Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeMarch 25, 2026 1. Introduction Sea-level rise (SLR) is one of the clearest indicators of the nonlinear acceleration of climate impacts. Observational data from tide gauges and satellite altimetry show that SLR is increasing; critically, however, the rate of acceleration is itself increasing, resulting in rapidly shrinking doubling times. Importantly, SLR […]

Emergent Climate Dynamics: The Nonlinear Acceleration of Climate Impacts
A Unified Energetics Framework for Accelerating Climate Change
From Radiative Forcing to Drag Physics By Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeMarch 24, 2026 Abstract This paper presents a physics-based framework for understanding anthropogenic climate change through energy balance, rate dynamics, and force scaling. While the radiative basis of global warming is well established, we argue that the most critical—and underappreciated—dimensions of climate change lie […]
Ecofascism and Denialism 101
Introduction By systematically coding behaviors and rhetoric, this research identifies demographic patterns, behavioral characteristics, and ideological markers associated with denialist and ecofascist individuals. Findings indicate that these forms of discourse are dominated by specific demographic groups, exhibit distinctive behavioral traits, and reveal the intersection of ideological and scientific ignorance. Background I initially began investigating denialism […]
“More Winning?” Trump’s Record Baby Bombing
The Human Cost of the 2026 Iran Conflict: Child Casualties and U.S. Military Losses “Promises made, mothers wept.” The 2026 escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has produced an unprecedented spike in civilian casualties, particularly among children. Modern conflicts involving the United States have not seen child casualty figures of this magnitude in such […]
Denialism and Ecofascism in Online Climate Discourse: A Case Study
AbstractThis study investigates patterns of climate denialism and ecofascism in online discourse, analyzing several thousand interactions with English-language climate change posts and comments. By systematically coding behaviors and rhetoric, this research identifies demographic patterns, behavioral characteristics, and ideological markers associated with denialist and ecofascist individuals. Findings indicate that these forms of discourse are dominated by […]
Protectionism, War, and Economic Slowdown: How 2026 GDP Is Being Dragged Down
The U.S. economy is showing clear signs of deceleration. In the second estimate released on March 13, 2026, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that fourth‑quarter GDP growth in 2025 was just 0.7% annualized, down sharply from the initial 1.4% estimate and well below market expectations of roughly 1.4–1.5%. This slowdown coincides with rising policy […]
Tariffs, Courts, and the Growing Deficit: The Fiscal Fallout of an Illegal Trade Policy
The U.S. federal budget deficit continues to widen at an alarming pace. During the first five months of fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 through February 2026), the deficit reached $1.004 trillion, highlighting the growing fiscal imbalance facing the United States. Now, a major legal ruling on tariffs threatens to add tens or even hundreds of […]
The Climate Discount: Underestimating the Decline in Real Estate Values
Nonlinear Acceleration, Cascading Feedbacks, and the Compression of Climate Time Daniel Brouse¹ and Sidd Mukherjee²March 11, 2026 ¹Independent Climate Researcher, Economist²Physicist Abstract Recent observations across multiple climate indicators confirm that the impacts of global warming are accelerating at a nonlinear rate. We revisit the Nonlinear Acceleration Hypothesis, originally proposed in the early 1990s, which posits […]
Underestimating the Speed of Climate Change
Nonlinear Acceleration, Cascading Feedbacks, and the Compression of Climate Time Daniel Brouse¹ and Sidd Mukherjee²March 10, 2026 ¹Independent Climate Researcher, Economist²Physicist Abstract Recent observations across multiple climate indicators suggest that the impacts of global warming are accelerating faster than previously estimated. We revisit the Nonlinear Acceleration Hypothesis, originally proposed in the early 1990s, which posits […]
Underestimating the Speed of Climate Change
EASY READ VERSION Abstract How fast is climate change accelerating? Our analysis suggests that the observable impacts of global warming are currently increasing at roughly 262^626 (≈64-fold) per decade, implying a doubling time of approximately 2–5 years across multiple climate indicators. This rate is far faster than anything observed during known geological transitions over the […]
