Google closes adsense account because of global warming
 

A friend of mine ran a blog that had news and information that discredited global warming. Within weeks after it had started to become popular by being featured on Digg and other social sites Google canned his adsense account with NO email notice.

Google owed him a mere $200 but because one of their employees political views they canned the account.

What's the site?

How do you know that was the reason?

Reminds me of alexchiu.com, the crazy guy who thinks google banned (deindexed not adsense) him because the powers that be don't want people to know about his immortality device. He forgets to mention the shit load of hidden text he has on the same website :1orglaugh Someone please buy that guy SEO for Dummies.

google must be becoming anti-american

Please tell me why they would ban this site then smartypants

people still don't believe that global warming is real?
wow
i guess some people probably still think the world is flat

:upsidedow earth is a wacky, wacky place :upsidedow

Maybe he violated something in the agreement? Nobody takes time to read them anyway, so maybe he was unaware of something.

Yeah I think he forgot to abide by rule #243

243. Thou shalt not promote anti-hippie views in a blog format. Blog subjects must only advance the pro-hippie agenda.

Yeah when I said 'someone buy that guy SEO for dummies' I was referring to Alex Chui.

But why would the adsense account be blocked on that site? Could be:

a) Invalid Clicks - click attack by someone who believes in global warming and hates your friend for saying otherwise.

b) Chronically low quality traffic, in which case google would just claim Invalid clicks.

*shrug* who knows, all i know is the ad-networks can do what ever they like and claim click-fraud. I lost $5000 over that bullshit.

Sounds like a lot of assumptions there. But if it makes him feel better.

I bet you thats the case right there. Time for me to get a little payback at some liberal sites.

You dont believe in Global Warming? LOL, man you never fail to amaze me dude.

I personally dont believe humans contribute that much to global warming, global warming and cooling is a cyclic event.

dude.. spend your time on something constructive
too many people wasting too much time being destructive
don't lower yourself to that level

Well, the cached copies are no help (apparently this happened before March 8th), and google shows zero backlinks, so that doesn't help either. There is potential for violation on things like "ads too closely match the site (color and font)" or "too many ad units per page" if he was trying to spike posts for redistribution.

Interestingly, according to Alexa, 100% of the traffic is from the US. That is (especially based on the amount of traffic reported) an almost impossible stat. There may be an issue where the traffic sources twigged off google's tracking system.

I agree. Global warming is total bullshit.

Before I believe humans are causing it, I want to see records of the last 500,000 years of weather data to show that we are beyond a reasonable doubt causing warming that would not be happening otherwise.

That blog looks like every other blog out there, Google gives you the tools to colorize your ads to match your site so I doubt it has to do with that. Also the 100% english from Alexa is funny, although you claim thats impossible it actually isnt I frequently send non-US traffic elsewhere on some of my more porfitable blogs. Non-US traffic is shit anyways.

ya think blasting holes in the ionosphere could have an effect on the planet?
is that even possible?

i do think that there are warming and cooling cycles
but if you think humans can't contribute to those rhythms.. think again

burning mother nature's blood makes her not-so-happy
nature has a delicate balance
and leave it up to mankind to throw that balance out of wackie

Spoken like a true american! Like one of those people who threatened to kill the Dixie Chicks when they spoke out against the war. Or one of those people who doesn't believe in global warming :tongue:

I'd be forced to disagree with you. Some of my best traffic comes from outside the US.

I can understand the need some have to embrace flawed and slanted data about things like abortion or other issues. But I fail to understand what the impact is on Joe Citizen that causes such an outrage about environmental laws. How does it affect YOU if a bunch of big rich corporations have to pay to clean up their operations. Is it going to tank the economy? Because it hasn't over the last few decades while the EPA enforced various other regulations.

For example, new coal burning power plants built by a certain contractor (can't recall the name) are equipped to run at almost zero negative emissions due to reclamation devices that process CO2 and other coal waste. However it's not yet required by law that companies use this technology. The plants have all been retrofitted with it anyhow 'in case'. So what is the cost to big business there? Next to nothing, it's a few thousand dollars per unit to retrofit. Just like the cost of adding exhaust recycling units to city busses was around $100 per unit, but it wasn't done across the country due to failure to enact laws to require it.

So who loses here? The argument that the poor Africans burning fires in their huts are the ones suffering from alternative energy legislation is total BS. Those countries can't provide basic services to their populations but CO2 from fires is a big threat to their famine-stricken, disease-ridden existences?

So I ask again, what is it about environmental protection (saving plants and wlidlife) that you find so objectionable? What is it about having big billion-dollar corporations pay to make your cars cleaner or your power cleaner that you find such a violation of your morals? You'd rather breathe in the smog in Los Angeles with impunity?

Whether global warming is caused by cars and cows, or Mother Nature, the bottom line is that humans DO contribute to it. Arguing about who got the math wrong on the CO2 equation doesn't change the fact that we are undeniably polluting the atmosphere. Even if the main benefit we get from changing our lifestyles is that we breathe cleaner air and our children end up with less birth defects, who cares?

I've never understood why conservation was such a hot-button issue for some people. If you are against it, essentially you are saying 'I don't care if animals die, I don't care if the smog cloud over my city is so bad people use masks on the street, because I would rather have XYZ than clean air and a planet with ecological diversity!'

I just can't figure out what XYZ is, and how these proposed changes affect YOU personally.

If an anti-warning anti-environment person can answer this, it will set my mind at ease.

I thank my lucky stars for that shit. It's been pretty good to ME, really.

Where did you cut and paste that shit from? You ask why does it bother people? Because its a lie thats why.

Have you seen "An Inconvenient Truth"?

