Home/BlogDrRoySpencer.com has been demonetized by Google for “unreliable and harmful claims”. This means I can no longer generate revenue to support the website using the Google Adsense program.
From a monetary standpoint, it’s not a big deal because what I make off of Google ads is in the noise level of my family’s monthly budget. It barely made more than I pay in hosting fees and an (increasingly expensive) comment spam screener.
I’ve been getting Google warnings for a couple months now about “policy violations”, but nowhere was it listed what pages were in violation, and what those violations were. There are Adsense rules about ad placement on the page (e.g. a drop-down menu cannot overlay an ad), so I was assuming it was something like that, but I had no idea where to start looking with hundreds of web pages to sift through. It wasn’t until the ads were demonetized that Google offered links to the pages in question and what the reason was.
Of course, I should have figured out it was related to Google’s new policy about misleading content; a few months ago Google announced they would be demonetizing climate skeptic websites. I was kind of hoping my content was mainstream enough to avoid being banned since:
- I believe the climate system has warmed
- I believe most of this warming is probably due to greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning
Many of you know that I defend much of mainstream climate science, including climate modeling as an enterprise. Where I depart of the “mainstream” is how much warming has occurred, how much future warming can be expected, and what should be done about it from an energy policy perspective.
From the information provided by Google about my violations, in terms of the number of ads served, by far the most frequented web pages here at drroyspencer.com with “unreliable and harmful claims” are our (UAH) monthly global temperature update pages. This is obviously because some activists employed by Google (who are probably weren’t even born when John Christy and I received both NASA and American Meteorological Society awards for our work) don’t like the answer our 43-year long satellite dataset gives. Nevermind that our dataset remains one of the central global temperature datasets used by mainstream climate researchers in their work.
For now I don’t plan on appealing the decision, because it’s not worth the aggravation. If you are considered a “climate skeptic” (whatever that means) Google has already said you are targeted for termination from their Adsense program. I can’t expect their liberal arts-educated “fact checkers” to understand the nuances of the global warming debate.
Out of sheer curiosity, I would love to know how much of the warnming should really be attributed not to CO2 and fossil fuels, but to a combination of our tanking magnetic field (currently down by 25% on where it has been) in combination with the known Auroral heating that has been published as happening on Jupiter, and therefore MUST also apply to Earth.

Easier said than done.Googles platform has decided that ITS MONETARY CONCERNS are more important than deseminating the facts about GW.Ef them
Well said.An oversite group that fines any platform that inhibits free speech would be an excellent idea.

What’s up colleagues, how is the whole thing, and what you desire to say
about this paragraph, in my view its really remarkable designed for me.
I really like it when individuals get together and
share thoughts. Great website, continue the good work!
Google, improving its algorithms, is trying to fight fiercely against paid links and in particular began to warn news sites. In their opinion, advertising sites most often use SEO and Pr information to fill their sites. Google and the news sites, especially the financial ones, like https://tradecrypto.com are starting their war, which will surely be won by the search engine. To date, the network has already provided information that the service GoogleNews will be removed from all sites, which will be determined by the use of SEO or Pr information.
Good day! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay.
I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.

This is a very nice blog that I will definitely come back to more times this year! Thanks for the informative post.
S0 The climate is fine we will starve 0r be p0isned by p0luti0n in c0mf0rtable temperatures. Just because y0u have an 0pini0n even an educated 0pin0n d0sent make it true. I say that f0r b0th sides 0f this argument. If we get a well aimed s0lar flare t0mm0r0w it w0nt matter either way. Regardless 0f wh0 is right 0r wr0ng f0ssil fuel w0nt last f0rever. Ive seen the trash dumps 0f d0nated cl0thing in third w0rld c0untries first hand. The 0ld tech m0untains full 0f t0xic materials. The fact that new b0rn babies are b0rn with tefl0n in them. But at least the weather will be nice. Just s0 y0u kn0w I hate g00gle. I believe that if a website is 0ffering inf0 presented as fact a c0mpany with as much influence as g00gle sh0udnt be putting ads 0n it. Just like faceb00k sh0udnt be able t0 decide what c0ntent it sh0ws. When a private c0mpany can reach and influence 100s 0f milli0ns 0f pe0ple the laws sh0uld be a little different f0r them.
My 0 butt0n is br0ken s0 I use the zer0.S0rry
Al0t 0f great ideas started as unpr0vable the0ry that pe0ple hated. The earth n0t being the center 0f the s0lar system being 0ne. Hell creati0n and ev0luti0n are b0th the0ries. If s0me0ne had irrefutable pr00f 0f n0 climate change Im pretty sure they w0uld have the n0bel.
S0 maybe d0n’t st00p t0 the level 0f calling pe0ple names. Als0 its a fact that pe0ple gravitate t0wards what they want t0 believe. Pe0ple that have a little belief 0nly need t0 see a small am0unt 0f supp0rt t0 bec0me fanatical believers. Humans search f0r things that fit their feelings and feel c0mf0rtable. Be nice t0 each0ther we are all we’ve g0t.
