I & I Editorial BoardUpdate: Is this payback? Since this article posted, Google’s AdSense added 19 new articles to its list of “policy violations.” That’s more than the total number of “violations” on most given days. Click here to see the AdSense page.
Last week, we published an editorial arguing that government data didn’t support various claims about climate change. And we predicted Google would demonetize it. We were right. (See: Heat Wave Sets Off New Round Of ‘Climate Crisis’ Lies.)
Shortly after that article was published, Google’s AdSense informed us that it had “disabled ad serving” on that page because the article contained “unreliable and harmful claims.” (We have one spot on our pages for AdSense ads, mostly to track Google’s efforts to demonetize content. See the list of related editorials below.)
So what was “unreliable” or “harmful” about that editorial? Google doesn’t say. It just says we have to “fix” it if we want their ads to run on that page.
What we can say is that Google has effectively labeled official government data as “unreliable and harmful,” since all the evidence we provided was from official sources.
The editorial pointed out that claims about more frequent heat waves, tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires – claims that get repeated ad nauseam by the mainstream press and by climate activists – are not supported by the official data.
We included charts and cited the sources of the data – sources such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Interagency Fire Center, the government-run GlobalChange.gov, etc.
Here’s how Google defines “unreliable and harmful.”
It’s the last line that Google uses to censor any content that doesn’t toe the climate “crisis” line.
Anything that “contradicts authoritative scientific consensus” just means whatever the climate change fanatics say it means, since there is in truth no “consensus” about many of the claims made about global warming.
In truth, the very notion of an “authoritative scientific consensus” violates the basic principle of science.
“Doubt in science is a feature, not a bug,” notes an article in Scientific American. “Indeed, the paradox is that science, when properly functioning, questions accepted facts and yields both new knowledge and new questions — not certainty,”
Imagine if Google had been around when Einstein contradicted the “authoritative scientific consensus” about Newtonian physics.
Or when Copernicus contradicted the “authoritative scientific consensus” that the Sun revolved around Earth.
Or when, in 1543, Andreas Vesalius challenged the “authoritative scientific consensus” about human anatomy that had been in place for 1,300 years.
What Google is doing here (supposedly on behalf of advertisers who use its ad network) isn’t protecting the public against false information – it is attacking true information that undermines climate change dogma.
It is, in other words, just a thinly veiled attempt to enforce a pseudo-religious orthodoxy. Google is nothing more than a 21st-century version of the Spanish Inquisition.

Fight back by not using Google or any Google products.
Duck Duck Go is a good alternative search engine.
DuckDuckGo also censors, and is proud of it. They are a poor choice. I’d go with maybe brave.
I thought so to but the fact is the other search you mentioned I caught censoring even more than the other.
NOAA has turned off GOES satelites that cover North America because their coverage showed that the weather patterns have changed with the shifting poles. The north and south magnetic poles have shifted more in the past 20 years than in the past 200 years. Currently, the North pole approaches Siberia and the South pole approaches Australia. Water is a polar molecule so can be rotated and moved by a magnetic field. These moving water colecules ARE the ocean currents. Moving water molecules drag the adjacent atmosphere and are the wind currents. Intersections between Earth and Solar magnetic bands generate rain and thunderstorms. The moisture band that once circled the Earth at the equator, is now a tilted band running from just south of Alaska to Brazil. And NONE of this was caused by car exhaust nor cow farts.
I just went to GOES North America and it clearly shows all weather patterns for each region. Is there some other aspect you re f=referring to?

That’s what I’m f******referring to.
Nope. GOES still provides all weather information for N America.
Scientific American is less and less scientific, and hasn’t been American-owned in decades. SA is under a British publishing group that is owned by a German publishing group. G’s Fascism is becoming more evident weekly. It will become more blatant the closer we get to the November election.
You don’t really need to be a “scientist” to see through the Climate Change Hoax. Just apply a bit of common sense.
Which is why you/we should use Duck Duck Go. Posted about this recently on Common Cents.
But some options are:

Brave.com
Gab.com
Telegraph.com

It is because of Google’s authoritarian policies like those displayed here. I got the big red warning from Google Non-sense when I opened this page. I stopped using Google search years ago. Brave search and Startpage are both good alternatives.
Hey Mr Potato head. Stop doing business with, stop relying on, anything involving Google.
The fascist pigs at google desperately need nurturing. These sick, twisted freaks are pure evil!
I think you mean to say “Demonize”, not “Demonetize”. Better do a Google search on both terms.
Just climate change. What about truth in general?
Google is now so gummed up with advertising and nonsensical artificial intelligence prompts that it has become unusable for anything but location searches. It is in a downward spiral and it just doesn’t know it yet.
