Climate Change, Inflation, and You

Currently, a major contributor to inflation is the surge in homeowners’ insurance costs, propelled by the unprecedented number of climate disasters in 2023. California, Louisiana, and Florida are now dependent on government assistance to manage the financial burden of residential property insurance. Flood insurance will become expensive and difficult to obtain. NOAA: A historic year […]

Climate Change Today

By Daniel Brouse March 23, 2024 We are aware that the average temperature increased by 1.2°C by 2022. Subsequently, the annual average temperature exceeded 1.5°C for the first time in January 2024. There is a substantial likelihood that if humans persist in emitting greenhouse gases at the current rate, the temperature will rise by 4°C […]

Coral Reefs’ Tipping Point

by Daniel Brouse February 14, 2024 Coral reefs confront unprecedented challenges arising from various stressors, many of which are directly tied to human activities. Some of these stressors possess critical tipping points, surpassing which can lead to the collapse of coral ecosystems. According to the European Geosciences Union’s statement on January 2, 2024, specific tipping […]

Climate Change and Chaos Theory

By Daniel Brouse February 5, 2024 Global warming is caused by an increase in thermal energy. Atmospheric circulation together with ocean circulation is how thermal energy is redistributed throughout the world. Chaos theory offers insights into the complex, nonlinear dynamics of climate systems role in the redistribution of thermal energy. The Earth’s climate is a […]

Climate Change, the Jet Stream, and East Coast Atmospheric Rivers

by Daniel Brouse How is climate change impacting the jet stream and atmospheric rivers on the East Coast of the USA? The interactions between various factors, including ocean currents, sea surface temperatures, and atmospheric circulation, contribute to the overall climate patterns experienced on the East Coast. Climate change can influence the jet stream and atmospheric […]

Atmospheric Rivers and Coastal Erosion

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere that transport large amounts of water vapor. When these atmospheric rivers make landfall, they can bring heavy rainfall over an extended period, leading to increased runoff and potentially contributing to coastal erosion through several mechanisms: Intense Rainfall: Atmospheric rivers can bring intense and […]

Greenland Atmospheric Rivers

by Sidd Mukherjee Historically in the United States, atmospheric rivers (AR) have been associated with the West Coast. Now, AR activity is getting more attention on the East Coast. Atmospheric rivers have been putting serious rainfall melt on Greenland for the last decade, too. Darker snow surfaces absorb more sunlight and melt quicker. This effect […]

West Coast Atmospheric Rivers

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 […]

East Coast Atmospheric Rivers

by Daniel Brouse December 10, 2023 As the Earth warms, the air will hold more moisture (water vapor). When more moisture-laden air moves over land it can create atmospheric rivers. In the Northwestern USA, the atmospheric rivers are commonly called the Pineapple Express. The Journal EOS in the article Atmospheric Rivers Spur High-Tide Floods on […]
