This week I published a major investigation revealing the oil and gas industry's long-running deception over natural gas. My co-authors and I lay out in new details and documents how big oil and gas manufactured the myth of "clean" natural gas.
NYT's @HirokoTabuchi writes this report "casts a harsh light on how the oil and gas industry has previously communicated the role of natural gas in global warming."
"Oil knew for decades of methane's danger" — check out the article on our investigation: nytimes.com/2026/07/21/clima…

Hello - I've been let go from Vox. Obviously there's a lot going on in the energy and environment space, and I will continue to follow it.
Open to ideas, outlets to pitch, collabs, and happy just to chat. You can reach me at uirfan AT gmail dot com
I won't be active on Twitter going forward so hope to find folks on Bluesky- [email protected]. Let's try to be kind to each other.
because the journalism business is so dire we're in a weird era where subscriptions are shorthand morality tests/ value statements and we're forever trapped in an outrage cycle
i don't have the answer except that there are a lot of smaller nonprofit newsrooms doing exceptional work
Why is The Atlantic running "propaganda" from a major gas and electric utility? Important story @emdashsanders exxonknews.org/p/southern-co…

Don't love outlets pretending they haven't downsized their climate coverage by crossposting other outlets' content.
This shouldn't say Vox staff when it was actually a story done by Grist. grist.org/politics/the-clima…

So turns out that a top anti-climate lawsuit group was being funded as part of a 'confidential' oil industry campaign called 'Defend BP'.
@SenWhitehouse told me it's part of a long pattern of 'phony front groups flush with dark money.'

so little has changed between these 1988 vs 2024 VP debate questions about climate change, except the harm

The Manufacturer's Accountability Project is ubiquitous fighting cities' and states' suits against oil companies. Now, it's clear they're being funded directly by at least one of those companies.

NEW: Two former Trump White House officials told me they had to show voter data to Trump to get him to release disaster funding to CA wildfire victims. He released it after learning that he had as many GOP supporters in Orange Co. as he did in Iowa. eenews.net/articles/helene-i…
