Why My Pool Is Losing Water—and What It Reveals About Climate Change
by Daniel BrouseJuly 19, 2025 One of the most fundamental principles in science is observation. For the past couple of decades, I have observed the evaporation rate from my swimming pool steadily increasing. While it may seem like a small backyard inconvenience, it’s a clear, everyday confirmation of our warming climate. As global temperatures rise, […]
