By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee For decades, we have studied the relationship between earthquakes and climate change. Early in that work, there was little evidence that changes in global temperature were having any meaningful effect on tectonic activity. That conclusion was reasonable at the time. Climate change was expected to progress relatively slowly, over […]

Demand Destruction: Bad News for the Economy, Good News for the Environment
U.S. retail sales fell unexpectedly by 0.6% month over month in July 2026, coming in well below the forecast of a 0.1% increase. The data, released this morning, points to a significant slowdown in American consumer spending and a reversal of the momentum seen in previous months. Key Figures From the July Report Bad News […]

Money Moves People: Why Demand Destruction May Be the Fastest Path Beyond Fossil Fuels
by Daniel Brouse 2026: The New Economic Reality Money moves people. The climate costs of fossil-fuel dependence are increasingly outweighing its benefits—not in some distant future, but here and now. We are moving beyond arguments about what climate change might cost decades from today. Across the Western world, climate impacts are already imposing costs of […]

Integrated Climate Stewardship: The Fossil Fuel Question and Answer
Question: I use phasing out in a way that means completely ending the use and production of fossil fuels down to zero. Phasing down means a gradual reduction or scaling back in FF use over time without specifying a complete stop. Would add or alter that in any way? How would you define differntiate ‘transition […]

Rocky Rex Climate Climax
One way into discussing climate change as a whole is to refer to the water cycle, because most people learned about it at school. The water cycle is now supercharged by extra heat in the oceans. Warmer seas produce more evaporation – and that extra water vapour* carries the extra heat high into the air. […]
The Strange and Hidden Feedback Network: Chaos Theory and the Acceleration of Climate Change
by Daniel Brouse Some of the most fascinating—and concerning—climate feedback loops are ones that were barely considered in climate models a decade ago. They illustrate how a relatively small change can trigger a cascade of nonlinear responses, making them particularly relevant from a chaos theory perspective. Chaos Theory and the Acceleration of Climate Change Climate […]
Earth’s Thin, Changing Atmosphere: How Human Climate Change Is Reshaping the Troposphere
By Daniel BrouseEconomist & ClimatologistMembrane Domain USAAugust 10, 2026 Our system gives no value to global commons such as the atmosphere or the oceans, because they are not seen as “scarce commodities”. One oak tree does not matter, because there are vast numbers of oak trees. Pumping sewage into the sea doesn’t matter, because the […]
Science Is Science: Confronting Denialism and Ecofascism
About Denialism and Ecofascism: Science Is Science The ObservationGlad to know you’re watching out! At the same time, this divisiveness—when we desperately need everyone to pull together because it’s a CRISIS, right?—makes me somehow deeply sad. That’s a big job right there… How do we reach those who seem furthest away from any kind of […]

Real Estate Climate Risk Models
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Background Sidd said: “frightening article by Jeff Masters. We saw some of this coming, the flood risk aint justalong the coast, it extends 100 miles inland…the water cant get out …” https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/08/the-floods-of-the-future-wont-come-one-at-a-time/ In the 1990s, Sidd and I began developing real-estate-based climate risk models. From the beginning, one of […]

Global Real Estate Climate Risk: A Multiplicative Vulnerability Ranking
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee The Multiplicative Climate Risk Formula The Multiplicative Climate Risk Formula is a real-estate climate-risk model designed to capture how multiple hazards and vulnerabilities can interact and compound rather than occur independently. The framework incorporates interconnected risks including sea-level rise, storm surge, extreme precipitation, flooding, hydroclimatic whiplash, wildfires, drought, extreme […]
