by Daniel Brouse Between April 1 and 4, Southeastern Pennsylvania experienced another severe weather event attributed to atmospheric rivers and strong winds. Rainfall accumulation exceeded 3 inches, accompanied by wind gusts ranging from 35 to 45 mph. Tragically, two individuals lost their lives in unrelated incidents, one in Montgomery County and the other in Delaware […]

9 Climate Change Tipping Points Crossed
By Daniel Brouse March 28, 2024 Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a domino effect, resulting in […]

Climate Change: Inexplicable Consumer Behavior
By Daniel Brouse March 24, 2024 Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices. Inexplicable consumer behavior in […]

Shipping Pollution (Sulfur Emissions and Climate Change)
by Daniel Brouse There are several critical issues associated with marine fuel pollution used in international shipping. Shipping pollution is a global problem, spreading air pollution across the world. Historically, marine fuels have contained higher levels of sulfur due to the lower cost of lower-grade fuel oil. However, heavy fuel oil contains, on average, 2700 […]

The Sleeping Giant Rages Against the Ghost in the Machine Update
by Daniel Brouse March 23, 2024 You asked: I am terrified of what the summer will bring. Yet I also wonder if enough people suffer from out-of-control heat, might it wake up some sleepers? There aren’t enough people paying attention. This is also a significant concern for me. Traditionally, we would expect to observe a […]

Climate Change and Homeowners’ Insurance
by Daniel Brouse A significant factor contributing to both increased costs and decreased availability of homeowners insurance is climate change. The surge in insurance costs is primarily driven by the unprecedented number of climate-related disasters. States like California, Louisiana, and Florida now heavily rely on government aid to manage the financial burdens associated with residential […]

Climate Change Rate of Acceleration Update
by Brouse and Mukherjee Doubling time is the amount of time it takes for a quantity to double in size (exponential growth). By 2020, there was enough data to see the doubling time of some anthropogenic climate affects had gone from 100 years to 10 years. For instance the rate of sea level rise has […]

Sea Level Rise: Doubling Down
by Daniel Brouse When we authored our paper on the acceleration of climate change, we couldn’t have anticipated its rapid pace. The doubling period for sea level rise, which was projected to span 100 years, dramatically shortened to 10 years by 2020. Shockingly, recent observations indicate that this doubling period has further compressed to just […]

Enso-Neutral Not So Neutral
by Daniel Brouse The neutral phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs when water temperature anomalies in the eastern and central Pacific range between 0.5 °C and -0.5 °C. During this period, neither La Niña nor El Niño conditions dominate, and it is sometimes humorously referred to as “La Nada”; however, ENSO-neutral is anything […]

Evangelical Christianity and Israel
If you’re curious about the driving force behind US support for Israel, it’s ironically rooted in Evangelical Christianity. Many Evangelical Christians believe they can hasten the “second coming of Christ” by bringing about the apocalypse. According to their interpretation of the Bible, this involves Israel reclaiming Jerusalem, Jesus returning, and ultimately eliminating all Jews. For […]
