By Daniel Brouse Teleconnections: Teleconnections refer to climate anomalies and patterns that occur over large distances and are often linked to each other. These connections can manifest as recurring climate patterns, such as El Nino and La Nina events, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Southern Oscillation (SO). Teleconnections can influence weather and climate […]

9 Climate Change Tipping Points Crossed
By Daniel Brouse March 28, 2024 Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Identifying and understanding these tipping points is crucial for climate science and policymaking. Crossing multiple tipping points could lead to a domino effect, resulting in […]

Climate Change: Inexplicable Consumer Behavior
By Daniel Brouse March 24, 2024 Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices. Inexplicable consumer behavior in […]

Shipping Pollution (Sulfur Emissions and Climate Change)
by Daniel Brouse There are several critical issues associated with marine fuel pollution used in international shipping. Shipping pollution is a global problem, spreading air pollution across the world. Historically, marine fuels have contained higher levels of sulfur due to the lower cost of lower-grade fuel oil. However, heavy fuel oil contains, on average, 2700 […]

Climate Change and Homeowners’ Insurance
by Daniel Brouse A significant factor contributing to both increased costs and decreased availability of homeowners insurance is climate change. The surge in insurance costs is primarily driven by the unprecedented number of climate-related disasters. States like California, Louisiana, and Florida now heavily rely on government aid to manage the financial burdens associated with residential […]

Climate Change Rate of Acceleration Update
by Brouse and Mukherjee Doubling time is the amount of time it takes for a quantity to double in size (exponential growth). By 2020, there was enough data to see the doubling time of some anthropogenic climate affects had gone from 100 years to 10 years. For instance the rate of sea level rise has […]

Sea Level Rise: Doubling Down
by Daniel Brouse When we authored our paper on the acceleration of climate change, we couldn’t have anticipated its rapid pace. The doubling period for sea level rise, which was projected to span 100 years, dramatically shortened to 10 years by 2020. Shockingly, recent observations indicate that this doubling period has further compressed to just […]

Costly Disasters: Hurricanes
By Daniel Brouse In the United States, hurricanes stand out as the most financially burdensome type of climate-related disaster. While the number of disasters related to extreme weather events such as rain, hail, and wind, resulting in over a billion dollars in damage may be higher, the sheer magnitude of damage caused by a single […]

Inflation Update: Auto Insurance
by Daniel Brouse In recent inflation reports, homeowners’ insurance, wages, and auto insurance have emerged as primary drivers contributing to the persistence of inflation. The inflationary pressures on auto insurance have been further exacerbated by two key factors: 1) Collision coverage: The prevalence of accidents caused by distracted driving, particularly due to cell phone usage, […]

Climate Change, Inflation, and You
Currently, a major contributor to inflation is the surge in homeowners’ insurance costs, propelled by the unprecedented number of climate disasters in 2023. California, Louisiana, and Florida are now dependent on government assistance to manage the financial burden of residential property insurance. Flood insurance will become expensive and difficult to obtain. NOAA: A historic year […]
