YouTube and Google to Stop Monetizing “Climate Change Deniers”

Google and YouTube have made the decision to “stop monetizing content with creators that deny climate change.” This means those who make money (sometimes make their living) off their content via ads and creator payments will no longer be able to do so if they question the narrative when it comes to the issue of catastrophic, man-made climate change.

Reportedly, “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.” In other words—question the narrative and big tech will make sure you can’t make a living! So, if we were to say that one has to believe in the true history of world as given in the Bible and understand the effects of the global flood and the ice age it generated as being a major cause of climate change, we could also be targeted. And if we were to quote Genesis 8:22 as true, we could also be targeted: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22).

Google claims they are “making these changes in response to frustration from advertisers and content creators about their messages appearing alongside climate denialism.” But, based on their history of censoring anything they don’t like, it’s not a stretch to say de-monetizing these videos is meant to decrease the amount of content that they disagree with and to help make sure no one sees it.

Censorship of a conservative worldview or of an interpretation that disagrees with the mainstream narrative is only going to increase.

Censorship of a conservative worldview or of an interpretation that disagrees with the mainstream narrative is only going to increase. Christians, in particular, are going to be pushed off these platforms as the world becomes more anti-God and anti-Bible. We need to be prepared for what is coming and determine to continue preaching the truth of God’s Word and the gospel message no matter the consequences.
