The United States has reportedly warned countries to reject a United Nations–brokered agreement aimed at reducing marine fuel emissions—or face punitive tariffs, visa restrictions, and additional port levies, according to U.S. and European officials familiar with the matter. The U.N. initiative, designed to curb the shipping industry’s significant contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions, has […]

Runaway Climate Feedbacks and Systemic Collapse
Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeSeptember 3, 2025 Our probabilistic, ensemble-based climate model — incorporating complex socio-economic and ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, nonlinear system — projects that global temperatures could rise by as much as 9°C (16.2°F) within this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates, which predicted a 4°C rise over the next thousand […]

The Accelerating Collapse of the AMOC–Jet Stream Feedback Loop
By Daniel Brouse September 1, 2025 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the jet stream are unraveling much faster than science once believed possible. What was once thought to take millennia, and later centuries, has now accelerated into mere decades. Earlier this year, I wrote about the unsettling transition from spring to summer in […]

The decision represents both a constitutional challenge […]
Sea Level Denial vs. Climate Reality: The Accelerating Collapse of Ice Sheets and Ocean Circulation
by Daniel BrouseAugust 29, 2025 Here’s an example response you can use when confronting a climate denier—this one addresses the accelerating rise in sea levels and the collapse of the AMOC. The climate denier said to me: “What an absolute load of BS. Sea level hasn’t changed to ANY verifiable degree in 2,000 years. Sit […]

The Alarming Rise of Political Eugenics in U.S. Public Health Policy
The Trump administration has reignited global concerns about eugenics through its direct interference in science and public health. The latest controversy centers on the firing of the CDC director, followed by the resignation of four senior colleagues in protest. Their departures, citing the politicization of the agency and the deliberate manipulation of scientific data, mark […]
