A new flagship UN report on climate change indicating that harmful carbon emissions from 2010-2019 have never been higher in human history, is proof that the world is on a “fast track” to disaster, António Guterres has warned, with scientists arguing that it’s ‘now or never’ to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. Reacting to […]

Climate Change Feedback Loops: Brown Carbon, Wildfires, and Arctic Melting
Feedback loops accelerate climate change at an exponential rate. In this case, brown carbon from wildfires warms the arctic. The warmer arctic absorbs more heat causing more wildfires. In turn, more wildfires cause more brown carbon resulting in a warmer arctic. The cycle keeps reinforcing itself as it repeats. A study published in One Earth […]

COVID-19 Delta Variant and Vaccines
By Daniel Brouse What do we know about the Delta variant and vaccines? OVERVIEW The efficacy of mRna vaccines is about 79% against contracting the Delta variant. Non-mRna vaccines are between 40-60% effective against Delta. Vaccines lose efficacy at about 3%/month after six months of being fully vaccinated. Vaccines appear to help contain the Delta […]

Long-COVID and Environmental Aggravators
by Daniel Brouse help@membrane.com Exercise aggravates long-COVID symptoms. COVID causes changes to your genes making it harder to create NAD+ and quicker to consume NAD+. Normally, exercise helps boost your NAD+. Not with long-COVID. The inflammation caused by exercise, anxiety, or exertion causes a rapid depletion of NAD+ aggravating long-COVID symptoms and perpetuating the downward […]

Climate Change: Past the Tipping Point
A group of scientists known as Polarstern team spent the last year drifting through the arctic. “The disappearance of summer sea ice in the Arctic is one of the first landmines in this minefield, one of the tipping points that we set off first when we push warming too far,” Markus Rex (one of the […]
Rising Sea Level Turning New Jersey Cedars into Ghost Forests
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection released the “New Jersey’s Coastal Community Vulnerability Assessment” ccvamp-final The sea level is rising faster than forecast. Saltwater intrusion is a current and severe problem. The United States Geological Survey reports, “Saltwater intrusion has occurred to some degree in many of the coastal aquifers of the United States. […]

Coastal Real Estate Financial Crisis
The rising sea level is putting a trillion dollars of real estate at high risk. “The question is no longer if rising seas will erode coastal home values, but who will get stuck with the devalued assets when the markets turn,” reported Dee Gill. “Alarmingly, more than half of that (at-risk property) exposure is estimated […]
