by Daniel Brouse September 16, 2025 Magic Erasers may be great at scrubbing stains off walls and countertops, but new research suggests they may also be leaving behind something far less desirable: microplastics. These cleaning pads are made of melamine foam, a porous plastic material that works like ultra-fine sandpaper. While effective for cleaning, studies […]

Climate Disinformation 101: The CO₂ Coalition’s Dangerous Fantasy of ‘More CO₂ is Better’
by Daniel BrouseSeptember 13, 2025 The CO₂ Coalition isn’t doing science. It’s a fossil-fuel–funded propaganda group that pushes twisted half-truths. One of their most absurd and dangerous lies is the idea that “we need more CO₂” because it supposedly makes the Earth greener. That’s not science — that’s climate disinformation. Here are the facts: Forests […]

The Gut Clock: How Microbial Rhythms Shape Health, Sleep, and Metabolism
by Daniel BrouseSeptember 9, 2025 The gut microbiome goes through several important shifts over the course of a day, and these changes are tightly linked to the body’s circadian rhythm. These microbial populations do not operate randomly; they follow a daily cycle, synchronizing with light–dark patterns and feeding–fasting intervals. When fasting periods extend too long, […]
Evaporation at the Surface: A Backyard Measure of Global Water Cycle Disruption
by Daniel Brouse September 6, 2025 During the 2025 pool season (May through September), water levels showed a net loss of 16 inches solely due to evaporation. While this may seem like a localized measurement, it illustrates a much broader hydrological imbalance already underway. The same processes driving evaporation in a backyard pool are simultaneously […]

Health and Quality of Life in Florida
by Daniel Brouse September 3, 2025 Florida faces mounting challenges in health, education, and climate resilience—each reinforcing the state’s declining quality of life. Life ExpectancyFlorida’s life expectancy has fallen sharply. Recent estimates put it at ~77.5 years, down from 79 in 2019, with COVID-19 and drug overdoses driving much of the decline. The state now […]

Runaway Climate Feedbacks and Systemic Collapse
Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeSeptember 3, 2025 Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — incorporating complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures could rise by as much as 9°C (16.2°F) within this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates, which predicted a 4°C rise over the next thousand […]
