by Daniel Brouse Humans are part of nature. Yet much of modern society has become fundamentally out of balance with the natural world that sustains us. The energy imbalance is the cause of climate change. Human activity has disrupted the Earth’s natural energy balance, creating an accelerating accumulation and redistribution of energy throughout the climate […]

G7 Releases 100 Million Barrels: Will It Lower U.S. Diesel Prices?
On October 2, 2026, President Trump announced that he had pressed European allies to release diesel reserves in an effort to bring down soaring fuel prices ahead of the November midterm elections. The effort culminated in a coordinated G7 agreement to release up to 100 million barrels of crude oil and refined fuels from emergency […]
When Paychecks Lose Ground
Inflation Is Eating Into Workers’ Paychecks The U.S. labor market is showing another sign of strain: wage growth is slowing while inflation continues to erode purchasing power. In September 2026, average hourly earnings for private-sector workers increased just 0.1% for the month, or 5 cents, reaching $37.81. Over the previous 12 months, nominal hourly earnings […]
Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism, and Climate Change Denial
Simplified Introduction Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism & Climate Change Denial A new 2026 study by sociologist S. L. Perry finds a significant negative association between verbal cognitive ability and Christian nationalist beliefs in the United States. That finding raises an important question: What does cognition have to do with climate change denial? Climate science is […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Disruption in Penn’s Sylvania
by Daniel Brouse Pennsylvania’s forests are being disrupted by accelerating seasonal expansion—the lengthening of warm-season conditions into spring and autumn. The change is doing more than making individual days warmer. It is altering the timing of tree life cycles, increasing ecological vulnerabilities, and shifting which species can successfully survive and reproduce. As summer-like conditions expand […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Forever Summer
by Daniel Brouse Summer is getting longer. A study by researchers at the University of British Columbia found that, between 1990 and 2023, summer-like conditions across the regions between the tropics and the polar circles expanded by roughly six days per decade. That rate is substantially faster than earlier estimates. The researchers did not define […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Swiss Alps: Fare Thee Well?
by Daniel Brouse The loss of glacier ice therefore represents more than a change in scenery. It is a change in the physical infrastructure of the European water cycle. Swiss glaciers are disappearing at an extraordinary rate. The Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) network and the Swiss Academy of Sciences report that Swiss glaciers lost […]
