A new investigation by The Guardian and Fieldnotes reveals the companies behind the effort are relying on a network of for-hire pollsters, strategists, and political money men with deep ties to the GOP—and, not unrelated, to the fossil-fuel industry.

Introducing Fieldnotes


Fieldnotes is a new watchdog organization that investigates the oil and gas industry.

Fieldnotes reveals how corporations, lobbyists, and dark money groups undermine the public interest and delay climate action. We provide journalists, advocates, and policymakers with rigorous investigative research and analysis that exposes industry malfeasance, corruption, and the inconvenient truths corporations and their allies prefer to keep behind closed doors.
