The Science Behind CO₂, Climate, and Sea-Level Rise | Climate Debrief
David Burton joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief to challenge common claims about the climate crisis. As a senior science advisor to the CO₂ Coalition and an expert reviewer for the IPCC’s Fifth and Sixth Assessment Reports, Burton discusses the effects of rising CO₂ on plant growth, agricultural yields, and global greening. He examines historical sea-level records, storm trends, and the evidence behind climate predictions. Burton also questions the scientific review process and the economic interests driving net-zero policies. He argues that understanding the data is essential to evaluating claims about climate change.
