| Tell Google to Stop Letting Climate Deniers Profit from DisinformationTAKE ACTION |
| Dear Friend of The Nation. Disinformation is poison in the veins of our society. It undermines democracy, fosters division and hate, and blocks progress on the most pressing issues of our time: climate change, pollution, environmental justice, and more. We need your help to make sure that climate disinformation isn’t allowed to run rampant on one of the world’s biggest platforms—take action today. In June, Google finally blocked the Heartland Institute from earning revenue by spreading lies about climate change—also known as “monetizing disinformation,” which is against the policy Google developed thanks to actions taken by climate advocates like yourself. The trouble is, a researcher at the Union of Concerned Scientists recently uncovered that Google is still allowing climate disinformation to be monetized on YouTube. Tell Google: While your policy against monetizing climate denial is great, it’s time to fully implement it and stop deniers from making money by polluting the information ecosystem on YouTube and via Google search. People deserve facts and evidence about climate change, and deniers should not be able to profit on some of the world’s most popular websites. Those that spread climate disinformation seek to silence and call into doubt verified and accepted climate science. As a supporter of science, your voice is particularly needed to uplift this important message so that Google fully enforces its own climate disinformation policy. Please add your name to the petition today. Yours sincerely, Kate Cell Senior Climate Campaign Manager Climate and Energy Program Union of Concerned ScientistsTAKE ACTION |
