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 and La Niña. He argues these often play a larger role than commonly portrayed. They discuss wet meadow restoration, bird population trends, wildfire patterns, and ocean dynamics. Steele challenges prevailing narratives. He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking in climate science.

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 also shares his perspective on energy development, environmental challenges, and ongoing scientific debates.

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 to 10,000 parts per million, and the inaccuracies of modern climate models. 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 scientific debates.

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 climate science. He also discusses CO₂, climate claims, and the growing issue of eco-anxiety among young people.

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, the concept of saturation, and the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective when interpreting climate models. By grounding the conversation in physics and engineering principles, he presents a methodical critique of prevailing climate narratives and emphasizes the value of scientific debate.

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 and McCarthyism. Manheimer argues that contemporary climate alarmism follows a familiar historical pattern. He critiques failed climate predictions, discusses the real-world consequences of fear-driven energy policies, and considers whether a modern “good witch” can bring this long-running panic to an end.
