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 […]

Tipping Cascades, Social-Ecological Systems, and the Hottest Year in History
by Daniel Brouse January 9, 2024 Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. Unfortunately, even scientists are failing to see (let alone forecast) the rapid acceleration in climate change. Due to their complexity, the […]

Climate Change: 2023 the Year in Review
by Sidd Mukherjee and Daniel Brouse Sidd said, “Do you remember back in the early 2000’s when we thought we wouldn’t live to see the extreme changes due to global warming?” Daniel replied, “I think 2023 is the most significant year so far. We saw confirmation of tipping points being crossed for Mountain Glacier Loss, […]

The Domino Effect / Snowball Effect
by Brouse and Mukherjee Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no […]

Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee September 29, 2023 A look at three (3) of the multiple tipping points we appear to have breached and The Domino Effect: Mountain Glacier Loss Collapse of AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) Amazon Rainforest Dieback Crossing one tipping point would be alarming. For instance, crossing the tipping point for […]

Collapse of the Amazon
September 28. 2023 1) much of July was spent at record temperatures +3C 2) the collapse of the Amazon rainforest is likely to happen at +2-4C. The collapse of the Amazon is expected to occur because of changing weather patterns and circulation that result in drought. 3) Today Brazil set up a task force for […]
Climate Change: the Equation
By Daniel Brouse August 5, 2023 I’ve been thinking about the giant global warming formula that has been formulating in my head for the last few decades. Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). Though the equation is complex… too complicated to write down… I’ve lately begun considering […]

A Tipping Point
By Daniel Brouse August 3, 2023 Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off […]
Tripping Over Tipping Points
by Daniel Brouse September 12, 2022 Climate change tipping points are positions in an evolving situation that lead to a new and irreversible development. Some of these tipping points have already been crossed. The methane that escaped from under melting polar ice can not be put back. Melted ice that formed in the Alps 25,000 […]
