Guest essay by Eric Worrall
The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on the Climate Crisis has demanded Google demonetize climate skeptics, and provide education to millions of people who have been exposed to “dangerous misinformation”.
If the letter is not readable on your device, the original link is available here.
The key actions demanded:
- Stop promoting climate denial and climate disinformation videos by removing them immediately from the platform’s recommendation algorithm.
- Add ‘climate misinformation’ to the platform’s list of borderline content
- Stop monetising videos that promote harmful misinformation and falsehoods about the causes and effects of the climate crisis.
- Take steps to correct the record for millions of users who have been exposed to the climate misinformation on YouTube.
The people who wrote that letter seem to believe ordinary people are too stupid to figure things out for themselves; they think voters have to be guided into making acceptable choices, by experts like the Democrat majority members of The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.
Update(EW): Elizabeth Warren has just announced criminal penalties for tech companies which spread “disinformation”, if the purpose of that alleged disinformation is judged to voter suppression.

Climate change is the world’s greatest scam of human civilization.
The world never faced such organised manipulations in human history. So many great scientists are involved and history will never forgive them. World’s top leaders please investigate that into more details and trash that organised manipulation. The second-grade climate scientists are now promoted and taken all control. Our urge to top politicians and first-grade scientists is to take urgent action.
If, from their home screen, you google “Watts Up With That”, you will get a taste of their bias on the right hand side bar.
I list 350+ skeptical videos at http://ccdedu.blogspot.com, including a Lindzen collection at

Sorted by length.
Their recommendation percentages sound like YouTube is discriminating against skeptics already. There are well over 1000 skeptical videos on global warming and climate change. I doubt there are that many more by alarmists.
Avaaz.org is funded 100% by globalist George Soros.
Soros failed to stop Brexit. He is terrified his globalist vision is being destroyed. The global warming fraud has nothing to do with the climate. It is globalism and world government writ large. Soros is panicking because his great ruse to use Thunberg to bounce the world’s leaders into his globalist vision has failed and this is an act of desperation – to gag the growing number of people that can see through his machinations. This effort will have no effect. Google already censors, demonetizes and memory holes thousands of websites and YouTube channels and millions of comments and contributions of content makers who speak the truth about the climate.
My defence diary quote for today comes from the late, great Martin Luther King: “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity”. Seems to be particularly appropriate for the entire climate change alarmist industry.
Control the thought process and you control the people…
They have a huge start already through the propaganda and intolerance for independent thought at schools. The problem is some people are just too smart and “discover” reasons to begin doubting the liberal story line. So you need to attack the distribution channels of information so that also is controlled – hence shut down the Internet as a vehicle to learn for one’s self and use it instead to reinforce the liberal agenda. What better way to start then to control information distribution centers like Google.
China is already further along this path. These are Socialist ideals/ The government needs control over its governed.
I keep thinking the liberals only have 10 more years and Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) falls apart, but I keep underestimating how easy it is to deceive most people. I though by 2010 people would figure it out, and then by 2020. Nope, most people seem to still believe the story line despite the repeated failures to get any predictions correct. (Well, except for “it will be warmer in some places, and colder in others; wetter some places and dryer in others” which is about the quality of prediction you get from a fortune cookie)
The story line that CO2 controls climate is DEAD. People are just too lazy to figure it out on their own.
Unfortunately, i expect google to soon be in full compliance.
Next the five main social Internet medias become nationalized and run by GMOT (Green Ministry Of Truth).
I had a comment to make but it has already been said here and so much more. Thank you all.
Nature, we await your intervention…….
Um what climate crisis? I have been an operational meteorologist for going on 35yrs. This sick sick politically driven idiocy has ZERO basis in science. Is the climate fluxing a bit here and there over the past 30yrs? Sure, but it’s pretty difficult to notice and well within any flux that has occurred before. Some warming. CO2 is rising to ideal levels? Big deal! Climate never has and never will be static. Ugh…I am just so frustrated with this sickness I’m ready to tune out and go live at my lake cabin until the day I die. Leftist-marxist pigs are driving this whole charade. Eff em!!
Don’t use Google, use ‘ DuckDuckGo ‘
We’ve used it for 2yrs no ads, no tracking, brill
Read all about it…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo
I use it but didn’t google buy it out?
No, but in 2018 …
https://uk.pcmag.com/news/118778/duckduckgo-acquires-duckcom-from-google
Additional use Linux and Tor browser and don’t use a main stream mail.
The Duck is pretty much a failure at finding what I want. I end up going back to Google, Bing, Info, etc.
I have never had DDG not find plenty of search results, and without all the fake result ads googly vomits forth.
There has been hundreds of reports of scaremongering by the MSM,false predictions,climate models wrong ect ect, the article I reproduce acknowledges this ,particularly at the high end of global warming temperatures ,although it’s still our fault, I’ve no doubt the climate lobby have been backed into a corner with there scaremongering ,now doing there damage limitation exercise.

