The Carbon Connection: Is Rising CO2 Impacting Our Brains?

About this episode

The episode explores the potential impact of rising CO2 levels on human neurology and its controversial link to autism.

In this episode of Yeti Or Not, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial environmental theories of 2026. As global CO2 levels continue to climb, some researchers are looking past climate change and toward a more personal impact: neurodevelopment. We’re examining the data behind the "Atmospheric Theory" of autism. Is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide contributing to a shift in human neurology, or is this a case of correlation without causation?
