🌎 CLIMATE CHANGE, ACCELERATION & INERTIA Climate change is not simply a matter of temperatures gradually rising. It is an energy problem. More energy is entering the climate system than leaving it—and most of that excess energy is being absorbed by the oceans. That creates INERTIA. But something else is happening. As warming crosses critical […]

Climate Change, Acceleration, and Inertia
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Climate Change Climate change has been primarily driven by fossil-fuel emissions creating an energy imbalance. More energy is entering the climate system than is leaving. The accumulation of that energy manifests first as rising temperatures and increasingly as extreme weather energy events such as storms and heatwaves. Most of […]

When Climate Feedbacks Begin to Accelerate
by Daniel Brouse Low Clouds, Ozone, and the Emerging Climate Jerk Surge The Question We Should Be Asking A common assumption in climate projections is that if humanity eventually stops adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, global temperatures will eventually stabilize. That basic physical expectation remains important. But it leaves out a potentially critical question: […]

Why Hasn’t There Been a Hurricane?
by Daniel Brouse How Is Climate Change Hitting You? Climate Energy Is Being Redistributed Q: What’s your take on not having a single hurricane this season? Great question! I’ve written several papers on this topic, and I think what we’re seeing is particularly interesting. As of September 23, the Atlantic has produced six named storms […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Sea Level vs. Private Property Rights
by Daniel Brouse Simplified Introduction How Is the Climate Energy Hitting You?SoCal Coastal ArmoringSea Level vs. Private Property Rights = Managed Retreat 🌊 Climate energy is hitting the coast. When waves encounter a hard structure instead of dissipating their energy across a gradually sloping beach, some of that energy can be reflected back toward the […]

Earth’s Energy Imbalance: The Climate System Out of Balance
by Daniel Brouse Simplified Introduction 🌎 Earth’s Energy Imbalance Climate change can be understood in one deceptively simple equation: ENERGY IN − ENERGY OUT = ENERGY ACCUMULATING Earth has been accumulating excess energy for decades. Most of that excess heat—roughly 90%—is going into the oceans. What matters now is not just that Earth is out […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Indonesia: Still Burning
by Daniel Brouse Indonesia: Still Burning — When Wildfire Becomes a Climate Feedback Indonesia’s wildfire carbon dioxide emissions surged to the highest level in the world in early September 2026, driven by an intense El Niño season and extreme drought. As reported earlier this month, Indonesia is experiencing a dangerous convergence of climate stress: extreme […]
Plug-And-Play Solar
Plug-and-play solar is becoming available around the world—and it could make solar power dramatically simpler and more accessible. Plug-and-play solar is part of the emerging clean energy economy. Unlike conventional rooftop solar, these small systems can be installed with minimal equipment and, where permitted, connected directly to an existing electrical outlet. That makes solar potentially […]

Residential Solar Power
Traditional Solar Installations I’m generally against rooftop solar, particularly in the U.S. Much of the residential market is based on leased systems, which can be detrimental to the homeowner, especially when the home is eventually sold. In general, I also recommend putting a new roof on before installing solar. Otherwise, replacing the roof later can […]

Known Ozone (Extended Version)
The Greenhouse Gas That Damages the Carbon Sink By Daniel Brouse Ozone (O₃) is one of the most important individual greenhouse gases contributing to global warming, ranking behind carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) and methane (CHâ‚„) in terms of its direct contribution to human-caused warming. According to assessments underlying the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, anthropogenic tropospheric ozone […]
