So if I have this correct, since the end of 2024, the following news outlets have gutted their climate desks:
CBS
CNN
Hakai Magazine (folded into Biographic after losing its namesake funder, which also lost its major funder recently)
NPR
Washington Post
Have I missed anyone lol

NPR is shrinking its newsroom through layoffs and buyouts and is reducing staff dedicated to covering both climate and science. "The climate desk no longer exists separately but has been folded into the National Desk," writes Neela Banerjee, who headed the climate desk but was just laid off.
