Nine Tipping Points Crossed: The Domino Collapse of Earth’s Climate Systems
Tipping Cascades: The Nonlinear Dominoes of Climate Collapse
by Daniel Brouse July 14, 2025 My latest deep reflection has centered on how tipping points have triggered self-sustaining feedback loops in the climate system. We knew this was coming—and it is now here. Luckily, I was prepared for that part. What I could not fully envision in my mind’s eye was how the interplay […]
The Coming Treasury Flood: Why Rates May Stay High for Years
by Daniel Brouse July 14, 2025 More than $1 trillion in U.S. short-term Treasury bills are expected to flood the market over the next 18 months following the latest debt ceiling increase, as the Treasury moves to replenish its depleted cash balance while continuing to fund the country’s massive fiscal deficit. This is exactly the […]
Human-Caused Global Warming Tripled Heat Deaths During European Heatwave
by Daniel Brouse July 9, 2025 A rapid attribution study led by Imperial College London found that human-caused global warming increased peak temperatures during Europe’s early summer heatwave by up to 7°F, tripling heat-related deaths across 12 major cities, including Paris, London, and Madrid. Of 2,300 estimated heat deaths between June 23 and July 2, […]
Hydroclimate Whiplash: America’s Flood Disaster Signals Accelerating Climate Chaos
by Daniel Brouse July 9, 2025 Hydroclimate whiplash describes the extreme swings between severe droughts and catastrophic floods, a phenomenon intensified by climate change. Another term, Drought-Flood Abrupt Alternation (DFAA), highlights how these sudden shifts compound the vulnerability of communities already stretched thin by recurring climate disasters. In the past week alone, the United States […]
