Blood on Their Hands: Google Profits From Climate Denial as Planet Burns

Money over lives. Google’s playing both sides. Seriously? Last Tuesday, I watched wildfire coverage on YouTube. Right below it: "CLIMATE SCAM EXPOSED!" – sponsored by an oil-backed group. Google took their cash. Felt like paying a burglar to steal your own couch. My buddy Dave – engineer, smart guy – shared a "glaciers aren’t melting!" reel. "Algorithm recommended it!" he said. Yeah. An algorithm Google built. Let’s rip off the band-aid

Activists confronting giant Google logo as wildfire projection engulfs wall

- How Google Gets Paid to Spread Lies

Simple math: Ads = $$$
/ Denier content gets clicks (rage = engagement / baby)
/ Oil/gas giants dump millions targeting "climate skeptic" searches
/ Algorithm boosts insanity – watch flat-earth? Next: "CO2 is plant food!"
/ Their "fact-checks"? Buried under 50K shares / Like whispering "fake" in a hurricane

Personal rage fuel: Researched "electric cars" last month / Top ad? "EVs BURN FORESTS!" – paid by a petro-lobbyist / Thanks for nightmares / Google

- Who’s Bankrolling the Poison?

Not just trolls / The big guns:
Exxon / Shell / Chevron – funding "doubt" campaigns via Google Ads
/ "Dark money" PACs (cute names like "Energy Freedom Front")
/ Conspiracy hubs buying keywords like "climate hoax proof"
/ Politicians pushing anti-green laws / looking at you / certain senators

- The Vicious Cycle

/ Oil execs order disinfo
/ Google auctions ad space
/ Lies go viral
/ Both profit
/ Miami floods / Australia burns / Kids panic

- The Body Count is Real

This ain’t theory / When Google lets denial spread:
/ Climate policies stall (lobbyists win)
/ Island nations drown / Farmers starve / Cities choke
/ My niece (16) thinks "eco-fascism" is real – her feed’s full of "green dictatorship" reels
/ 2025 could be hell / ’cause people believe the bullsh*t

- Google’s "We’re the Good Guys!" Theater

Their PR spin:
"We ban harmful content!" (…after it trends for 3 weeks)
"We fund climate initiatives!" (0.2% of ad revenue vs. oil cash)
"Algorithms are neutral!" (Translation: outrage = profit)

My take? Like a cigarette company sponsoring a cancer walk / Last quarter / They released a "Sustainability Pledge" / While approving ads for a coal mine expansion / Priorities!

- Starving the Beast: How You Fight Back

  1. Visual Urgency
    / **HIT ADVERTISERS** hits like a protest chant

  2. Arrow Symbol →
    Visually pushes readers to take action now

  3. Embedded Explanations
    Keeps context (plants trees / no tracking) without breaking rhythm

  4. "Bonus Rage-Saver"
    Secret weapon phrasing – implies insider hack

Full Integration:

INSTALL AD-BLOCKERS
Ublock Origin / hurts revenue / badly

DEMAND LAWS
Scream at reps → "Repeal Section 230 immunity for paid disinfo!"

  1. INSTALL AD-BLOCKERS: Ublock Origin hurts their revenue / Badly

  2. DEMAND LAWS: Tell reps: "Repeal Section 230 immunity for paid disinfo!"

- Why "Silence = Complicity"

Google’s excuse? "We’re just a platform." / Bull /
/ They design algorithms for addiction (disinfo = clicks)
/ They auction ad space to liars
/ They lobby against regulations / To protect profits

Not ignorance / Greed

- Your Move, Human

Look – I get despair / Draft one of this? Rantier than a bad stand-up set / But we’ve shifted giants:
/ Facebook’s antivax problem? Public pressure forced changes
/ Tobacco ads? Banned

Where do YOU see climate lies?
YouTube holes? Uncle Bob’s shares? Shady "news" sites?
Spill in comments – Expose the worst / Make Google choose: Blood money or soul
