The climate crisis is a symptom
We’re in a polycrisis—energy, economy, ecology, politics. These crises are symptoms of a failing system, a system which has produced a climate crisis, putting billions around the world into mortal danger.
This is a critical time for our planet. It demands critical thinking. To build a better world we must see the big picture. This project attempts to do so.
“Planet: Critical is one of my favourite podcasts.”

Climate Corruption Series
My exclusive investigations expose the world’s worst climate fraudsters: carbon cowboys, greedy elite and dangerous industry-wide greenwashing. Climate corruption is the term I coined for the financial and political corruption driving the climate crisis whilst claiming to be green. These climate fraudsters pose the biggest threat to tackling climate change.
Rachel Donald
I'm "professionally pissed off"—it's my job to be angry about the state of the world and try to do something about it. After spending my twenties bouncing between European cities and careers trying to find the most impactful job, I decided to create it. I became a climate corruption journalist and launched Planet: Critical. I’ve published world exclusives exposing the world’s worst climate fraudsters in major papers like The Guardian, The Intercept and Al Jazeera. I'm also a Lecturer in Journalism Theory at the University of the Arts London.
