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.”

AI accurately reconstructs temperatures across Antarctica
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being applied in climate science, with mixed results so far. A new study, however, suggests that deep learning can successfully reconstruct Antarctic surface temperatures despite limited observational data. By combining sparse measurements with reanalysis datasets, the researchers claim to achieve high accuracy—offering new insights into long-term temperature trends across the continent.
Clintel President Václav Klaus warns: “No radical change in Europe in the near future”
We must not be naïve optimists about climate policy and should not overestimate the recent positive signals, like those from President Trump. This is the view of Clintel President Václav Klaus: “Nothing has changed in the European Union. We, with a background in the social sciences, cannot imagine that any radical change will take place in Europe in the near future.” Klaus made these remarks in his speech at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Klimarealistene in Oslo on March 15.
