Climate Tipping Points and Cascading Feedbacks: Assessing the Current State of Earth’s Critical Climate Systems (2026 Review) Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee June 2026 Abstract Climate change is no longer characterized solely by gradual increases in global temperature. A growing body of observational evidence demonstrates that multiple components of the Earth system are approaching—or in […]

Tipping Point Status
Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect Feedback Loops → Tipping Points → Acceleration → Domino EffectFeedback loops amplify climate change and can push interconnected Earth systems past critical tipping points. As tipping points are crossed, they can trigger additional feedback loops and destabilize other climate systems. This cascading “Domino Effect” compresses timescales, accelerates change, and increases the risk […]
The Full Economic Burden of Climate Change in the United States
Beyond Point Estimates: An Ensemble-Based Probabilistic Framework for Estimating the Full Economic Burden of Climate Change in the United States Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Abstract Traditional estimates of climate damages generally report single-value estimates or narrow ranges that fail to capture the cascading uncertainty inherent in coupled human-natural systems. Climate change is not a […]

Addendum: Distinguishing the Benefits of Energy from the Costs of Fossil Fuel Combustion
A common criticism of climate damage accounting is that it focuses on the costs of fossil fuels without acknowledging the benefits they have provided to modern civilization. This criticism conflates two distinct concepts: the benefits of energy and the benefits of burning fossil fuels. This paper does not argue that reliable energy, transportation, heating, cooling, […]

Quantifying the Climate Tax: The Full Ledger of Harm
Macro-Welfare Frameworks vs. Economic Justice Valuation in the United States Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee I. Introduction A. Research Problem Climate change imposes large and growing costs on the United States, yet there is still no centralized national ledger that captures the full burden in a unified way. Conventional economic indicators—especially GDP, insured losses, and […]

The Welfare Cost of Climate Change in the United States
A Per-Capita Estimate of Mortality, Morbidity, and Life-Expectancy Loss in 2025 Daniel Brouse and Siddhartha MukherjeeJune 2026 Abstract: Climate Welfare Accounting Framework (CWAF) Climate change is often discussed in terms of physical damages, disaster losses, or aggregate effects on GDP. Those measures are important, but they understate a central reality: climate change is also a […]

“Jellyfish” Drone Swarm Report Sparks Intelligence Debate Over Iranian Autonomous Warfare Claims
A newly surfaced U.S. military intelligence debriefing from a downed F-15 pilot has ignited debate within defense and intelligence circles after describing what appears to be a highly synchronized Iranian drone formation operating as a single coordinated system during combat operations over Iran in April. According to a report published June 23, 2026, the pilot […]

The Acceleration of U.S. Climate-Linked Economic Burden (1890–2040 Projection)
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee This paper estimates the long-run evolution of U.S. climate-related economic burdens and finds strong evidence of nonlinear acceleration. Using a reconstructed baseline in the late 19th century and an integrated 2025 estimate of approximately $1.5 trillion annually in climate-attributable economic losses, we estimate that the effective doubling time of […]

The 2025 Cost of Climate Change in the United States
Estimating the Per-Person Economic Burden of Extreme Weather, Insurance Destabilization, Climate Inflation, and Health Impacts A reasonable all-in estimate for the 2025 economic burden of climate change on the United States is about $1.5 trillion, or roughly $4,400 per person. For a family of four, the implied annual burden is roughly $17,600. That burden extends […]

America’s Greatest Climate Risks
Extreme Heat, Coastal Flooding, and the Cascading Threat to Economic Stability and Human Health By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Abstract The greatest overall climate risk to the United States is not a single hazard in isolation, but the cascading interaction of extreme heat, coastal flooding, infrastructure fragility, rising property losses, and financial destabilization. In […]
