About Denialism and Ecofascism: Science Is Science The ObservationGlad to know you’re watching out! At the same time, this divisiveness—when we desperately need everyone to pull together because it’s a CRISIS, right?—makes me somehow deeply sad.

Coupled Climate Feedbacks and Cascading Real Estate Risk
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee How Compound Flooding Is Reshaping Property Values, Insurance Availability, and Coastal Habitability Climate change is creating a new class of real-estate risk in which the physical hazards of flooding increasingly interact with financial, insurance, infrastructure, and housing systems. Sea-level rise, heavier precipitation, and more intense or slower-moving hurricanes are […]

High-Risk U.S. Real Estate Regions Under the Multiplicative Climate Risk Framework
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee The Multiplicative Climate Risk Formula The Multiplicative Climate Risk Formula is a real-estate climate-risk model designed to capture how multiple hazards and vulnerabilities can interact and compound rather than occur independently. The framework incorporates interconnected risks including sea-level rise, storm surge, extreme precipitation, flooding, hydroclimatic whiplash, wildfires, drought, extreme […]

From its historic peak of roughly 726 million barrels in 2009, the SPR has experienced a cumulative drawdown of approximately 421 million barrels—about a 58% reduction. The decline has been […]
Climate Change Today
When Weather Becomes Climate By Daniel Brouse Earth functions as a single interconnected system, and climate is one of its defining components. For much of modern science, climatology focused primarily on identifying individual causes and effects. Today, that focus has expanded toward understanding the behavior of the entire Earth system. The dynamics of complex nonlinear […]

The Two Sides of the Climate Crisis: Consumption and Production
by Daniel Brouse Climate change is often discussed as a problem of emissions, but emissions are the result of two interconnected forces: consumption and production. Q: What are the greatest drivers of climate change?A: Consumption and production. At present, I would rank our addiction to consumption and ecofascism as the two most significant drivers of […]

The States with the Biggest Climate Footprints Aren’t the Ones You Think
by Daniel Brouse When most people think about greenhouse gas emissions, they picture sprawling cities, crowded highways, and millions of people flipping on lights and air conditioners. It’s no surprise, then, that states like California, Texas, Florida, and New York usually dominate lists of greenhouse gas emissions. But those rankings tell only part of the […]
