Google is allowing Big Oil to distort the public’s understanding of climate change and their role in the climate crisis.

Google’s lack of transparency and corporate irresponsibility is a wider problem – they sell search terms to the highest bidder, no matter the consequences.

Google’s role in greenwashing matters.

Google dominates the search market in the US and 3 in 4 trust what they find in search.

Big Oil is purposely placing these ads to distort public perception of their role in climate change.

It is greenwashing for profit.

Despite promising to stop profiting from climate denial, Google took $421,000 from the Competitive Enterprise Institute to run ads doing just that.

We found their ads on search queries such as “climate change hoax” and “global warming is not real”.

The 5 companies studied in this report, BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell & Aramco, who account for 14% of global C02 emissions since 1965, have polluted our search results while Google raked in their dirty money.

Greenwashing is an advertising and PR strategy used by companies to appear more climate-friendly than they actually are.

When oil and gas companies greenwash, they seek to distract and deceive the public about their role in the climate crisis.

Big Oil spent $23.7 million on Google Search ads in the last 2 years.

Nearly half of it has been spent on greenwashing ads that mislead users about their role in the climate crisis.

The ads were seen up to 58.6m times.
