The Climate State channel was created in 2012, we uploaded over 900 videos to YouTube over the years, considerably increasing content for the platform in the climate science field, for a platform which is otherwise dominated by entertainment.

On January 31, 2019 YouTube disabled monetization for our channel, but they never officially informed us about it, never sent an email, never warned of it prior, there were no guideline breaches we were aware of, other than a couple of copyright claims, part of over 900 videos we uploaded over the years. This came…
Climate State is the leading climate change focused channel on YouTube, we host the most videos, have the largest subscriber base.

Above is the explanation from YouTube for demonetizing our channel, suggesting that we reuse content on our channel without permissions. However, we reuse frequently public domain content, or content where we were specifically asked to reuse (re-upload) it. Because we cover the YouTube niche climate science subject, the amount of footage and content is naturally…

LINK TO PETITION https://www.change.org/p/youtube-youtube-shall-not-demonetize-climate-state We think this is a problem based on the algorithm of YouTube’s AI. We usually have permission to reuse content, alter it…
