What If Everything You Thought About CO2 Was Wrong?
In my web browsing today, I stumbled upon a video posted yesterday by Robin Horsley, which is based on my work. I was impressed with the simple, beautiful and convincing way he presents my findings, and goes beyond them to what they mean, in just 8 minutes.
I didn’t know Robin Horsley, but the video intrigued me and I found some information he gives about himself.
His video, which is linked below, is an honour for me and I am grateful to him.
The youtube page gives the following description of the video.
‘What If Everything You Thought About CO₂ Was Wrong?’ dives deep into one of the most provocative challenges to the mainstream climate narrative. For decades, we’ve been told that human-generated CO₂ is the leading cause of global warming, driving apocalyptic policies and shaping global agendas. But what if this foundational belief is flawed?
This film explores groundbreaking research by Professor Demetris Koutsoyiannis, who argues that rising CO₂ levels are not the cause of global warming but its consequence. Supported by historical ice core data and natural processes, his findings raise serious questions about the simplistic story we’ve been fed for years. The film examines natural CO₂ emissions from oceans and decaying plant life, which account for 96% of the total, leaving human contributions as a mere 4%. It challenges long-held assumptions about CO₂’s role as a greenhouse gas and casts doubt on the effectiveness of Net Zero policies, which could cost up to $150 trillion by 2050. What if these funds could be better spent mitigating the effects of climate change or eradicating poverty and disease?
This isn’t about denying climate change; it’s a call to scrutinise the science driving monumental decisions. Are we solving the right problem, or simply following a narrative that benefits the few at an unimaginable cost?

The Case for Abolishing the EU Emissions Trading System
For two decades, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has been at the heart of the European Union's climate policy. Yet Samuel Furfari, former senior official at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy and emeritus professor of energy geopolitics, argues that the system rests on shaky legal foundations, undermines Europe's competitiveness and has evolved into an expensive political instrument. His conclusion is clear: the EU Emissions Trading System should be abolished.
The Pseudoscience behind Extreme Weather Attribution
Extreme weather attribution studies claim to determine how much human-caused climate change influences individual events such as hurricanes, floods and heatwaves. In this article, Ralph B. Alexander examines the scientific methods behind these studies and questions whether their conclusions are supported by reliable evidence.
Great Barrier Reef escapes UNESCO ‘In Danger’ listing again
UNESCO has once again decided not to place the Great Barrier Reef on its "In Danger" World Heritage List. Yet much of the international coverage continues to focus on climate warnings rather than on the broader picture of coral recovery. In this opinion article, Australian commentator Jo Nova argues that political narratives increasingly overshadow the underlying monitoring data. Drawing on Peter Ridd's analysis of Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) data, she contends that the Great Barrier Reef remains in far better condition than is commonly portrayed.
