Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Introduction: The Global Feedback Cascade Two of the strongest emerging climate feedbacks are low-level tropospheric ozone and declining low-level clouds. Independently, each can accelerate warming. But the more important discovery is that these independent feedbacks are observed coupling. Once coupled, they can transfer energy and disruption across Earth-system boundaries, from […]

Ozone-Cloud Coupling Probabilistic Climate Change Impacts
by Daniel Brouse Under high-emissions, business-as-usual climate scenarios such as SSP5-8.5, Earth-system modeling and observational evidence indicate that the cumulative effects of the ozone–vegetation–cloud coupling could contribute an estimated additional 0.2°C to 0.4°C of global average warming by 2100. However, this estimate should not be interpreted as a simple linear addition to projected warming. The […]
Low-Level Ozone – Clouds = Slowing AMOC and Collapse
by Daniel Brouse The coupling of tropospheric ozone and declining low-level clouds can contribute to the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) by intensifying two fundamental stresses on its circulation: thermal suppression of surface-water density and freshwater-driven disruption of salinity and buoyancy. The AMOC depends on a delicate balance of temperature and salinity—known […]
Humanity’s Greatest Threat Is Humanity
by Daniel Brouse Humans are part of nature. Yet much of modern society has become fundamentally out of balance with the natural world that sustains us. The energy imbalance is the cause of climate change. Human activity has disrupted the Earth’s natural energy balance, creating an accelerating accumulation and redistribution of energy throughout the climate […]

Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism, and Climate Change Denial
Simplified Introduction Cognitive Ability, Christian Nationalism & Climate Change Denial A new 2026 study by sociologist S. L. Perry finds a significant negative association between verbal cognitive ability and Christian nationalist beliefs in the United States. That finding raises an important question: What does cognition have to do with climate change denial? Climate science is […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Disruption in Penn’s Sylvania
by Daniel Brouse Pennsylvania’s forests are being disrupted by accelerating seasonal expansion—the lengthening of warm-season conditions into spring and autumn. The change is doing more than making individual days warmer. It is altering the timing of tree life cycles, increasing ecological vulnerabilities, and shifting which species can successfully survive and reproduce. As summer-like conditions expand […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Forever Summer
by Daniel Brouse Summer is getting longer. A study by researchers at the University of British Columbia found that, between 1990 and 2023, summer-like conditions across the regions between the tropics and the polar circles expanded by roughly six days per decade. That rate is substantially faster than earlier estimates. The researchers did not define […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Swiss Alps: Fare Thee Well?
by Daniel Brouse The loss of glacier ice therefore represents more than a change in scenery. It is a change in the physical infrastructure of the European water cycle. Swiss glaciers are disappearing at an extraordinary rate. The Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) network and the Swiss Academy of Sciences report that Swiss glaciers lost […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? The $13 Billion Nor’easter
by Daniel Brouse Introduction How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? THE $13 BILLION NORTHEASTERN U.S. NOR’EASTER The late-September 2026 nor’easter turned atmospheric and oceanic energy into a massive economic event. $10–13 BILLION in estimated damage and economic losses. Flooding.Beach and dune erosion.Downed trees.Power outages.Infrastructure damage.Transportation disruption. The storm demonstrates a simple connection: STORM ENERGY → […]
