Plug-and-play solar is becoming available around the world—and it could make solar power dramatically simpler and more accessible. Plug-and-play solar is part of the emerging clean energy economy. Unlike conventional rooftop solar, these small systems can be installed with minimal equipment and, where permitted, connected directly to an existing electrical outlet. That makes solar potentially […]

Residential Solar Power
Traditional Solar Installations I’m generally against rooftop solar, particularly in the U.S. Much of the residential market is based on leased systems, which can be detrimental to the homeowner, especially when the home is eventually sold. In general, I also recommend putting a new roof on before installing solar. Otherwise, replacing the roof later can […]

Known Ozone (Extended Version)
The Greenhouse Gas That Damages the Carbon Sink By Daniel Brouse Ozone (O₃) is one of the most important individual greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, ranking behind carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) in terms of its direct contribution to human-caused warming. According to assessments underlying the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, anthropogenic tropospheric ozone […]
The Methane Feedback
by Daniel Brouse Methane feedback emissions are accelerating: methane emissions from climate feedbacks have shown an accelerated, record-breaking surge since around 2007, with a massive spike since 2020. Global Methane & Climate Feedback Trends (2000–Present) Era / Years Avg. Atmospheric Growth Rate Climate Feedback & Wetland Status Key Scientific Discovery & Observations The Stabilization Plateau(2000–2006) […]
Clean Energy Economy
by Daniel Brouse THE ENERGY IS ALREADY THERE.THE CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY HARVESTS IT. Tonight’s homework assignment: Clean Energy Economy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be harnessed, converted, stored, transmitted, and used. The sun is already delivering enormous amounts of energy to Earth. The atmosphere is already moving. Winds are already blowing. […]

Change in Climate Change: Δc
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Since the ’90s, we’ve been in pursuit of change in climate change (Δc). It took us about 10 years to recognize that the rate of change was doubling on roughly a 100-year timescale. By 2020, the acceleration in acceleration had changed substantially: the doubling interval had compressed to roughly […]
2022–2026 Climate Jerk Surge: Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content Triad
by Daniel Brouse ABSTRACT The recent change in climate-system dynamics is being expressed not simply as continued warming, but as increasing synchronization among multiple radiative and thermal feedback pathways. Beginning most notably around 2022, the climate system exhibits an increasingly interconnected pattern among six major variables: cloud cover, planetary albedo, sea ice extent, atmospheric water […]
2022–2026 Jerk Surge Math & Methods
by Daniel Brouse Multiple Feedback Coupling Becomes Observable Beginning most notably around 2022, multiple climate-system feedbacks appear to be increasingly coupled, with changes in several major climate variables occurring simultaneously and in physically connected directions. The analysis tracks six climate-system variables: These six variables generate 15 unique pairwise coupling paths, which are combined into a […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? California: Wave to Kelvin
by Daniel Brouse Chaos Theory Oceanic Teleconnection: Tropical Pacific Energy → U.S. West Coast A powerful El Niño is sending a massive pulse of ocean energy north along the Pacific coast—and California could see local sea levels rise by about a foot this fall. The Weather Channel reports that a coastally trapped Kelvin wave generated […]

Feedback Feedback
Which Climate Feedback Is Accelerating Fastest? by Daniel Brouse Simplified Introduction Which climate feedback is accelerating fastest? We often ask which feedback is strongest. But there’s another question that may be even more important: What happens when climate feedbacks begin combining—and amplifying one another? Water vapor is the strongest positive feedback. Ice and snow albedo […]
