CLIMATE

Climate news, specialist plus mainstream.

WeSearch's climate hub mixes specialist climate publishers (Carbon Brief, Inside Climate News, Heatmap, Canary Media) with mainstream-publisher climate desks (Atlantic Climate, NYT Climate, Guardian Environment).

Climate is increasingly its own beat with its own publishers. WeSearch's climate hub mixes the dedicated climate press with mainstream-publisher climate desks, so the latest IPCC analysis sits next to a Heatmap policy piece next to a NYT Climate human-interest story.

How we balance climate coverage

Climate coverage online ranges from cautious establishment science (IPCC reports, peer-reviewed studies) to advocacy journalism (Grist, the Conversation Climate) to industry analysis (Bloomberg Green, Energy Monitor) to outright denial press (which we don't include). We mix the first three; we exclude the fourth.

The exclusion of denial press is editorial. We treat anthropogenic climate change as a scientific consensus that doesn't require false-balance treatment, the same way we wouldn't include flat-earth press in the science hub. More on this in our standards.

How to use the climate hub well

  1. For major reports, read the executive summary and at least two pieces of analysis. The IPCC report is hundreds of pages; the executive summary is dozens; the press coverage of the executive summary is often where readers actually get their understanding from. Reading two pieces (one specialist, one generalist) catches more than reading one.
  2. Track climate-finance and policy together. Carbon markets, IRA implementation, EU CBAM, China climate diplomacy — the policy and the finance move together and the climate hub shows them next to each other.
  3. Subscribe to keyword push. "IPCC", "COP", "EV", "battery", "carbon capture", "fusion".
