About
The Climate Investigations Center (CIC) is a nonprofit organization established in 2014 that investigates and exposes the funding and activities of climate denial campaigns, fossil fuel companies, and entities opposing environmental regulations. It monitors individuals, corporations, trade associations, political organizations, and front groups working to delay sound energy and environmental policies amid climate change. CIC focuses on drawing back the curtain on corporate influence, including historical groups like the Global Climate Coalition, and targets conservative megadonors such as Barre Seid, think tanks, oil, coal, and gas companies. CIC conducts research and publishes reports on topics like CO2 pipeline accidents (e.g., the 2021 Satartia, Mississippi incident) and the legacy of climate denial by corporations. It provides resources for reporters and engages in projects uncovering the history of corporate opposition to climate action. The organization positions itself as an environmental research entity adversarial to climate denial networks. Contact for media: [email protected].
