Friend,

To mark Earth Day, Google claimed to care about our planet and the importance of protecting it for future generations. In reality, Google is failing to stop amplifying and profiting from climate change denial.

In January, our research showed that climate denial narratives have been shifting to undermine the climate movement, science & solutions – and that “New Climate Denial” now accounts for 70% of climate denial on YouTube. Yet, Google has not addressed the spread of new denial narratives.

This Earth Day CCDH and a group of 23 organizations and experts have sent a letter to Google demanding the company takes urgent action to:

1. Update their existing climate disinformation policy to include New Climate Denial.

2. Demonetize & de-amplify climate denial.

3. Work with NGOs & experts to continuously update their policy to effectively combat evolving climate change disinformation.

We’ve also joined forces with climate expert partners to call on Google to prioritize our futures.

You can add your name and help us put pressure on Google.

For too long Google has claimed to be green while helping the spread of climate disinformation.

It’s time they put their money where their mouth is and stopped using their platform to promote disinformation, and their ad clients’ money to reward the cynical liars who use every false narrative under the sun to try to stop us from acting to deal with our climate emergency.

Best wishes,

The CCDH Team
