collaborated with ProPublica on a significant investigation. This collaboration revealed that fossil fuel companies have been funding climate research at U.S. universities for over three decades. The research supported by these companies has often promoted the idea that climate change can be addressed without reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This finding is particularly newsworthy as global leaders are increasingly looking towards technological solutions like carbon capture, which has also been a subject of scrutiny in the recent reporting. Drilled's work highlights the influence of industry funding on scientific discourse and policy discussions surrounding climate solutions, underscoring the ongoing relevance of independent journalism in scrutinizing the fossil fuel industry's role in the climate crisis.
