In this episode of Climate Debrief, Rob Louw joins Angela Wheeler and offers a detailed look at the greenhouse effect and the role of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. He explains how radiative transfer works, why additional CO2 produces diminishing warming, and how temperature profiles in the troposphere and stratosphere influence heat loss to space.…
In this episode of Climate Debrief, Angela Wheeler sits down with ecologist Jim Steele. They explore the concept of “zonerism”—the use of selective facts to draw misleading conclusions. Steele draws on decades of field research in the Sierra Nevada. He explains how local environmental changes matter. He also highlights natural climate cycles like El Niño…

Dr. Daniel Nebert joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief to discuss his unexpected path into the climate debate. He is a physician-scientist, geneticist, and retired professor of environmental health at the University of Cincinnati. Over his career, he has published more than 660 scientific papers. In this episode, Dr. Nebert explains why he believes media…
In this episode of Climate Debrief, Angela Wheeler speaks with Ronald Stein, professional engineer and energy consultant, about the growing gap between climate goals and industrial reality. They examine COP30, renewable energy mandates, and the limits of wind and solar power. Stein explains the material dependence of modern society on fossil fuels and questions whether…
In this episode of Climate Debrief, Ed Hoskins joins Angela Wheeler to explain the concept of CO₂ saturation. He argues that the warming effect of carbon dioxide decreases as levels rise. He says future increases will have only a small impact on temperature. Hoskins also discusses global greening, energy policy, and the economic costs of…
