Katie is a researcher at DeSmog, investigating the role of the advertising and public relations industry in perpetuating the climate crisis. She examines the tactics used by advertising and PR agencies to help their polluting clients maximise their profits, regardless of the climate consequences. From a public health background, she has previously worked on the intersection between climate change and health, and the impact corporations have on the health of populations. She explores the parallels between the strategies used by the fossil fuel and other harmful industries, and their real-world consequences. Her work on misrepresentation by the meat industry of the climate and health impacts of red meat consumption has been published in the journal Food Policy.
