Description

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.

Episode 12: The Physics of CO2 Explained with Rob Louw | Climate Debrief

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.
