Trump’s War on Climate Science: Shuttering NASA’s GISS and Silencing the Truth
by Daniel Brouse May 24, 2025 For nearly 60 years, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) has been one of the world’s leading climate research centers. Tucked atop a Columbia University building in Manhattan since 1966, it played a pivotal role in the early modeling of climate change, helped interpret Earth-observing satellite data, and […]
Natural Climate Control Tools : Plants
by Daniel Brouse May 3, 2025 Smart Planting for a Comfortable Home: Using Indoor and Outdoor Plants to Warm in Winter and Cool in Summer Plants do much more than beautify our surroundings—they can also play a critical role in making our homes more energy-efficient. With thoughtful placement both outside and inside your windows, plants […]
Whiplash Weather: How Climate Change Is Driving Faster, Stronger, and Deadlier Temperature Flips
by Daniel Brouse April 27, 2025 The study “Rapid flips between warm and cold extremes in a warming world” published in Nature Communications found climate change is not just causing more heatwaves or cold spells — it’s making the swings between extremes faster and more violent, posing a new, poorly understood threat to both people […]
Feedback Loops: How They Accelerate Global Warming
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee In the 1990s, the Membrane Domain initiated groundbreaking research on human-induced climate change, challenging the prevailing linear models of global warming. Our research introduced a nonlinear, exponential model—akin to the shape of a bathtub curve or hockey stick—which has since been repeatedly confirmed by real-world data. At the heart […]
Tipping Points and the Domino Effect
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeSeptember 2022 – August 2023 (Updated April 2025) Understanding Tipping Points Tipping points and feedback loops are key factors in determining the rate of acceleration of climate change. When one tipping point is breached and triggers others to fall, the result is known as the Domino Effect. To explain: push […]
Deviation, Cracked Fractals, Climate, and Economics
by Daniel Brouse April 14, 2025 Cracked Fractals & U.S. Climate/Fiscal Policy The U.S. economy and climate systems are exhibiting the erratic behavior of complex systems approaching critical thresholds — resembling “cracked fractals,” those chaotic, fragile patterns that form when dynamic systems near collapse. These structures are not just visual metaphors; they represent branching futures, […]
The Demise of the Dollar and U.S. Exceptionalism
by Daniel Brouse April 13, 2025 Economic Collapse Ends the Era of Mass Consumption, Capitalism, and Fossil Fuel Dependence In 2017 and 2018, many economists warned of rising inflation and interest rates due to Donald Trump’s economic, environmental, and social policies — warnings that were largely dismissed at the time. Few believed the U.S. dollar, […]
The Race Against Time: Climate Crisis vs. the United States
by Daniel Brouse April 12, 2025 AbstractHumanity stands at a historic crossroads where the accelerating pace of climate change threatens to overtake both our capacity for response and the viability of the global economic system itself. Recent models indicate that without immediate intervention, climate change could cause the collapse of capitalism as we know it—potentially […]
When Hypothesis Becomes Theory: Trump’s Trade War Has Triggered a Global Credit War
by Daniel Brouse April 11, 2025 For decades, economists have quietly asked a disturbing hypothetical: What happens if the U.S. launches a trade war and a credit war at the same time? It was an academic curiosity — a thought experiment for textbooks, not real life. Until now. Donald Trump has turned that hypothesis into […]
