By Daniel BrouseJune 7, 2026 I saw an interesting climate story today about the future of the Jersey Shore and the growing challenges posed by sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and increasingly frequent flooding events. One of my earliest climate-related case studies dates back to the 1990s and involved the Atlantic City casino industry. At the […]

How Fast Is Climate Change Changing? Changes in Earth’s Spinning Are the Most in 3.6 Million Years
How Fast Is Climate Change Changing? Evidence for Nonlinear Acceleration Across Multiple Earth System Indicators Earth Rotation Climate Change Rate Unseen in 3.6 Million Years: GPS Precision at Stake Melting ice is lengthening days at an unmatched rate in 3.6 million years By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee June 7, 2026 Abstract Climate change is […]
Canada’s Oil Sands, Wildfires, and the Hidden Ozone Feedback
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/wildfire-season-returns-canadas-oil-sands-2026-05-31 A recent Reuters report highlighted a familiar concern in Alberta: another wildfire season threatening Canada’s oil sands region. The article focused primarily on risks to energy production, facility shutdowns, and the economic impacts of increasingly severe wildfire activity. Yet an important aspect of these events often goes overlooked. Beyond the immediate threats to infrastructure […]
Are Wildfires Decreasing?
No. Global wildfire trends are more complicated than simply counting the number of fires. Scientists are increasingly concerned about the growth of extreme, high-intensity fires, the amount of carbon released, the length of fire seasons, and the expansion of fires into ecosystems that historically burned less frequently. Did you know that major Canadian wildfires can […]
The Ozone Climate Feedback: Fossil Fuel Combustion, Methane Emissions, Wildfires, and Ecosystem Degradation as Drivers of Self-Reinforcing Global Warming
Tropospheric ozone is one of the most dangerous yet least understood environmental threats facing modern society. Invisible to the eye, it functions simultaneously as an air pollutant, a greenhouse gas, and a climate feedback amplifier. Ozone exposure is associated with millions of illnesses and premature deaths worldwide, while also damaging crops, forests, and other ecosystems […]

The Ozone Feedback Theory: Tropospheric Ozone as a Driver of Ecosystem Decline, Carbon Sink Failure, and Climate Acceleration
Abstract Tropospheric ozone is a major air pollutant, a significant short-lived climate forcer, and an increasingly recognized driver of ecosystem decline. While carbon dioxide (CO₂) remains the dominant anthropogenic greenhouse gas, growing evidence demonstrates that ozone plays a critical role in accelerating climate disruption through its impacts on vegetation, carbon cycling, wildfire activity, atmospheric chemistry, […]

Singularity: Turn Down Your Guitar!
This paper is focused on the definitions of three key concepts: runaway climate change feedbacks, Hothouse Earth, Venus Syndrome, and singularity. Understanding the distinctions between these terms is essential because they describe different stages and mechanisms of large-scale system change. I think part of the confusion stems from the distinction between runaway climate change feedbacks and the Hothouse Earth framework. A key […]

Feedbacks and Runaway
Hansen’s recent analyses provide evidence consistent with accelerating climate change and increasing climate sensitivity, findings that align with several aspects of our nonlinear acceleration framework. While interpretations differ regarding magnitude and future trajectories, the growing body of observational evidence suggests that multiple climate indicators are exhibiting nonlinear behavior and interacting feedbacks.

Climate Change: What Can I Do?
Reaching Net Zero: Practical Steps That Save Money I’ve already gone net zero, and in the process I’ve saved—and earned—thousands of dollars. Reducing your impact on climate change is not only possible, it can improve your quality of life, increase resilience, and lower long-term costs. One of the most important factors is reducing unnecessary consumption. […]

Amazon Rainforest Dieback: Emerging Risks, Feedback Loops, and Scenario-Based Projections
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee June 3, 2026 Framing the Question The Amazon rainforest is widely recognized as one of Earth’s most important climate-regulating ecosystems. It functions as a major carbon sink, stores vast quantities of carbon in vegetation and soils, recycles moisture across South America, and supports extraordinary biodiversity. A growing body of […]
