Earth’s Energy Imbalance: The Climate System Out of Balance
by Daniel Brouse Simplified Introduction 🌎 Earth’s Energy Imbalance Climate change can be understood in one deceptively simple equation: ENERGY IN − ENERGY OUT = ENERGY ACCUMULATING Earth has been accumulating excess energy for decades. Most of that excess heat—roughly 90%—is going into the oceans. What matters now is not just that Earth is out […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Indonesia: Still Burning
by Daniel Brouse Indonesia: Still Burning — When Wildfire Becomes a Climate Feedback Indonesia’s wildfire carbon dioxide emissions surged to the highest level in the world in early September 2026, driven by an intense El Niño season and extreme drought. As reported earlier this month, Indonesia is experiencing a dangerous convergence of climate stress: extreme […]
Oil Shipping Costs Explode: From ~$16,000 to More Than $1.2 Million a Day
The cost of transporting crude oil by the world’s largest oil tankers has reached extraordinary levels. On the benchmark TD3C route — a 270,000-metric-ton Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) traveling from the Middle East Gulf to China — daily time-charter-equivalent (TCE) earnings have surged from roughly $16,000/day in 2020 to more than $1.2 million/day in […]

Plug-And-Play Solar
Plug-and-play solar is becoming available around the world—and it could make solar power dramatically simpler and more accessible. Plug-and-play solar is part of the emerging clean energy economy. Unlike conventional rooftop solar, these small systems can be installed with minimal equipment and, where permitted, connected directly to an existing electrical outlet. That makes solar potentially […]

Residential Solar Power
Traditional Solar Installations I’m generally against rooftop solar, particularly in the U.S. Much of the residential market is based on leased systems, which can be detrimental to the homeowner, especially when the home is eventually sold. In general, I also recommend putting a new roof on before installing solar. Otherwise, replacing the roof later can […]

Known Ozone (Extended Version)
The Greenhouse Gas That Damages the Carbon Sink By Daniel Brouse Ozone (O₃) is one of the most important individual greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, ranking behind carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) and methane (CHâ‚„) in terms of its direct contribution to human-caused warming. According to assessments underlying the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, anthropogenic tropospheric ozone […]
Tropospheric Ozone = #1 Climate Gas
Known Ozone: The Climate Change Agent That Damages the Carbon Sink By Daniel Brouse Tropospheric ozone is a powerful greenhouse gas. Ozone (O₃) is one of the most important individual greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, ranking behind carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) and methane (CHâ‚„) in terms of its direct contribution to human-caused warming. But ozone […]

The Methane Feedback
by Daniel Brouse Methane feedback emissions are accelerating: methane emissions from climate feedbacks have shown an accelerated, record-breaking surge since around 2007, with a massive spike since 2020. Global Methane & Climate Feedback Trends (2000–Present) Era / Years Avg. Atmospheric Growth Rate Climate Feedback & Wetland Status Key Scientific Discovery & Observations The Stabilization Plateau(2000–2006) […]
Clean Energy Economy
by Daniel Brouse THE ENERGY IS ALREADY THERE.THE CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY HARVESTS IT. Tonight’s homework assignment: Clean Energy Economy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be harnessed, converted, stored, transmitted, and used. The sun is already delivering enormous amounts of energy to Earth. The atmosphere is already moving. Winds are already blowing. […]
