Google In New Content Policy Shuts Down Debate Over Climate Change In one of its most aggressive measures to date, against criticism of global warming alarmism, Google and YouTube on Thursday announced a new policy that prohibits critics from being able to monetize their content on its platforms via ads or creator payments. The company's ads team in a statement, said that content creators will be prohibited from making ad revenue off content that contradicts “well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change. This includes content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam, claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, and claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change.” According to the policy, ads and monetization will still be allowed to run alongside other climate-related topics, like public debates on climate policy, impacts of climate change, and new research around the issue. Critics slammed Google for trying to stifle debate over climate change, pointing out that the so-called consensus opinion is held often by scientists funded by grants from the same left-wing groups and politicians who push costly and unsustainable green energy policies. https://www.keneci.com/read-more-on-keneci-channels-newzbit#h.73dde65oy3ne
