Google has already been monetizing videos on YouTube this month that promote misinformation about the climate crisis, according to new findings. A report released Tuesday by the Coalition Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD) highlights 100 videos with blatant lies about the climate crisis that Google has been advertising on. The videos deny that the climate crisis is caused by greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels, despite overwhelming scientific evidence and consensus that this is the case. In addition, the report also found another 100 videos with misleading content about how to fight climate change.
