Feedback Loops: How They Accelerate Global Warming
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee In the 1990s, the Membrane Domain initiated groundbreaking research on human-induced climate change, challenging the prevailing linear models of global warming. Our research introduced a nonlinear, exponential model—akin to the shape of a bathtub curve or hockey stick—which has since been repeatedly confirmed by real-world data. At the heart […]
The Race Against Time: Climate Crisis vs. the United States
by Daniel Brouse April 12, 2025 AbstractHumanity stands at a historic crossroads where the accelerating pace of climate change threatens to overtake both our capacity for response and the viability of the global economic system itself.

by Daniel Brouse April 11, 2025 For decades, economists have quietly asked a disturbing hypothetical: What happens if the U.S. launches a trade war and a credit war at the same time?

Integrating Chaos: New Climate Models Project Up to 9°C Warming This Century
by Daniel Brouse April 6, 2025 How can the climate breakdown and collapse of the climate system be explained through chaos theory? Great question — this is one of those rare cases where chaos theory isn’t just useful — it’s necessary to understand what’s happening with the climate system. In a nutshell: The climate system […]
Liberation (From Your Money) Day: Largest Tax Increase in History
April 2, 2025 On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump announced a series of new tariffs under the “Liberation Day” initiative, targeting multiple countries and sectors.

Although challenging to calculate precisely, this appears […]
Underestimation of Climate Sensitivity and Feedback Processes
by Daniel Brouse April 2, 2025 In the 1990s, we first hypothesized the non-linear acceleration of climate change. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis had evolved into established climate theory, now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide key evidence supporting this […]
