Google crackdown will affect any user contradicting consensus on climate change

The new Google and YouTube crackdown on climate change skeptics will allow for discussion of climate science but will entail demonetizing anyone who contradicts the scientific consensus, even credentialed users, the search and video giant clarified.

Last week, the search and video giant announced it will prohibit ads on and any monetization of content that contradicts the scientific consensus on climate change, which will affect anyone who wants to make host content or put up ads that refer to climate change as a “hoax or a scam” or deny that human activity contributes to climate change.
