Scientists Using AI: From Computational Efficiency to Climate Innovation
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Why Do Scientists Use AI? The short answer is: We’ve conducted case studies on the use of AI in a wide variety of environments, including everything from the dynamics of nonlinear chaotic systems to songwriting and musical production. All produced similar results—benefits to the environment, the economy, and society. […]

Tipping Point Season: Greenland Simplified
🌎 TIPPING POINT SEASON: GREENLAND What does a tipping point actually look like? It may look less like one dramatic event—and more like a system changing, feedback by feedback, until the changes begin reinforcing one another. That is what makes Greenland so important. Greenland has now experienced 30 consecutive years of ice loss. From 1986/87 […]
Tipping Point Season
by Daniel Brouse Introduction: What Is Tipping Point Season? The first tipping point season was 2023–2024, when global temperatures exceeded +1.5°C for an extended period. During that season, nine tipping points became observable: This phenomenon occurred simultaneously with El Niño. ENSO is not a cause of climate change; rather, it is a manifestation of the […]

Tipping Points That Toppled
When Climate Feedbacks Stop Looking Theoretical By Daniel Brouse The 2023–2024 El Niño event made observable what had previously been discussed largely as theoretical: multiple climate-system tipping processes were being pushed simultaneously. At least nine potential tipping points were being knocked or pushed toward critical thresholds during the 2023–2024 period. Two of the clearest examples […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Chester County, It’s Shocking
by Daniel Brouse A Shocking Trend: Lightning Strikes Are Surging Across the Delaware Valley Lightning is one of the most spectacular—and potentially destructive—ways atmospheric energy reaches the ground. And the trend in Chester County is striking. Over the past decade, the number of lightning strikes has increased dramatically, rising from approximately 18,200 in 2016 to […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Greenland: Gigatons Gone
by Daniel Brouse Greenland: 6,205 Gigatons of Ice Gone—and the Energy Behind It Thirty Years of Continuous Ice Loss Greenland’s Ice Sheet has now experienced 30 consecutive years of negative total mass balance. According to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), the Greenland Ice Sheet lost approximately 173 billion tonnes (173 Gt) of […]
HOW IS CLIMATE ENERGY HITTING YOU? The First Law of Thermodynamics
by Daniel Brouse The First Law of Thermodynamics and the Redistribution of Earth’s Excess Energy Energy Cannot Be Created or Destroyed The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, or the First Law of Thermodynamics. In simple terms, the total energy within an isolated system […]
