# Centre for Climate Reporting

The Centre for Climate Reporting is a non-profit investigative journalism outlet that focuses on stories surrounding climate change.
It is known for its undercover operations.

## Background

In 2023, it, in collaboration with BBC, reported on a plan by the United Arab Emirates and Sultan Al Jaber to use the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference for making oil deals. With The Guardian, it exposed a pattern of Wikipedia editing to cover up Al Jaber's conflict of interest as the owner of an oil company. In collaboration with Channel 4, employees from the centre went undercover in Saudi Arabia, and reported on secretive plans to increase oil dependency in developing nations in Asia and Africa.
In 2024, reporters from the centre posed as wealthy donors, working their way up to a meeting with Russell Vought of Project 2025. In the meeting, which was covertly recorded and published to YouTube, Vought was adamant that Donald Trump blessed the Heritage Foundation's work, despite Trump having publicly distanced himself from the project.
It receives funding through grants, donations, and philanthropy.

# Sydney Gooday

Sydney Howard Gooday (4 September 1887 – 18 July 1964) represented Great Britain at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, swimming the men's 200-metre breaststroke. Gooday finished third in his first round heat and did not advance. By the time of the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Gooday was residing in Canada. Decades after the Stockholm games, during newspaper coverage of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Ottawa journalists stated that Gooday had been the first Ottawa resident to win an Olympic event. Allegedly, Gooday won the 100-metre breaststroke in 1912.
However, there is no confirmation of Gooday at the 1912 Olympics. In July 1912, the Ottawa Citizen newspaper included no mention of Gooday. Canadian George Hodgson was an Olympic swimming star in 1912. The journalists of 1936 were confused. Gooday made many trips from Europe to Canada, but none of those voyages coincided with a return from the 1912 Olympics. According to the various passenger lists, Sydney H. Gooday made repeated trips to Canada from England: August 1920 on board the Minnedosa; September 1920 on the Empress of Britain; August 1925 on the Alaunia; and June 1948 on the Ascania. The 1925 voyage included Gooday's wife Marion (age 34) and son Richard (age 6).
Gooday's September 1920 voyage was his return from the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. This time Gooday represented Canada, swimming men's 400-metre breaststroke and men's 200-metre breaststroke. On 22 August 1920, Gooday failed to record a time in his 400-metre heat. On 26 August, Gooday finished fifth in his 200-metre heat, failing to advance.
Sydney Howard Gooday, son of Henry William and Mary Gooday, was baptised in the parish of Thornton Heath, Surrey, England, on 6 November 1887. Sydney was born 4 September 1887. According to the ship's passenger list for the Lake Champlain, Sydney Gooday, draughtsman, unmarried, arrived in Montreal, Canada, from Liverpool, England, 23 October 1911.
According to the Civil Service List of Canada, Gooday was first employed as a draughtsman with the Geographer's Branch of the Department of the Interior on 18 November 1912. According to the index material maintained by the archives of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa, Sydney Howard Gooday married Marion Grant in St George's Anglican Church, Ottawa, in 1917. Their son, Richard Sydney Grant Gooday, was baptised at St George's in 1919.
In addition to his civil service career with the Department of the Interior, Gooday was a swimming instructor for the Ottawa YMCA in the 1930s and late 1920s. The YMCA symbol is included on his burial stone.
Sydney's wife Marion Jennie Gooday née Grant (1892–1955) died 29 May 1955 and was buried in Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa.
Gooday died at his Ottawa home on 18 July 1964. According to the newspaper obituary, he was survived by his wife Joyce Sears, son Richard and brother Maurice. Gooday was interred in the Capital Memorial Gardens, Ottawa, Ontario.

He was a delegate to the New York State Constitutional Convention of 1867 to 1868.

## Personal life

   Senator Prosser is rather prepossessing in his personal appearance, being about medium in height, with an active frame, sharp, grey eyes, and a bushy, iron-grey beard; and wears a cheerful good-natured, though dignified and somewhat reserved expression upon his countenance which, at once, gives assurance of the real man.
Prosser was married three times and in 1877 was sued by Anna A. Hickey, a woman who claimed he proposed but refused to marry her. In 1834, he married Lucy Wilbur, and they had four children, including:
* Henry Wilbur Prosser, who married Anna Fay.

* Harriet Prosser (1836–1909), who married to Chief Judge William C. Ruger.

After the death of his first wife, he married Kate Muldary, a native of Brooklyn, New York. They lived at 786 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. In 1880, Kate committed suicide by jumping from the roof of a five-story tenement at 430 East 14th Street in New York City. He married, thirdly, to Mary A. Finnegan of Buffalo.
