by Daniel Brouse Humans are part of nature. Yet much of modern society has become fundamentally out of balance with the natural world that sustains us. The energy imbalance is the cause of climate change. Human activity has disrupted the Earth’s natural energy balance, creating an accelerating accumulation and redistribution of energy throughout the climate […]

Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism, and Climate Change Denial
Simplified Introduction Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism & Climate Change Denial A new 2026 study by sociologist S. L. Perry finds a significant negative association between verbal cognitive ability and Christian nationalist beliefs in the United States. That finding raises an important question: What does cognition have to do with climate change denial? Climate science is […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Disruption in Penn’s Sylvania
by Daniel Brouse Pennsylvania’s forests are being disrupted by accelerating seasonal expansion—the lengthening of warm-season conditions into spring and autumn. The change is doing more than making individual days warmer. It is altering the timing of tree life cycles, increasing ecological vulnerabilities, and shifting which species can successfully survive and reproduce. As summer-like conditions expand […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Forever Summer
by Daniel Brouse Summer is getting longer. A study by researchers at the University of British Columbia found that, between 1990 and 2023, summer-like conditions across the regions between the tropics and the polar circles expanded by roughly six days per decade. That rate is substantially faster than earlier estimates. The researchers did not define […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Swiss Alps: Fare Thee Well?
by Daniel Brouse The loss of glacier ice therefore represents more than a change in scenery. It is a change in the physical infrastructure of the European water cycle. Swiss glaciers are disappearing at an extraordinary rate. The Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) network and the Swiss Academy of Sciences report that Swiss glaciers lost […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? The $13 Billion Nor’easter
by Daniel Brouse Introduction How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? THE $13 BILLION NORTHEASTERN U.S. NOR’EASTER The late-September 2026 nor’easter turned atmospheric and oceanic energy into a massive economic event. $10–13 BILLION in estimated damage and economic losses. Flooding.Beach and dune erosion.Downed trees.Power outages.Infrastructure damage.Transportation disruption. The storm demonstrates a simple connection: STORM ENERGY → […]
The Future of Humanity: +4°-7°C
by Daniel Brouse Introdution 🌎 THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY +4°C → +7°C: From Civilization Crisis to Human Survival Crisis What happens to humanity if Earth doesn’t stop at +2°C or +3°C—but eventually reaches +4°C and then +7°C? There is no scientifically established population number for a +7°C Earth. But the physical constraints are becoming increasingly […]
From Climate Denial to Climate Authoritarianism: Fossil Fascism, Ecofascism, and Petro-Masculinity
by Daniel Brouse Introdution 🌎 FROM CLIMATE DENIAL TO CLIMATE AUTHORITARIANISM Climate politics is evolving. As outright denial becomes harder to sustain, the narrative can shift from: “Climate change isn’t happening.”→ “Fixing it will cost too much.”→ “Blame the outsiders.”→ “Protect our resources.” This article examines four related concepts: 🔹 Climate denial & climate delay🔹 […]
When Climate Change Hits the Wallet: Insurance, Interest Rates, and Taxes
by Daniel Brouse What will change consumer behavior when it comes to climate change? Money. Insurance, interest rates, and taxes. Most consumers do not substantially change their behavior until doing nothing becomes cost prohibitive. For years, we assumed that climate change was unlikely to change consumer behavior in the near term. Climate change seemed too […]
