The Guardian (10/11/2019)
  • According to its own website, Google has made “substantial contributions” to some of the most notorious climate deniers.
  • A prominent recipient is the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a conservative group instrumental in convincing Trump have the US abandon the Paris Accord (UN agreement between countries to limit pollution).
  • While Google supports the Paris Accord, a spokesperson claims it also supports conservative groups that advocate for “strong technology policies” and promote deregulation.
  • “When it comes to regulation, Google has to find friends wherever”.
