Since filling copyright claims on material to bring more awareness to the topic of climate change is an issue, we decided to start a list with all these claims. Below a collection of such claims, will be updated so come back from time to time. Also these actions in the past caused disturbances to our operation, when our YouTube channel was shut down. We later found out that there were 4 bogus copyright claims filed.
