The Trump tariff-driven global trade war and anti-immigration agenda are already proving to be an economic disaster for the United States. What was promised as a strategy to “rebuild American strength” is instead triggering a slowdown marked by weakening growth, collapsing job markets, rising inflation, declining wage gains, and a dollar under pressure. To make […]

Evaporation at the Surface: A Backyard Measure of Global Water Cycle Disruption
by Daniel Brouse September 6, 2025 During the 2025 pool season (May through September), water levels showed a net loss of 16 inches solely due to evaporation. While this may seem like a localized measurement, it illustrates a much broader hydrological imbalance already underway. The same processes driving evaporation in a backyard pool are simultaneously […]
Texas-Sized Climate Change
by Daniel Brouse September 3, 2025 The CO₂ Coalition released a report titled “Texas and Climate Change: No Climate Crisis in the Lone Star State,” making a series of sweeping claims: that Texas has experienced no “unprecedented or unusual” warming despite rising atmospheric CO₂, and that current temperatures are comparable to those over a century […]

Runaway Climate Feedbacks and Systemic Collapse
Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeSeptember 3, 2025 Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — incorporating complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures could rise by as much as 9°C (16.2°F) within this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates, which predicted a 4°C rise over the next thousand […]

The Accelerating Collapse of the AMOC–Jet Stream Feedback Loop
By Daniel Brouse September 1, 2025 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the jet stream are unraveling much faster than science once believed possible. What was once thought to take millennia, and later centuries, has now accelerated into mere decades. Earlier this year, I wrote about the unsettling transition from spring to summer in […]

Trump’s Tariffs Are Crushing U.S. Soy Farmers While Brazil Gains
by Daniel Brouse August 20, 2025 Trump’s latest wave of tariffs is already sending shockwaves through the U.S. agricultural sector, with soybean farmers among the hardest hit. The American Soybean Association has warned that many growers may lose their farms this year, as the trade disruptions come at a critical moment in the harvesting season. […]
Evaporation: Death by Corn Sweat
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee August 10, 2025 Introduction: Observing a Vanishing Pool I’ve been researching evaporation for decades, but sometimes the most telling experiments happen in my own backyard. At the start of this pool season, rainfall far exceeded evaporation. Then, for the past two months, the balance flipped: with little rain and […]

The Hidden Tax: How Rising Tariffs Harm the U.S. Economy and Burden Everyday Americans
As of August 7, 2025, the effective average U.S. tariff rate on imported goods and services has surged to approximately 22.38%. Historically, that number has hovered around 2.5%, reflecting decades of relatively free trade and open global markets. This abrupt increase represents not only a dramatic reversal of U.S. trade policy, but also the single […]
Understanding Urban Heat Islands: Causes, Data, and Climate Context
by Daniel Brouse August 7, 2025 Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a well-documented phenomenon in which cities and densely developed areas experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding rural environments. This temperature disparity is not the result of long-term climate change, but rather of localized factors that alter how heat is absorbed, stored, and released. The […]

Tariffs, Sanctions, and Sensibility: Rethinking U.S. Trade Policy in the Age of Climate Crisis
by Daniel Brouse August 5, 2025 I’ve been reflecting on the ongoing trade war and its broader implications—not just economically, but in terms of logic, consistency, and environmental sensibility. A recent twist involving Russian sanctions highlights how disconnected U.S. policy can be from its stated goals. Just this week, Trump threatened to raise tariffs even […]
