Why the CO₂ theory can’t be allowed to fall down
Director Martin Durkin and producer and podcaster Tom Nelson, both known for the award-winning documentary “Climate: The Movie“, launched the initiative GorillaScience last year. On their YouTube channel, they expose the many lies being told about the climate.

In their latest video, “3 Cheers for CO₂!”, they discuss what may be the biggest climate lie of all: the role of CO₂. The main points made by the creators are:
-
CO₂ is wrongly labeled as a problem
It is a natural and essential gas for plant growth, unjustly portrayed as a “polluting enemy” misunderstood by alarmists. -
Carbon dioxide promotes plant growth and food production
Increased CO₂ levels lead to better crop growth and higher food production — a positive effect that, according to the video, receives little attention in the public climate debate. -
Climate policy is ideologically driven
The demonization of CO₂ is not based on scientific consensus but motivated by political and anti-capitalist beliefs. -
Overestimation of risks and underestimation of benefits
The creators argue that climate scientists and policymakers catastrophically exaggerate the negative impact of CO₂, while the agricultural and ecological benefits (such as “CO₂ fertilization”) are hardly acknowledged. -
A call to revalue CO₂ in policy
The central argument is for a reassessment of climate policy. CO₂ should not be penalized or restricted but rather appreciated for its role in sustaining the planet and agriculture.
As Martin Durkin states in this short clip:
“This is a theory too much depends on. It must not be allowed to fall.”

No Evidence That Weather Extremes Becoming More Frequent or Intense: (1) Heat Waves
In a series of articles on extreme weather attribution, physicist Ralph B. Alexander examines whether observational evidence supports claims that weather extremes are becoming more frequent or intense. Following his previous article on the methodology behind attribution studies, this installment focuses on heat waves and the historical temperature record.
Professor Seok Soon Park: Climate Models Are Fear-Mongering Machines
During a lecture in Oslo on June 30, 2026, Professor Seok Soon Park, a leading South Korean environmental scientist and Clintel Ambassador for South Korea, presented a comprehensive critique of the climate models used by the IPCC. Drawing on decades of experience in environmental modeling, he argued that these models have fundamental scientific limitations and function more as "fear-mongering machines" than reliable tools for predicting future climate.
Henrik Svensmark fired by his university
Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark, known for his controversial research on cosmic rays and cloud formation, has been dismissed by his university in Copenhagen after years of internal conflict. In an interview with the Danish newspaper Berlingske, he described the decision as “a death blow” to his research.
