Rethinking Collapse: Cascading Feedbacks
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee July 16, 2025 Introduction The Interaction of: Albedo Feedback Loop, Brown Carbon Feedback Loop, Freshwater–AMOC Disruption Loop, Permafrost–Methane Feedback Loop, Amazon Rainforest Dieback Feedback Loop, Sudden Sea Level Rise Pulses (“Cork Release” Events), Hydroclimate Whiplash, and Arctic Sea Ice Feedback Combined Consequences These interlinked, reinforcing feedbacks can: * Drive […]
Storms, Heat, and the End of the Road: Why Steve Miller Canceled His Tour
by Daniel BrouseJuly 17, 2025 Steve Miller has canceled all upcoming tour plans, citing the escalating threat of climate-driven natural disasters as making the risk “unacceptable” for his band, crew, and fans. The Steve Miller Band was set to launch a 28-date U.S. tour on August 15 in Bethel, New York. Instead, Miller announced Wednesday […]
The Optimism Paradox: Climate Collapse vs. Capitalism Collapse
by Daniel BrouseJuly 16, 2025 The future forecast is, paradoxically, more optimistic than it has been in decades—but not for reasons most would celebrate. The Brutal Climate Reality The reality is that most humans will not survive the climate collapse if we continue on our current path. We are likely facing a future where 90% […]
Wetlands at the Edge: Climate, Collapse, and a $39 Trillion Warning
The global destruction of wetlands—which sustain fisheries, agriculture, water purification, and flood control—could result in the loss of $39 trillion in economic benefits by 2050, warns the Global Wetland Outlook 2025 from the Convention on Wetlands. Wetlands are disappearing faster than any other ecosystem on Earth. Since 1970, the world has lost 22% of its […]
Where Will Be Safe? The Future of Human Habitation on a Rapidly Collapsing Earth
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeJuly 15, 2025 Q: Where will be safe to live in the coming years as climate change accelerates? Great question. The simple answer is: “Underground.” The habitability of Earth’s surface will become increasingly complicated as tipping points and cascading system failures accelerate. For the next 30 years, it will likely […]
Nine Tipping Points Crossed: The Domino Collapse of Earth’s Climate Systems
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee July 13, 2025 Human-induced climate change has now crossed at least nine critical tipping points, each triggering irreversible shifts in the Earth’s climate system. These tipping points are not isolated; they are interconnected, and their cascading effects amplify each other in a self-reinforcing feedback loop that accelerates global climate […]
Tipping Cascades: The Nonlinear Dominoes of Climate Collapse
by Daniel Brouse July 14, 2025 My latest deep reflection has centered on how tipping points have triggered self-sustaining feedback loops in the climate system. We knew this was coming—and it is now here. Luckily, I was prepared for that part. What I could not fully envision in my mind’s eye was how the interplay […]
The Coming Treasury Flood: Why Rates May Stay High for Years
by Daniel Brouse July 14, 2025 More than $1 trillion in U.S. short-term Treasury bills are expected to flood the market over the next 18 months following the latest debt ceiling increase, as the Treasury moves to replenish its depleted cash balance while continuing to fund the country’s massive fiscal deficit. This is exactly the […]
When “Privatization” Means Control: The Pentagon’s Quiet Takeover of MP Materials
by Daniel Brouse July 10, 2025 The U.S. Department of Defense has begun taking over a private company, MP Materials, in a move that raises red flags for anyone concerned about the creeping merger of state and corporate power. While the government claims to champion “free markets” and “privatization,” it is now directly intervening to […]
