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.”

What’s Up With The Endangerment Finding Litigation?
Is the Court of Appeals going to delay the appeal about the Endangerment Finding, so that it can’t be decided by the Supreme Court until after Trump has left office? If that occurs, it would give a potential incoming Democratic administration in 2029 the ability to reverse course on the regulations, says Francis Menton.
No, New York Times, Climate Change Is Not Making Tennis Players Ill
In this article, climate researcher and writer Linnea Lueken examines claims by The New York Times that climate change is making tennis players ill during the French Open. She argues that player health, tournament infrastructure, and individual heat sensitivity provide more plausible explanations than climate change, and that a single heatwave does not constitute evidence of a long-term climate trend.
Kathryn Porter: “The whole model is starting to crumble”
Policymakers and media institutions underestimate the dangers created by unreliable energy systems and rising electricity costs, energy analyst Kathryn Porter recently stated on the Heretics podcast. But she thinks the problem is much bigger than that: “Societies entering periods of political and economic stress, often become more authoritarian. The whole model is starting to crumble.”
