About CO₂ Chronicles
CO₂ Chronicles is Louisiana’s independent watchdog newsroom. We uncover the truths behind carbon capture projects, backroom deals, and laws written for industry instead of citizens. Our mission is simple: defend our land, our water, and our people with fearless reporting no corporation or politician can silence.
