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.”

The IPCC’s doomsday scenario is dead, but not yet buried
Finally, the IPCC’s doomsday scenario is being tossed in the trash. The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant deemed the news important enough for the front page. Marcel Crok wrote as early as 2018 that the IPCC’s extreme scenario was untenable. However, the wheels of science turn slowly, and so it took more than eight years for this insight to be recognized by the scientific community.
Samuel Furfari on COP’s and climate policy: “Just blah blah”
In a recent podcast with Tom Nelson, energy expert Prof. Samuel Furfari speaks about the nonsense of COP’s and of climate policy in general. But he is also cautiously optimistic about the future: “If the next UN leader comes from Africa or Asia rather than Europe, they may adopt a more pragmatic and ‘sober vision’ of climate policy.”
