Vijay Jayaraj joins Angela Wheeler on Climate Debrief to examine the history of the modern environmental movement and the rise of today’s climate crisis narrative. Drawing on historical and environmental data, he challenges claims about worsening extreme weather, wildfires, droughts, and heat while highlighting improvements in human life expectancy, agriculture, and global greening. Jayraj argues that CO₂ has benefited plant growth and that humanity has become increasingly capable of adapting to environmental challenges. His central message is simple: look beyond the narrative, examine the data, and ask what the evidence actually shows.
