by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Achieving “net zero” is not only accessible but also cost-effective, providing substantial savings while contributing to the preservation of our planet. Here are some practices I’ve adopted to reach net zero without compromising my standard of living, and, in fact, surpassing it in an effort to eliminate all my […]

Climate Change: What Can I Do?
Introduction to COVID-19: Understanding the Long-Term Impact
Author: Daniel Brouse COVID Science Updates COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has left an indelible mark on global health, demonstrating not only its immediate threat but also the potential for enduring consequences. This article explores the profound and lasting impact of COVID-19, delving into the virus’s role in chronic conditions and its ability to […]
Climate Change Wildfires
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee About the 2023 wildfires in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green said, “For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August, we had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That’s how- how fast things are changing. I know that there is debate out there whether we should be talking about […]
How is All Real Estate at Risk From Climate Change?
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Climate change poses risks to real estate in the United States in various ways, and these risks can affect property values, insurance costs, and overall property resilience. Here are some ways in which all US real estate is at risk from climate change: Sea Level Rise and Coastal Properties: […]
Chaos Theory: Soil, Atmosphere and Ocean Interaction With Thermal Energy and Carbon Storage
by Daniel Brouse Chaos theory emphasizes the complexity and nonlinearity of dynamic systems, and this complexity is inherent in the interactions between soil, atmosphere, and oceans in the Earth’s climate system. Here’s how these components interact with thermal energy and carbon storage: Soil-Atmosphere Interaction: Thermal Energy Exchange: Soil plays a crucial role in the exchange […]
Climate Change and How Soil Degradation Can Lead to Desertification
Why is soil integral to climate change? How does soil degradation lead to desertification? Soil plays a crucial role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and soil degradation can contribute to the process of desertification. Here’s why soil is integral to climate change and how soil degradation can lead to desertification: Importance of Soil in […]
Climate-Resilient Environment Around Your Home
by Daniel Brouse Soil is integral to our climate. What are the best methods to mitigate against climate change by providing wind breaks, shade, moisture retention, and climate control, around my home, as well as prevent soil degradation and desertification? Creating a sustainable and climate-resilient environment around your home involves a combination of practices that […]
Tipping Cascades, Social-Ecological Systems, and the Hottest Year in History
by Daniel Brouse January 9, 2024 Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. Unfortunately, even scientists are failing to see (let alone forecast) the rapid acceleration in climate change. Due to their complexity, the […]
Gravity, Sea Level Rise and Surge
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjess In general, the coasts that are seeing the largest storm surges are the same areas that are experiencing the fastest rate of sea level rise. The sea level does not rise at the same rate for most coastlines. Some of the conditions that determine the sea level at any […]
COVID: Excess Deaths and Quality of Life
by Daniel Brouse December 14, 2023 Long-COVID, or post-infection COVID, appears to affect the majority of the population. For individuals that “recover” from COVID-19, they can expect a decreased quality of life and a premature death. Decrease in Quality of Life Known chronic conditions resulting from a COVID infection include: Permanent Organ Damage, Persistent SARS-CoV-2 […]
