by Daniel Brouse As the Earth warms, the air will hold more moisture. More moisture-laden air moves over land and creates atmospheric rivers (Pineapple Express). The Journal EOS in the article Atmospheric Rivers Spur High-Tide Floods on U.S. West Coast said, “Atmospheric rivers are narrow bands of moisture that travel across the lower troposphere, generally […]

Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee September 29, 2023 A look at three (3) of the multiple tipping points we appear to have breached and The Domino Effect: Mountain Glacier Loss Collapse of AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) Amazon Rainforest Dieback Crossing one tipping point would be alarming. For instance, crossing the tipping point for […]

Collapse of the Amazon
September 28. 2023 1) much of July was spent at record temperatures +3C 2) the collapse of the Amazon rainforest is likely to happen at +2-4C. The collapse of the Amazon is expected to occur because of changing weather patterns and circulation that result in drought. 3) Today Brazil set up a task force for […]

Health Impacts of Air Pollution
By Daniel Brouse June 30, 2023 The health impacts of air pollution are both cumulative and irreversible. The more polluted the air, the more severe the effects. The more polluted air you breathe over time, the more severe the effects. That is to say breathing “Moderate” quality air for 3 days might be similar to […]
