Clean Energy Economy
by Daniel Brouse THE ENERGY IS ALREADY THERE.THE CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY HARVESTS IT. Tonight’s homework assignment: Clean Energy Economy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it can be harnessed, converted, stored, transmitted, and used. The sun is already delivering enormous amounts of energy to Earth. The atmosphere is already moving. Winds are already blowing. […]

Change in Climate Change: Δc
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Since the ’90s, we’ve been in pursuit of change in climate change (Δc). It took us about 10 years to recognize that the rate of change was doubling on roughly a 100-year timescale. By 2020, the acceleration in acceleration had changed substantially: the doubling interval had compressed to roughly […]

2022–2026 Climate Jerk Surge: Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content Triad
by Daniel Brouse ABSTRACT The recent change in climate-system dynamics is being expressed not simply as continued warming, but as increasing synchronization among multiple radiative and thermal feedback pathways. Beginning most notably around 2022, the climate system exhibits an increasingly interconnected pattern among six major variables: cloud cover, planetary albedo, sea ice extent, atmospheric water […]

2022–2026 Jerk Surge Math & Methods
by Daniel Brouse Multiple Feedback Coupling Becomes Observable Beginning most notably around 2022, multiple climate-system feedbacks appear to be increasingly coupled, with changes in several major climate variables occurring simultaneously and in physically connected directions. The analysis tracks six climate-system variables: These six variables generate 15 unique pairwise coupling paths, which are combined into a […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? California: Wave to Kelvin
by Daniel Brouse Chaos Theory Oceanic Teleconnection: Tropical Pacific Energy → U.S. West Coast A powerful El Niño is sending a massive pulse of ocean energy north along the Pacific coast—and California could see local sea levels rise by about a foot this fall. The Weather Channel reports that a coastally trapped Kelvin wave generated […]

Climate Debt Collection
What happens when we miss the 1.5°C Paris target? Think of it like owing money to a loan shark. The debt doesn’t wait decades to be collected. Our fingers are being broken now.Our kneecaps are next. One of the biggest challenges in communicating climate change is proximity—both in time and location. If the consequences seem […]

Feedback Feedback
Which Climate Feedback Is Accelerating Fastest? by Daniel Brouse Simplified Introduction Which climate feedback is accelerating fastest? We often ask which feedback is strongest. But there’s another question that may be even more important: What happens when climate feedbacks begin combining—and amplifying one another? Water vapor is the strongest positive feedback. Ice and snow albedo […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Pennsylvania: When the Levee Breaks
by Daniel Brouse Pennsylvania: When the Levee Breaks — Crying Won’t Help You, Praying Won’t Do You No Good Pennsylvania’s aging levees reveal a dangerous mismatch between a rapidly changing climate-energy system and infrastructure designed for a climate that no longer exists. The problem is much larger than flooding. It is a collision between increasing […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Kyrgyzstan
by Daniel Brouse Kyrgyzstan Says, “You Cursed Brat. I’m Melting.” Kyrgyzstan is home to more than 10,000 glaciers covering roughly 4% to 5% of the country’s total land area. Situated primarily within the colossal Tien Shan and Pamir-Alay mountain ranges, these massive stores of ice contain an estimated 590 cubic kilometers of freshwater. They are […]
