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 […]

Runaway Feedbacks: Can Earth Warm 9°C This Century?
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee September 1, 2025 I said: Our climate model — incorporating complex social-ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, non-linear system — projects that global temperatures could rise by up to 9°C (16.2°F) within this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates, which predicted a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, […]

Understanding Urban Heat Islands: Causes, Data, and Climate Context
by Daniel Brouse August 7, 2025 Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a well-documented phenomenon in which cities and densely developed areas experience significantly higher temperatures than surrounding rural environments. This temperature disparity is not the result of long-term climate change, but rather of localized factors that alter how heat is absorbed, stored, and released. The […]

Tariffs, Sanctions, and Sensibility: Rethinking U.S. Trade Policy in the Age of Climate Crisis
by Daniel Brouse August 5, 2025 I’ve been reflecting on the ongoing trade war and its broader implications—not just economically, but in terms of logic, consistency, and environmental sensibility. A recent twist involving Russian sanctions highlights how disconnected U.S. policy can be from its stated goals. Just this week, Trump threatened to raise tariffs even […]

Climate-Driven Health Collapse: The Compounding Feedback Loops of Disease, Pollution, and Extreme Weather
by Daniel Brouse — July 26, 2025 Climate change is not just an environmental issue — it is a cascading health crisis. As rising global temperatures disrupt natural systems, they initiate multiple interconnected health feedback loops that reinforce and amplify one another. These loops do not operate in isolation, nor do they follow a predictable […]

Global Courts Shift Climate Change from Moral Imperative to Legal Obligation
by Daniel Brouse July 23, 2025 “The ICJ opinion explicitly connects environmental degradation with the erosion of fundamental human rights, including the rights to life, health, food, water, and cultural integrity.” The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest judicial body, issued a landmark opinion today (July 23, 2025), declaring that states have clear […]

Climate Change, Capitalism, and the Collapse of Insurance: California as a Case Study
by Daniel BrouseJuly 19, 2025 California offers a stark preview of what to expect as the U.S. property insurance market begins to unravel under the weight of climate change. Insurers continue to withdraw from wildfire-prone and flood-prone areas, despite recent policy efforts aimed at stabilizing the market. The January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires alone generated […]

Walk the Poop Before You Talk the Transition
By Daniel Brouse July 18, 2025 Now that many people are finally waking up to the collapse of the climate and social systems, I hope my background as an economist focused on risk management can help illuminate the path forward. Ideally, we would have followed sound risk management decades ago to avoid reaching this crisis […]

Fiscal Policy in the Chaos: How America’s Current Path Accelerates Economic Collapse
by Daniel BrouseJuly 17, 2025 I’ve been getting a lot of great questions about two nonlinear, dynamic systems: climate collapse and economic collapse. Just as the climate system consists of interconnected subsystems, so too does the world economy. This chapter examines how current U.S. fiscal policy is a critical driver within this chaotic system, accelerating […]
