by Daniel Brouse When the Sky Suddenly Explodes On July 11, 2026, four distinct microbursts struck the Philadelphia region simultaneously. Wind gusts approaching 70 mph and torrential downpours ripped roofs from buildings, caused structural collapses, toppled trees, and brought down power lines across the area. Microbursts develop rapidly and are notoriously difficult to predict. Because […]

Denialism and Ecofascism
Complex social-ecological feedback loops arise when human systems and natural systems react to climate change in ways that amplify one another. Because Earth’s climate operates as a nonlinear system, these interactions do not unfold gradually — they can accelerate suddenly, compound unpredictably, and push the system toward irreversible shifts. This nonlinear, cross-regional feedback behavior is […]

Extreme Energy Event: Violent Rain
“Climate change is increasing the amount of energy violent rain events contain, amplifying how much damage they can inflict.” The physics of wind and rain are important to understand: their destructive force increases nonlinearly with velocity and is further amplified by density and mass. Even relatively small increases in wind speed or rainfall intensity can […]

Climate Change: Emergency PSA
For the basics: Climate Change Simplified * Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — which incorporates complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures are becoming unsustainable this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates of a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, highlighting a dramatic acceleration in global warming. We are now entering a phase […]
Climate Change, Circadian Disruption, REM Sleep, and the Gut Microbiome
Climate Change Is Disrupting the Biology of Life Climate change is not just changing the planet—it is changing us. Extreme heat, shifting seasons, storms, and pollution are disrupting our circadian rhythms, damaging sleep, altering the gut microbiome, and destabilizing the gut-brain axis. Protecting the climate means protecting the systems that keep us alive. by Daniel […]

Climate Change, Circadian Rhythms, REM Sleep, and the Gut Microbiome
by Daniel Brouse Introduction One of the most significant and underappreciated health consequences of climate change is the disruption of human circadian rhythms and the resulting feedback interactions between REM sleep and the gut microbiome. Rather than producing isolated health effects, climate change acts as a systemic environmental stressor that destabilizes multiple interconnected biological systems […]
Violent Rain Damage
The destructive power of both wind and water scales approximately with the square of velocity (v²), meaning relatively small increases in flow speed can lead to disproportionately large increases in force and damage. Density further amplifies these impacts. Because water is approximately 800 times denser than air, a 10 mph flow of water can exert […]

The Physics of Violent Rain
The destructive power of both wind and water is governed by the drag equation: Fd = 0.5 × Cd × ρ × A × v² where: The most important factor in extreme events is the velocity term (v²). Because force increases with the square of velocity, small increases in wind speed or water flow velocity […]
Violent Rain: Drag Physics Damage
One physical consequence of warming is the formation of larger raindrops, along with an increase in the number of raindrops falling per square foot. Momentum of Rain is defined by the equation: p = mv As raindrop mass increases, so does momentum. Part of this increasing momentum transfers to the surrounding air, contributing to greater turbulence, downdrafts, […]
Climate Change and Civilization Collapse
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 […]
