By Daniel Brouse / January 24, 2026 The ancient Babylonians (flourishing c. 2000 BCE) constructed the mathematical skeleton upon which modern timekeeping still rests. Their sexagesimal (base-60) numerical system—likely chosen for its exceptional divisibility—gave us the 60-minute hour and the 360-degree circle. Sixty is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, making it uniquely […]

Wailing into the Warming Seas
Can Whales Adapt to Climate Change? (Adaptation III) by Daniel Brouse Whales are among the most influential organisms in Earth’s climate and ocean systems. They migrate vast distances, cycle nutrients through the water column, and sequester enormous amounts of carbon. When a whale dies, its body sinks to the seafloor, locking carbon away for centuries—making […]

The Real Cost of Fossil Fuels: How Trump’s Policies Accelerate Economic Collapse
by Daniel Brouse December 10, 2025 Fossil-fuel combustion isn’t just environmentally destructive — it is the single most expensive human activity in the global economy. The illusion of “affordable energy” collapses the moment you account for the actual economic costs: healthcare burdens, lost productivity, infrastructure damage, climate-driven disasters, agricultural losses, ecosystem collapse, and trillions in […]

The Science They Refuse to See: Debunking Climate Denial and the Accelerating Crisis
by Daniel Brouse September 23, 2025 Debunking Common Climate Science Denial Claims: A Scientist’s Rebuttal Climate science denial often takes the form of oversimplified analogies or misrepresentations of complex physical processes. One common line of attack is the claim that greenhouse gases and potent molecules like methane cannot significantly affect global temperatures. Here, I provide […]

Trump’s Tariffs, Debt, and the Collapse of Capitalism: An Ironic Path to Slowing Climate Change
by Daniel Brouse June 29, 2025 Regarding Trump’s tariffs, while he did negotiate a few deals, the reality is that the tariffs themselves raised prices for many goods before any deals were even on the table, hitting consumers immediately. Ironically, the Trump tariffs represent the largest tax increase in U.S. history, even as Trump claims […]