Global warming is real, but there's no proof whatsoever that humans are responsible. The climate has continiously changed since the earth was formed... and will continue to do so. Small example, i live in Belgium.. we've got a small city here called Bruges (Brugge). In the middle ages Bruges was one of the important ports in Europe. These days bruges is no longer a port, Bruges is located 20 km away from the sea! How is that possible? well, in the last 1000 years the temperature has gone down. The last small ice age even started in the 1790s when one of the biggest volcanos on iceland erupted...

Well, if they were using that type of filtering, there is potential that it might have choked up a google adsense bot and pissed them off.

So, does your "friend" sometimes post here as "Splum"?

Yeah its a nice piece of propaganda explained by a politician.
Id rather trust a TRUE scientific film.

I wish that was my blog he has a good idea there. I am an SEO guy buddy not a blogger. I make my money at the direct SE level, much more profitable. :thumbsup

ok, It's true that these days it's warmer here than is was in 1987 or in 1967 or in 1907, but it's still alot colder than it was in 1787 or 1607...

Funny fact: Most countries started recording the weather in 1820-1840... between 20 and 40 years after the last small ice age started... so at the coldest moment int he last 1000 years... so it's no wonder temperatures appear to be rising to people that don't look at the bigger picture.

Right. And I'd rather trust the loads of scientific which proves your special film wrong.

That film is MADE by scientists who show you their raw data, so let me get this straight lol you trust a politician to read you scientific data compared to letting real scientists read you scientific data? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yep :1orglaugh

No, I trust the hundreds of scientists with real scientific data who I've seen in documentaries, lectures, course material, etc. And I also trust the scientist that gave Al Gore the material he used in his movie.

Scientific data is scientific data, regardless of who reads it, jackass.

Now why do you have to get all pissy about it fuck face? You just dismiss the movie in my sig? That is real scientific data as well. Face it Gore is a liar.

If the human race is the cause of global warming on Earth, why is the temperature rising on Mars too? When's the last time you saw an SUV on Mars?

Not only that, but According the National Climatic Data Center, the average temperature in February 2007 was 32.9 F. This was -1.8 F cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average, the 34th coolest February in 113 years.

My theory is this: The global warming thing is just part of the earth's natural cycle of things. At this point, natural is attempting to drop more water to grow more green plants to clean the environment up, as would be a normal part of the checks and balances that are built into the system.

The problem arises only because mankind aggressively controls the amounts of greenspaces in many areas, and as a result, nature's efforts are entirely successful. As a result, things will continue to happen until nature has enough of it's natural defences as work, and things balance out.

More water = more green plants growing = more conversion of CO2...

Enjoy.

maybe the account got pulled because it's a splog you idiot? everyone of those posts are scraped from news websites.

i agree with you on the threat of islamic facism, but sometimes you're not the brightest goy on the block.

XYZ = the freedom to ignore a problem no matter how bad it gets, I guess.


Very good post, well done. It's a pity that several here won't read it due to it's length.

every censor is bad, anyway its googles decission and i dont think "somebody told them to stop the account" :2 cents:

No I didn't ask that. I asked what the legislation and regulations that come from this global warming movement does to affect YOUR life.

As you yourself claim, it's 1 set of data that is being interpreted two different ways by two different groups of people. That is not a 'lie' it's a disagreement. My question to those people was - what does anyone stand to gain by saying that we should do nothing about pollution and harmful emissions?

I wrote all of that myself, I realize it's tough to understand that someone is capable of digesting a variety of sources of information and generating their own set of thoughts and beliefs as a result. You should try it.

The Al Gore agenda is to help the US and others reduce CO2 emissions and other forms of pollution. Do you disagree that this is a good course of action? If so, why?

It's easy to poke holes in the theories/plans of others and offer no solution. So far that's all I am seeing here.

It harkens back to the debate over the Iraq war. The US Democrats (who happen to reside in about the only country that still has to DEBATE whether Iraq is a complete disaster) poked all sorts of holes in the Bush administration's plan for Iraq. The US Repubs kept asking them 'well what is YOUR plan?' and implying that the Democrats were only seeking political gain and offered no real solution.

So I ask the other side of the global warming debate. You are a vocal minority, so what is your plan?

i think your "friend" should stay with adult. :2 cents:

Who is Google to tell someone about Copyright when their own site's are the very focus of several high profile Copyright lawsuits?

What do you think a fucking blog is dumbass lol. Show me a blog that DOESNT use news stories lol. That isnt the reason the reason is because some liberal hippie clicked on this guys links enough to make it look bad. Thats ok I just fucked a couple of liberal sites up by hitbotting their ads. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Because it costs money to our corporations who pass that cost on to consumers. Also other countries like China and India will not be handicapped by these reductions and will become stronger, which makes the United States weaker.

What "PLAN" are you thinking we need here? We already have plenty of environmental rules that make sense, many of us recycle, there are many conservation programs across the United States. Why do you think the status quo isnt good enough?

HUMANS are not causing global warming so why should we try to prevent what we arent causing?

most real blogs quote news and comment on it like the great http://www.jihadwatch.org/ but your "friend's" blog looks like it's wholly scraped content.

here's something you should read next time before you jump to conclusions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_Razor

So you are the one that is hitbotting all those global warming debunking sites? Shouldnt you be busy shooting Palestinian kids, nailing Christians to a cross or something?

did it 2000 years ago.

I really don't give a flying fuck about global warming. If, and that's a big fucking if, it is real, I'll be dead long before it happens, and then, being that I'm dead, I won't give two shits about it. And my kids? Oh fucking well. I'll be dead, and with that, comes no responsibility and no cares. :)
