by Daniel Brouse For decades, climate responsibility has often been measured by where fossil fuels are extracted or where products are manufactured. While useful for tracking national emissions, this production-based approach can misrepresent who ultimately drives demand. A consumption-based accounting approach shifts the focus to the end user. Instead of assigning emissions to the country […]

The True Climate Footprint: Measuring Per Capita Total Contribution
by Daniel Brouse Why Traditional Carbon Accounting Underestimates Responsibility Climate responsibility is often measured using territorial emissions: the greenhouse gases released within a country’s borders. While useful, this approach does not capture the full climate footprint of modern economies because it ignores global supply chains, outsourced manufacturing, land-use change, and upstream fossil fuel emissions. A […]

2026 Climate Disasters: A Year of Escalating Heat, Floods, Storms, and Climate Amplification
by Daniel Brouse A Global Climate System Under Increasing Stress The most destructive climate disasters of 2026 reveal a rapidly changing pattern: extreme events are becoming more intense, more widespread, and increasingly interconnected. From deadly heatwaves across Europe and South Asia to catastrophic flooding and severe storms across the United States, this year’s disasters demonstrate […]
From Linear Warming to Cascading Climate Dynamics: The Evolution Toward a Nonlinear Earth System Framework
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee For decades, climate change has been communicated primarily through a relatively simple causal framework: increasing greenhouse gas concentrations drive global warming, which then increases the frequency, intensity, and duration of climate impacts. This linear model has been extraordinarily successful in explaining the fundamental physics of anthropogenic climate change. However, […]
Climate State Space, Nonlinear Acceleration, and Cascading Climate Dynamics
by Daniel Brouse A State-Space Framework for Understanding Earth’s Emerging Climate Regime Public Access Edition Executive Summary For most of modern climate science, climate change has been described as a relatively linear process: Increasing greenhouse gases → Rising global temperatures → Increasing climate impacts This framework has been highly successful in explaining the fundamental direction […]
Climate State Space, Nonlinear Acceleration, and Cascading Climate Dynamics
by Daniel Brouse A State-Space Framework for Understanding Earth’s Emerging Climate Regime Climate State Space → Nonlinear Acceleration Hypothesis → Domino Effect (Cascading Climate Dynamics) → Cascade Attribution → Climate State-Space Migration → Testable Predictions Abstract For decades, climate change has often been communicated through a relatively simple causal framework in which increasing greenhouse gas […]
From Event Attribution to Cascade Attribution: Nonlinear Climate Dynamics and Feedback Coupling
by Daniel Brouse Abstract The 2026 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on extreme event attribution marks a significant milestone in climate science. It demonstrates that researchers can now rigorously quantify how human-induced climate change has altered the probability and intensity of many individual extreme weather events. While the report focuses on […]
From Prediction to Proof: The New Era of Climate Attribution Science
by Daniel Brouse Extreme Weather Is No Longer Just Consistent with Climate Change—It Can Be Scientifically Attributed to It A landmark 2026 report from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) marks a major milestone in climate science. For decades, scientists could say that climate change made extreme weather more likely. Today, […]
What Are the Odds? An Estate Plan for the Next Seven Generations
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee When I began this journey more than three decades ago, I wasn’t a climate researcher. I was a financial planner specializing in business, economics, estate planning, and risk management. My academic background included economics, philosophy, and extensive study in physics, calculus, statistics, and systems analysis. My career focused on […]
