Google says skeptics of what the company determines to be "scientific consensus" about climate change will be prevented from making money or spreading so-called "misinformation" on YouTube, a major decision that tech experts say is motivated more by politics than sincere environmental concerns.

The tech behemoth announced the policy change in a Thursday blog post that noted the change will "prohibit ads for, and monetization of, content that contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change," and is slated to affect YouTube video creators, advertisers, and publishers.
