Summary: Solutions to the Fossil Fuel Economy and the Myths Accelerating Climate and Economic Collapse http://membrane.com/global_warming/Basic-Economics.html In this paper, Daniel Brouse argues that climate change and misguided economic policies are converging to create systemic risks that threaten both global capitalism and human habitability. He frames climate change as a nonlinear system driven by tipping points […]

Wailing into the Warming Seas
Can Whales Adapt to Climate Change? (Adaptation III) by Daniel Brouse Whales are among the most influential organisms in Earth’s climate and ocean systems. They migrate vast distances, cycle nutrients through the water column, and sequester enormous amounts of carbon. When a whale dies, its body sinks to the seafloor, locking carbon away for centuries—making […]

Extreme Energy Events: How a Warming Planet Converts Heat Into Destruction
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeDecember 18, 2025 From “Global Warming” to System-Wide Energy Overload The phrase global warming is widely misunderstood. While it accurately describes a rise in Earth’s average temperature, it fails to capture the true source of risk: a rapid increase in total energy within the Earth system. Heat is only the […]

Trump’s Second Term, Year One: Forecast Confirmed, Damage Accelerated
December 18, 2025 Executive Summary When Donald Trump took office in January 2025 for his second term, we issued a clear forecast: a rapid deterioration in U.S. economic performance driven by protectionism, institutional erosion, policy uncertainty, and hostility toward science and immigration. That forecast has not only proven accurate—it has materialized well ahead of schedule. […]

The Dismantling of U.S. Climate Science Under the Trump Administration
In 2025, the Trump administration initiated an unprecedented rollback of federal climate science infrastructure, targeting core research institutions, observational systems, and legal frameworks that have underpinned U.S. and global climate understanding for decades. The most striking move came on December 16, 2025, with the announcement that the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) would be […]

How the “Global Average” Is Hiding the Real Climate Emergency
by Daniel BrouseDecember 16, 2025 Q3 2025: Extreme Global Temperature Anomalies Autumn (September–November) climate data reveal two features that matter far more than the global average: what is happening at the poles and what is happening at the equator. Both the Arctic and Antarctic are experiencing record-breaking temperatures—warming at rates up to 20 times faster […]

Polar Bear Plunge: Will Humans Follow? (Adaptation Part II)
Polar Bear Plunge: Will Humans Follow? Adaptation Part II Daniel BrouseDecember 14, 2025 Abstract In The Plight of the Penguin: Will Humans Follow? (Adaptation Part I), I examined how multiple penguin species—despite short-term behavioral flexibility—are failing to adapt to the pace and scale of anthropogenic climate change. This second paper extends that analysis to the […]

Tipped Tipping Points: The Non-Linearity of Climate Collapse
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee December 12, 2025 Introduction The non-linearity of collapse describes how complex systems can appear stable for long periods before experiencing a sudden, rapid, and often unexpected breakdown. Instead of declining gradually, systems absorb stress quietly until they cross a critical threshold—after which deterioration becomes abrupt, exponential, and irreversible. This […]

Atmospheric Rivers, Jet Stream Instability, and America’s New Era of Climate Extremes
By Daniel Brouse — December 12, 2025 Atmospheric rivers are rapidly increasing in intensity, duration, and frequency as a direct consequence of human-driven climate change. Their behavior is now tightly linked to profound disruptions in the jet stream, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and the Pacific Meridional Overturning Circulation (PMOC). These interacting systems are […]

Complex Social-Ecological Feedback Loops and You
by Daniel Brouse December 11, 2025 Complex social-ecological feedback loops arise when human systems and natural systems react to climate change in ways that amplify one another. Because the Earth’s climate operates as a nonlinear, chaotic system, these interactions don’t unfold gradually—they can accelerate suddenly, compound unpredictably, and push the system toward irreversible shifts. 1. […]
