Hi! Thanks for stopping by.

I’m Chloe Bennett-Steele, a journalist with the Adirondack Explorer covering climate change through enterprise, explainer and feature stories. My beat is broad and often intersects with business and policy, though community response to the changing climate is the foundation of my work. I also write a weekly newsletter called Climate Matters and produce a video series: “Climate Voices of the Adirondacks.”

Before joining the Adirondack Explorer, I studied science journalism at the CUNY Newmark School of Journalism. Listen to the podcast I created, co-wrote and hosted about human climate migration: What’s it like to move because of climate change?

I covered the environment, politics, protests and more for the Dallas Morning News in 2021.

I love the outdoors, kooky baking shows and reading fiction. Originally from North Texas, my favorite season is still not winter.
