Trust in journalism and the media is at a record low for many Americans. Maybe yours is, too. Major media conglomerates are laying off local journalists and shuttering newspapers, people are getting more information from social media, and the number of partisan and opinion-based sources are growing.
Journalism is a public good, and at Grist we want our work to cut through bias to thoughtfully and accurately cover one of the most existential and politicized threats we all face: climate change.
Whether you read our stories all the time or are just finding out about us and aren’t sure how to wade into the climate conversation, we want you to know we are committed to making sure our work meets your criteria for confidence. Here are 10 reasons why you can trust us.

Hi! We’re Grist 👋 We’re an independent, nonprofit newsroom that’s been on the climate beat for 25 years. We’re so glad you’re here.

As inflation rises and wages stagnate, repair café meetups are connecting people to a movement with the ambitious goal of changing the fundamentals of America’s consumer economy. At these community gatherings, Americans are attempting to fix what they already own, resisting the influence of companies selling everything from hiking boots, smartphones, and hot water boilers, that push for replacement over repair.

When our reporter Tik Root wanted to add some new heat pumps and an electric washer/dryer to his house, he was originally told it would cost an extra $10,000 to build the additional electrical capacity that his house couldn’t currently handle. Some digging revealed that that wasn’t necessarily the case. He learned about some lesser-known sections of the National Electrical Code that ended up saving him from an unnecessary and expensive electrical upgrade. Here’s what to know if you’re planning to electrify your home.

After barely three years on the road, Tesla is going to stop making the Cybertruck (to focus instead on Cybercabs). In late 2023, Elon Musk told investors that Tesla would sell 250,000 Cybertrucks a year. Last year, it sold just over 20,000.
The Cybertruck is not the only electric truck that has fallen flat, although it was certainly the most polarizing. But experts say that’s not the end of the story. Cheaper electric trucks are on the way, like Ford’s upcoming electric pickup truck coming next year, the Fathom, which will be priced cheaper than the average gas-powered pickup.

El Niño is a natural phenomenon in which a band of warm water forms every three to five years off the coast of South America. It raises ocean water temperatures by just a few extra degrees for typically nine to 12 months and ends up injecting an extraordinary amount of energy into the sky. This year’s is already the strongest El Niño on record, and it might not even peak for about another month or two.
The effects of the current El Niño will be global, and they will be severe. Scientists have estimated that the additional heat alone could kill around 450,000 people worldwide.
The atmospheric changes are so complex that different parts of the U.S. will see vastly different impacts from El Niño. (There’s also a lot of uncertainty here: Models can predict general changes across regions, but no one can tell you what the weather will be in a given spot a month from now.)
Here’s some of what to expect around the country. See even more regions and maps at the link in our bio.

Trying to fact-check during a crisis is stressful, and extreme weather makes you feel like there’s a lot to figure out and learn in a short period of time. That’s why it’s important to know ahead of time who you can trust.
Here’s where to find accurate information about extreme weather.

"It's a very dramatic manifestation of the changing climate,” says geoscientist Joseph Young.
Permafrost is ground that remains frozen for two years or longer, and across the Northern Hemisphere it covers an area two and a half times the size of the continental U.S. But permafrost is thawing so quickly it's gouging massive potholes in the landscape.
What scientists are seeing now is something even bigger in scale. A "permafrost detachment slide" happens when frozen soils degrade and the land fails catastrophically. These have only started happening in the last 10 or 15 years, and could have dramatic consequences that extend far beyond the northernmost regions.

Beyond control of Congress and state houses, voters across the country weighed in on a variety of ballot initiatives with implications for climate action. From rebukes of data centers, to support for public transit, here are some of the outcomes to know from state and local ballot measures.
At the link in our bio, read our full election roundup of the races and outcomes to know.

The Democratic Party won a commanding victory in Tuesday’s midterm elections, gaining control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as several state governments. Some notable Democratic victories included:
• James Talarico in Texas, who beat out Republican Ken Paxton, the state’s attorney general and widely considered friendly to the oil and gas industry, for a Senate seat.
• Florida’s 14th Congressional district, where incumbent Kathy Castor, who has been referred to as a “climate hawk,” kept her seat despite redistricting.
• Western North Carolina, where frustration over Hurricane Helene recovery contributed to a victory for Democrat Jamie Ager (despite President Trump’s promise to deliver more hurricane aid money, but only if North Carolina elected Republicans).
The sweep could have profound consequences for climate action in the U.S. But beyond the national headlines are local elections, downballot votes, and a variety of ballot initiatives also worth paying attention to that could have a direct impact on climate and energy.
We’re tracking those, as well as the big national headlines, at grist.org (at the link in our bio).

Exclusive polling for Grist from the think tank Data for Progress shows that 58 percent of likely U.S. voters believe that the warming climate will hinder their ability to achieve or maintain the American Dream over the next 20 years — including 42 percent of Republicans.
The strongest factor? Cost of living. More than half of voters are very worried about climate change making life more expensive over the next 20 years, according to the poll. That’s higher than the share of voters who reported being worried about extreme weather.
When participants were asked to choose between phrases that captured their views on climate policies, very few of them — only 6 percent — opted for “an expensive burden on working people.” Even Republicans didn’t pick that characterization, identifying climate action instead as a distraction from more important issues or a misguided approach based on faulty information. The most common phrase respondents chose to describe their views on climate policies was “a critical step to protect our environment.”

Are we in a “super El Niño” event? And what makes a super El Niño … super?
El Niño is a global climate phenomenon caused by temperature changes in the Pacific Ocean. This naturally occurring cycle can reshuffle weather systems around the world, like hurricanes, droughts, rainstorms, and heat waves.
This year’s El Niño is already reaching record-breaking highs, causing some scientists to reach for new terms, like “super,” “godzilla,” or “gobsmackingly bananas.” Grist’s Jesse Nichols breaks down the basics about El Niño, and what this one could mean for a world already dealing with climate impacts like heat and drought.
