By Daniel Brouse March 24, 2024 Climate change is primarily driven by the escalation of thermal energy affecting biogeophysical and socio-economic systems. While biogeophysical factors can be studied using math, physics, and historical records, socio-economic systems pose greater challenges due to the unpredictable consequences of human behavior and inexplicable consumer choices. Inexplicable consumer behavior in […]

Shipping Pollution (Sulfur Emissions and Climate Change)
by Daniel Brouse There are several critical issues associated with marine fuel pollution used in international shipping. Shipping pollution is a global problem, spreading air pollution across the world. Historically, marine fuels have contained higher levels of sulfur due to the lower cost of lower-grade fuel oil. However, heavy fuel oil contains, on average, 2700 […]

The Sleeping Giant Rages Against the Ghost in the Machine Update
by Daniel Brouse March 23, 2024 You asked: I am terrified of what the summer will bring. Yet I also wonder if enough people suffer from out-of-control heat, might it wake up some sleepers? There aren’t enough people paying attention. This is also a significant concern for me. Traditionally, we would expect to observe a […]

Climate Change Rate of Acceleration Update
by Brouse and Mukherjee Doubling time is the amount of time it takes for a quantity to double in size (exponential growth). By 2020, there was enough data to see the doubling time of some anthropogenic climate affects had gone from 100 years to 10 years. For instance the rate of sea level rise has […]

Enso-Neutral Not So Neutral
by Daniel Brouse The neutral phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs when water temperature anomalies in the eastern and central Pacific range between 0.5 °C and -0.5 °C. During this period, neither La Niña nor El Niño conditions dominate, and it is sometimes humorously referred to as “La Nada”; however, ENSO-neutral is anything […]

Earth’s Vital Signs
by Daniel Brouse Human-induced climate change serves as a dynamic and intricate component within an unordered system, guided by chaos theory. This suggests that global warming is undergoing exponential acceleration in a complex manner. The pace at which climate change is accelerating can be described as rapid, as evident in the intensity, duration, and likelihood […]

Climate Change: What Can I Do?
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Achieving “net zero” is not only accessible but also cost-effective, providing substantial savings while contributing to the preservation of our planet. Here are some practices I’ve adopted to reach net zero without compromising my standard of living, and, in fact, surpassing it in an effort to eliminate all my […]

Climate Change Wildfires
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee About the 2023 wildfires in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green said, “For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August, we had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That’s how- how fast things are changing. I know that there is debate out there whether we should be talking about […]

How is All Real Estate at Risk From Climate Change?
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Climate change poses risks to real estate in the United States in various ways, and these risks can affect property values, insurance costs, and overall property resilience. Here are some ways in which all US real estate is at risk from climate change: Sea Level Rise and Coastal Properties: […]

Chaos Theory: Soil, Atmosphere and Ocean Interaction With Thermal Energy and Carbon Storage
by Daniel Brouse Chaos theory emphasizes the complexity and nonlinearity of dynamic systems, and this complexity is inherent in the interactions between soil, atmosphere, and oceans in the Earth’s climate system. Here’s how these components interact with thermal energy and carbon storage: Soil-Atmosphere Interaction: Thermal Energy Exchange: Soil plays a crucial role in the exchange […]
