by Daniel Brouse 2026: The New Economic Reality Money moves people. The climate costs of fossil-fuel dependence are increasingly outweighing its benefits—not in some distant future, but here and now. We are moving beyond arguments about what climate change might cost decades from today. Across the Western world, climate impacts are already imposing costs of […]

July 2026: The Record Heat Was Especially Dangerous After Sunset
by Daniel Brouse July 2026 was officially the hottest month ever recorded for the contiguous United States since national records began in 1895. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the average temperature across the Lower 48 reached 76.9°F—about 3.3°F above the 20th-century average and roughly 0.1–0.2°F warmer than the previous July records […]

Science Is Science: Confronting Denialism and Ecofascism
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. That’s a big job right there… How do we reach those who seem furthest away from any kind of […]

Methane: A Rapid Link Between Feedbacks and Tipping Points
by Daniel Brouse Introduction: The Fast-Moving Greenhouse Gas Accelerating Climate Change Methane has become a rapid link between climate feedbacks and tipping points. Methane (CH₄), the primary component of natural gas, is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases driving modern climate change. Although methane remains in the atmosphere for only about a decade—far less […]
Climate Shock to the Food System
by Daniel Brouse How Extreme Heat, Drought, Disease, and Global Supply Disruptions Are Reshaping Agriculture and Raising Food Prices Introduction Climate change is increasingly affecting agriculture through multiple, interconnected pathways. Extreme heat, prolonged drought, erratic rainfall, declining water availability, wildfire, shifting pest and disease pressures, and disruptions to livestock production are converging to create a […]
Climate Change Impacts and You: The Rising Cost of a Changing Climate
by Daniel Brouse Introduction Climate change is no longer simply a future environmental threat. It is increasingly affecting American households through higher costs, declining air quality, extreme heat, infrastructure disruptions, property damage, and changing patterns of disease. Although catastrophic floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and other disasters dominate the headlines, the most widespread climate impact may be […]

Heat-Triggered Flash Droughts: The Rapid Intensification of Heat, Drought, and Wildfire Risk
by Daniel Brouse The Trend Flash droughts are one of the three fastest-accelerating climate extremes. The share of global land affected by heat-driven drought has expanded dramatically—from approximately 2.5% in the 1980s to 16.7% in recent years. The rate of increase has also accelerated, rising roughly eightfold since 2000. This shift is important because heat-triggered […]

Climate Change and Moisture Transport
I’m wondering whether there is any way to quantify whether precipitation is now falling more rapidly over smaller areas and closer to where the moisture originates, potentially contributing to historically high-volume flooding. Conversely, could less precipitation falling over broader areas be contributing to worsening drought and diminishing inland snowpack? Is there any long-term tracking of […]
The Three Fastest-Accelerating Climate Extremes Since 2000
by Daniel Brouse Since 2000, three climate extremes have accelerated faster than all others in their frequency, intensity, and geographic reach: extreme heatwaves, major flooding, and heat-triggered flash droughts. 1. Extreme Heatwaves The Trend: The years 2015–2025 were the 11 warmest years ever recorded globally.The Impact: Heatwaves have become dramatically longer, hotter, and more widespread, […]
