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?

Why the modern CO₂ spike looks scarier than it is
Modern CO₂ levels often appear dramatic when recent instrumental measurements are directly compared with long-term ice core records. However, paleo-CO₂ proxies smooth atmospheric signals over centuries, which dampens rapid changes. When modern CO₂ data are smoothed to match proxy resolution, today’s levels still exceed past interglacial peaks but appear far less extreme than the raw measurements suggest.
‘Green’ Ideology is a force for African Oppression
After 2030, the number of people in extreme poverty is expected to start rising again, driven largely by Africa. While the rest of the world marches toward prosperity, Africa is being forced into a trajectory of destitution. The data is an indictment of the modern ‘green’ agenda.
Women are speaking out against the climate agenda
In the climate debate, it is mainly older, often retired male scientists who are challenging the prevailing paradigm. Female skeptics are few and far between. However, this has been changing recently. Both in science and the media, women are increasingly speaking out against what they see as a frightening and socially disruptive agenda. This is a positive development.
