By Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeFebruary 17, 2026 Executive Summary Human extinction from climate change in the next century is unlikely based on current mainstream physical science. However, the rate of climate system acceleration is deeply concerning. The risk facing humanity is not runaway “Venus-style” physics. The risk is rapid nonlinear acceleration within thermodynamic bounds […]

Trump — One of the Largest Sewage Spills in US History
This is exactly the type of cascading infrastructure failure I addressed in our paper, “Systemic Infrastructure Risk in a Nonlinear Climate: Economic and Public Safety Implications for the United States.” The paper was intentionally non-partisan, so the implications may not have been obvious to some readers. But once the public narrative shifts into political blame […]

Systemic Infrastructure Risk in a Nonlinear Climate: Economic and Public Safety Implications for the United States
Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeFebruary 8, 2026 Abstract One of the largest and fastest-growing economic costs of climate change in the United States is infrastructure degradation and failure. Intensifying extreme weather events — including flooding, windstorms, heat waves, and heavy precipitation — are stressing systems that were designed for a more stable 20th-century climate. Because […]

Demographics, Automation, and the Fragility of Growth Capitalism
By Daniel Brouse Modern capitalism, particularly in its post–World War II form, has depended on growth — growth in productivity, growth in consumption, and critically, growth in population. Programs such as Social Security and Medicare are not pre-funded savings accounts; they are transfer systems that rely on a sufficiently large base of current workers paying […]
Judge Rules Trump’s Secret Climate Panel Unlawful: A Crucial Win for Science and Justice
The Trump administration’s covert effort to undermine climate science has been dealt a significant legal blow. A federal judge ruled that the secretive “Climate Working Group,” convened by the U.S. Department of Energy to produce a report minimizing global warming risks, violated federal law. This report was central to attempts by the Trump administration to […]

State Capitalism in America? Price Controls, Golden Shares, and the Reordering of U.S. Markets
Trump has repeatedly promised to dismantle the existing global economic order. Ironically, many of the policies advanced under that banner do not represent a return to free-market capitalism — they signal a shift toward a more state-directed economic model. Globally, the administration has escalated trade conflicts, withdrawn from negotiated trade frameworks, and imposed historically high […]
Economic Collapse and the Trump Card: When Leverage, Confidence, and Credibility Fail
by Daniel Brouse February 4, 2026 Past Performance Does Not Necessarily Predict Future Performance Every prospectus carries the familiar warning: “Past performance does not guarantee future results.” It is a mandatory SEC disclosure reminding investors that historical returns — whether strong or weak — do not reliably predict what comes next. That disclaimer guards against […]

Storm Warnings Over America’s Heartland: Senate Leaders and Industry Veterans Warn of Agricultural Crisis
The chair of the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee issued a stark warning Tuesday: American farmers are absorbing heavy losses across multiple sectors, and the financial strain is intensifying. At the same time, more than two dozen former agricultural industry leaders released a joint statement cautioning that the nation faces the risk of a “widespread collapse […]

Cracked Fractals: Climate Thermodynamics, Insurance Instability, and Sovereign Debt Transmission in Late-Stage Capitalism
by Daniel Brouse (February 2, 2026 update to an ongoing study) Abstract The relationships between climate physics and modern financial structure are complex, dynamic, and fundamentally non-linear. This paper examines the transmission mechanisms linking climate destabilization to structural fragility within advanced capitalist economies. Drawing on thermodynamics, actuarial science, and sovereign debt dynamics, it argues that […]

Militarized Aid, Extremist Contractors, and Surveillance Power: Ongoing Scrutiny of GHF, ICE, and Palantir
As of early 2026, multiple investigative reports and advocacy groups have raised concerns about the intersection of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza, private security contractors, extremist affiliations, and U.S. immigration enforcement technologies. The issues span several entities: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), private security firms operating in Gaza, far-right extremist networks, U.S. Immigration and Customs […]
