Climate Debrief

Dr. Ganapathy Shanmugam joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief and reflects on his journey from India to a long career in the energy industry. He explains the issues with closed peer-review, struggles with publishing his work, explaining the open-peer review system, and the failures of "green" energy projects.  Drawing on decades of research, he examines fossil fuels, CO₂, and climate science. He...

Dr. Ganapathy Shanmugam joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief and reflects on his journey from India to a long career in the energy industry. He defends Alex Epstiein's book Fossil Futures, Dr. William Happer's start as a scientist, the extent that crude oil has on our lives, what life would be like without oil-based products, the pressures of ESG on third-world countries, the effects of CO2 up...

Dr. Ganapathy Shanmugam joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief and reflects on his journey from India to a long career in the energy industry. He discusses his work with ExxonMobil and his experience in petroleum geology. Drawing on decades of research, he examines fossil fuels, CO₂, and climate science. He also shares his perspective on energy development, environmental challenges, and ongoing s...

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 narratives have influenced modern climat...

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. Louw also discusses feedback mechanisms, t...

In this episode of Climate Debrief, physicist and former senior scientist at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Wallace “Wally” Manheimer joins Angela Wheeler as they examine the modern climate crisis narrative through the lens of history. Wally draws parallels between biblical warnings about false prophets and well-documented mass delusions in American history, including the Salem witch trials a...

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 net zero efforts. Follow us on social media!
