Tonight’s homework assignment: How much land do I need for my own shit? (AKA The Eat n’ Poop Experiment) Both literally and figuratively. This is an experiment I’ve been working on for years. And when you actually try to do it—when you have to think about where your food comes from, where your water comes […]

Scientists Using AI: From Computational Efficiency to Climate Innovation
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Why Do Scientists Use AI? The short answer is: We’ve conducted case studies on the use of AI in a wide variety of environments, including everything from the dynamics of nonlinear chaotic systems to songwriting and musical production. All produced similar results—benefits to the environment, the economy, and society. […]

Tipping Point Season
by Daniel Brouse Introduction: What Is Tipping Point Season? The first tipping point season was 2023–2024, when global temperatures exceeded +1.5°C for an extended period. During that season, nine tipping points became observable: This phenomenon occurred simultaneously with El Niño. ENSO is not a cause of climate change; rather, it is a manifestation of the […]
Tipping Points That Toppled
When Climate Feedbacks Stop Looking Theoretical By Daniel Brouse The 2023–2024 El Niño event made observable what had previously been discussed largely as theoretical: multiple climate-system tipping processes were being pushed simultaneously. At least nine potential tipping points were being knocked or pushed toward critical thresholds during the 2023–2024 period. Two of the clearest examples […]
Tipping Point Season: Permafrost Thaw Simplified
by Daniel Brouse Tonight’s homework assignment: Tipping Point Season. Now that we’re deep into Tipping Point Season, my first assignment was to identify the most observable tipping points emerging this season and compare them with what we were seeing last season. Tonight’s publishing is Permafrost Thaw: The Sequel. The first chapter was the 2023 warning […]
HOW IS CLIMATE ENERGY HITTING YOU? The First Law of Thermodynamics
by Daniel Brouse The First Law of Thermodynamics and the Redistribution of Earth’s Excess Energy Energy Cannot Be Created or Destroyed The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed is known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, or the First Law of Thermodynamics. In simple terms, the total energy within an isolated system […]

How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Backyard Megapitfall Traps
by Daniel Brouse Public Access Introduction 🌎 HOW IS CLIMATE ENERGY HITTING YOU? 🏊 Backyard Megapitfall Traps: A Changing Ecosystem for Frogs, Spiders & Worms What can a swimming pool tell us about climate change? More than you might think. A backyard pool can unintentionally become a giant ecological trap—and an unexpected biological sensor. 🪱 […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? Fluidization Physics
by Daniel Brouse How Potential Energy Becomes Kinetic Energy—and How a Falling Mass Can Become Fluidized Rocky Rex said, “The ice mass (or composite) came out of a hanging valley that contained a cirque, possibly starting to move as a rotational slump. So there’s a lot of potential energy right at the start of the […]
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? A: Like Wet Concrete
by Daniel Brouse How Is Climate Energy Hitting You Nepal-Tibet? A: Like Wet Concrete (Fluidize Physics) Heat melts ice. Meltwater changes friction. Water infiltrates soil. Pore pressure rises. Permafrost thaws. Slopes weaken. Glaciers destabilize. Gravity converts elevation into kinetic energy. Moving water entrains sediment. Sediment increases density. Increasing density increases the potential force of the […]
Sea-Level Rise: Rubbing Salt in the Wound
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee How Is Climate Energy Hitting You? The Jersey Shore Is Sure Sea-Level Rise: Rubbing Salt in the Wound Sea-level rise is not simply a matter of the ocean getting higher. Climate change is altering the physical forces that move water toward and onto the shoreline. Rising seas, changing atmospheric […]
