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.

‘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?

Dutch Climate ‘Hero’ Donald Pols Had Far-Right Past; Friends of the Earth Knew

Donald Pols was one of the most recognisable figures in the Dutch environmental movement. In 2021, he achieved a landmark victory when a Dutch court ruled that Shell must accelerate its emissions reductions. Following his highly controversial move to Tata Steel last month, it has now emerged that Pols was chairman of the Afrikaner Student Front (ASF) during his youth—a far-right student organisation that opposed the dismantling of apartheid. Friends of the Earth Netherlands, his former employer, has been aware of this part of his past for at least five years.

“Friends of the Earth sounded like a spoiled child in court appeal against Shell”

Friends of the Earth Netherlands recently filed an appeal with the Dutch Hoge Raad against Shell and the Mens en Milieu Foundation in a last effort to force the company to implement significant worldwide emissions reductions. Lucas Bergkamp, a physician and attorney in Brussels, assisted Mens en Milieu in the proceeding and reported on the hearing: “Friends of the Earth looked tired and sounded like a spoiled child.”