For those who are keeping track, the on-point phrase has evolved in a very telling way:
1. Global Warming -> 2. Climate Change -> 3. Climate Crisis
Over a few years, all of the above have been used to describe the same weather events and transform them into some kind of cringe worthy information. Most people could care less, but daily bombardment of this climate propaganda has had an effect on the young and under educated through there equally under educated teachers.
As the the debate devolves into ideology the basic appeal for true scientific integrity is slowly slipping away.
The elected see new revenue sources and eagerly support idiotic policies such as the carbon tax.
We are rapidly approaching a new Dark Age, where critical thinking is suppressed and use of the scientific method censored.
This will become a very painful time. The Fourth Turning has been very prescient.
Some extreme left in Australia have been admiring the Chinese social credit system, if a citizen strays from the official line they are ostracised have no social credits and effectively become non persons, with no rights and no permission to leave the country. I guess this is what your US politician wants, to take away hard won rights and remove these troublesome people from any contact with each other to achieve the “Greater Good”.
They really need to think about what they are asking as at some time as one day the same totalitarian Social Credit – non person thing will be applied against them. History study tends to confirm such awful things do happen when the pendulum of power swings.
strange, when I posted a claim comes up that It seems I have already said that, but my comment does not appear. what is going on?
weird..it has now, thanks
It sometimes takes a while for a post to appear. Some claim the website only updates at the top of the hour, but I have seen some exceptions to that, so I can’t say exactly what is happening, but delays in the appearance of a comment are common.
Well then, I guess that would be the end of IPCC propaganda. Apparently the Democrats don’t know much about fascist propaganda…..or perhaps they know too much.
So the Nazis step out from behind their green curtain, & leading the way is a dimbo in a dress.
This now gets most interesting. Do I get the whiff of desperation from the dumbocrats?
Exactly as with the whiff from the pathetic Russiagate/Ukrainegate impeachment circus?
Interesting times.

I attribute the deafening level of climate change hysteria to one of two things: The alarmists either are so desperate to effect dramatic societal change at any cost, or they are so arrogant in their successes that they have decided to push forward.
The “perfection” of a materialist future made in the image of the hard American Left is clearly in action here. Others have pointed out that this is largely centered on recreating the economy and decimating population to the “correct number.” This mindset truly does view humanity as a disease.
I am most confident that a combination of colder than average temperatures in North America and Europe over the next several years and naked actions to deny people gas stoves, meat burgers, and nice cars will dampen “climate action”. I finally personally experienced climate insanity when a Starbucks barista told me that French Roast coffee was no longer available due to “climate change”.

Did you know that “An inconventient Truth” contains several lies?
https://www.friendsofscience.org/assets/documents/FOS%20Essay/British_High_Court_Ruling_on_An_Inconvenient_Truth.html
Just yesterday, I have listened to a translated Russian news report about Davos and the Russian media openly stated that the IPCC has lied to us with the fake hockey stick diagram which somehow forgot the Medieval warming period and the ice age after 1600. The science is not settled. Russians agree that the climate changes (nearly everyone does), but they don’t believe in this CO2 hoax. Pragmatic people!
Moreover, biology teacher Markus Fiedler has had a closer look at the infamous Cook study and found out that only 0,54% of the scientists think that the global warming is manmade. The abstract claiming 97% support manmade global warming theory lies openly!
Ask yourself this question.
Why is the a committee on “The Climate Crisis”.
The name is a presumption that a crisis exists, so it is unlikely that they are interested in anything like a balanced view. Rather like the IPCC which is a wholly lopsided organ purely dedicated to prove the necessity of its own existence.
There is a pattern and the solution is not in the science, though some sort of smoking gun like an ice-age might have an effect. The problem is political and the ctrl-left have taken over education, media, academia and policy.
I am not seeing any effective way to fight the anti-enlightened views of the ctrl-left and their cohort. This is a truly depressing state of affairs.
Why is the a committee on “The Climate Crisis”? Because Democrats had control of House and created it. If Republicans had any spine when they take control of House they will eliminate it, and a whole lot of other useless, make work stupidity in Congress. Shear it back down to what it was meant to be.
This is only going to get worse. The government doesn’t have to remove the First Amendment when they can do it by proxy, as in private companies like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. Doing it by proxy gives them plausible deniability, as in, look, they are private companies and can allow what they want on platforms. Somewhere along the way, the Democrat party took a hard left turn toward authoritarianism. It’s frightening. What’s just as frightening is that the mainstream news media is in lockstep with these leftists. It starts like this and before you know it, there will be rewards for turning in family, friends, or coworkers, to be taken away for re-education. Every American needs to read The Gulag Archipelago. If they don’t think these things can happen here, reading this book might open their eyes. I’m sure I come across as a whacked out conspiracy nut, but I don’t care at this point. We used to grumble when they called us science deniers and we would complain about our voices not being heard regarding the science because they were shutting us down, refusing to debate, and a host of other things. That was the tip of the spear. When someone like Warren can stand and brazenly lie and then say she has a plan to combat disinformation, and the media doesn’t call her on her own plethora of past lies, there’s a real problem. We’ve been comfortably numb for a long time and it’s time for us to wake up. Geeze, I can’t believe I sound like THAT guy. The wacko. Strange times!
Dear Kathy,
Please lead by example and give up all comforts derived from fossil fuels – where you go others will surely follow … maybe.
Kind regards.

I thought they already did….Oh, wait, they bury the truth and keep the misinformation. My bad.
