Episode Description from the Publisher

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.Follow us on social media!X: x.com/CO2Coalition Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@CO2CoalitionWebsite: co2coalition.org/ Facebook: facebook.com/TheCO2Coalition/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theco2coalition/
