The 2025 Cost of Climate Change in the United States
Estimating the Per-Person Economic Burden of Extreme Weather, Insurance Destabilization, Climate Inflation, and Health Impacts A reasonable all-in estimate for the 2025 economic burden of climate change on the United States is about $1.5 trillion, or roughly $4,400 per person. For a family of four, the implied annual burden is roughly $17,600. That burden extends […]

Jerk-Behavior in Earth’s Rotation: Climate Change, the Third Derivative, and Emerging Risks to Precision Navigation
“Climate-driven changes in Earth’s rotation may be contributing to navigational uncertainties that negatively affect battlefield outcomes and increase the risk of civilian casualties in contemporary conflicts.” by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Abstract Climate change is increasingly altering the physical dynamics of Earth itself. Accelerating ice-sheet loss, sea-level rise, and large-scale redistribution of mass are […]

Climate-Driven Range Shifts and the Nonlinear Acceleration of Ecosystem Destabilization
Apparent Biodiversity Gains as Indicators of Systemic Ecological Collapse Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeMay 24, 2026 Abstract Recent climate-driven ecological research has revealed a critical paradox: local biodiversity may temporarily increase even as global extinction risk accelerates. A major study published in Science examining the climate-induced redistribution of more than 60,000 plant species found that […]

The Dangerous Push Toward Autonomous Warfare
This is exactly what many of us feared when defense officials and political leaders turned against Palantir Technologies over concerns surrounding autonomous weapons systems and mass surveillance capabilities. According to critics, Palantir resisted efforts to fully embrace autonomous lethal decision-making systems and broad domestic surveillance applications targeting U.S. citizens. Now, instead of slowing the development […]

The Future: Feedback Loops and the Limits of Human Adaptation
Introduction: Bounded — But Potentially Extreme Q: What is the most likely future climate scenario? A: Accelerating climate disruption driven by interacting feedback loops. The good news is that physics places limits on the absolute worst-case outcomes. Earth is not expected to undergo a runaway Venus-style greenhouse effect in which oceans boil away and the […]

Oil Forecast: Record Highs Before Structural Collapse?
What is likely to happen to the price of oil? While the future is uncertain, the highest-probability outcome may be a period of the highest oil prices in history followed by some of the lowest sustained prices in modern history. In the short term, geopolitical instability, supply disruptions, war risk, and constrained global production capacity […]

Asymmetric Warfare: The Drone Revolution Redefining the Battlefield
Conflicts across the Middle East are increasingly highlighting a shift in modern warfare: adaptability and low-cost innovation are outpacing traditional military dominance. One of the clearest examples is the rapid evolution of drone technology, where inexpensive systems are delivering outsized strategic impact. The Rise of Low-Cost, High-Impact Drones Relatively simple, mass-produced drones—such as the Shahed-136—have […]
