by Daniel Brouse Comparing Two Approaches to Measuring Humanity’s Climate Footprint Climate responsibility depends on how emissions are assigned. Traditional territorial accounting attributes emissions to the country where they occur, but globalization has made that approach increasingly incomplete. Modern supply chains, international trade, and service-based economies often separate where emissions are produced from who ultimately […]

From Event Attribution to Cascade Attribution: Nonlinear Climate Dynamics and Feedback Coupling
by Daniel Brouse Abstract The 2026 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on extreme event attribution marks a significant milestone in climate science. It demonstrates that researchers can now rigorously quantify how human-induced climate change has altered the probability and intensity of many individual extreme weather events. While the report focuses on […]

The Collapse of Climate Predictability
by Daniel Brouse How Coupled Climate Feedbacks Are Changing Earth’s Behavior Abstract For much of the modern scientific era, Earth’s major climate oscillations were studied as largely independent systems. Phenomena such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Indian Ocean […]

The Collapse of Climate Predictability: The Pacific Super El Niño–Atlantic Niña Coupling in a Rapidly Changing Earth System
by Daniel Brouse Multiple climate indicators now point to rates of warming-related disruption far beyond those observed during the modern instrumental era. There is no well-established geological analog for a sustained, multi-variable, decade-scale pattern of accelerating change across the full Earth system at the resolution available in contemporary observations. If sustained, this may represent one […]

The Birnam Wood Experiment: Moving Forests for a Cooler, More Efficient Home
by Daniel Brouse DIY Climate Control: Save Money, Reduce Waste, and Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Birnam Wood appears to come alive as Malcolm’s army cuts branches from the forest and carries them toward Dunsinane Castle, concealing its advance. What seemed like magic was actually an ingenious use of nature to solve a […]

Climate Change as a Macroeconomic Threat Multiplier: Rising Healthcare Costs, Cost-of-Living Pressures, and Declining Human Longevity
by Daniel Brouse Introduction: Climate Change as an Economic and Human Security Crisis Climate change is no longer only an environmental challenge; it has become a powerful macroeconomic threat multiplier that amplifies existing social, economic, and public health vulnerabilities. Rising temperatures, increasingly extreme weather events, deteriorating air quality, and destabilized ecosystems are creating cascading financial […]

Ice in a Warming World: Climate Change, Giant Hail, and the Nonlinear Escalation of Severe Convective Storms
by Daniel Brouse Climate Change and Hailstorms One of the most common misconceptions about climate change is that a warmer planet should produce less ice. In reality, the opposite is increasingly true for severe thunderstorms. While winters are warming and snow cover is declining in many regions, the atmosphere is becoming more energetic, more moisture-laden, […]

Atmospheric Rivers: How Climate Change Is Reshaping Earth’s Atmospheric Circulation
By Daniel Brouse & Sidd Mukherjee Overview Atmospheric rivers are among the most powerful weather systems on Earth. These long, narrow corridors of concentrated water vapor transport immense quantities of moisture through the atmosphere, acting as airborne rivers that connect the tropics with higher latitudes. At their peak, atmospheric rivers can carry as much water […]

Climate Control Feedback Loops
Climate Control Feedback Loops: When Cooling Becomes Part of the Climate System How the growing need for air conditioning is creating new reinforcing climate feedbacks Introduction For most of the twentieth century, air conditioning was considered a luxury in many parts of the world. Today, in an increasing number of regions, it is becoming essential […]
