What Is Civilization Collapse? Humans are unlikely to face immediate extinction under foreseeable climate scenarios. Our species possesses technological capabilities, global communication networks, and a remarkable ability to adapt to changing conditions. Let’s lower the bar then to civilization collapse and define the term. Not talking about timeframes, could you explain what that term means […]

Climate Change and the Global Insect Collapse
by Daniel Brouse Among the clearest indicators of accelerating ecological disruption is the widespread decline of insect populations worldwide. Insects represent the biological foundation of most terrestrial ecosystems, serving as pollinators, decomposers, nutrient recyclers, and a primary food source for countless birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Key Takeaway: Many insect species already live near […]
Climate Change Simplified
Introduction The central question is no longer: Q: “How Fast Is the Earth Warming?” The more important question is: Q: “Has Earth ever experienced a climate change with this combination of speed, acceleration, and simultaneous disruption across Earth?” There is no comparison in the geological record. The present is revealing a system changing at a […]

Beyond Temperature: What Climate Change Really Means
Climate change is often framed around a simple comparison: How much colder were ice ages than the climate before the Industrial Revolution? While historical temperature comparisons remain scientifically important, they no longer capture the most significant feature of modern climate change. The more important question today is: Has Earth ever experienced a climate transition with […]

Beyond Degrees: Why the Rate of Climate Change Matters More Than Historical Temperature Comparisons
by Daniel Brouse Introduction Climate change is often framed around a simple question: How much warmer is the planet compared with the past? While global temperature remains an important indicator, it does not fully capture the defining characteristic of the modern climate system. The more fundamental shift is not only the magnitude of warming, but […]
Beyond Temperature: How Climate Science Shifted from Measuring Warming to Tracking Earth’s Energy System
Introduction 2023 was a record year for global average surface temperature according to the major observational datasets. However, climate science moved beyond focusing primarily on annual temperature records years ago because, by itself, average surface temperature provides only a limited view of the state of the climate system. Temperature is an important indicator, but it […]
