Top Google search result on climate issues is a Climate Change Conspiracy blog

I was trying to find a thoughtful ranking of the top climate changes issues by searching Google "top environmental issues"

Instead, the snippet took me to this blog post: https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/top-25-environmental-concerns.php

And as I scrolled, I noticed that the blog frequently pushes false content on Global Warming being a hoax, as can be seen here (and linked in the above blog post): https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/top-10-unbelievable-reasons-that-prove-global-warming-might-be-hoax.php

It's saddening that Google is actively pushing fringe conspiratorial content for such common searches. While I know I'm not the first to stumble on this problem, this particular instance really took me by surprise.

My impression is that the site you mention is really about making money by selling college term papers. For example at https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/essay-global-warming-... you see

"So, if you encounter a homework assignment alike and want to know more about your personal impact on climate change, the way it works or the things you can do about it, you can use some personalized help from a professional essay writing service, and get it all sorted out for you."
