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 […]

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 […]

Sea Level Denial vs. Climate Reality: The Accelerating Collapse of Ice Sheets and Ocean Circulation
by Daniel BrouseAugust 29, 2025 Here’s an example response you can use when confronting a climate denier—this one addresses the accelerating rise in sea levels and the collapse of the AMOC. The climate denier said to me: “What an absolute load of BS. Sea level hasn’t changed to ANY verifiable degree in 2,000 years. Sit […]

America’s Quiet March Toward Socialism: Trump’s Golden Share and the State’s Expanding Grip on Industry
The United States—long celebrated as the global champion of free-market capitalism—is drifting toward state-controlled economics at a pace few could have predicted. Recent developments reveal a pattern of government intervention in critical industries that blurs the lines between capitalism, protectionism, and outright socialism. Trump’s Golden Share in U.S. Steel Perhaps the clearest example comes from […]

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 […]
