Question: Can you actually prove there was “no widespread corporate price gouging”? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around like, Kellogg’s, grocery prices quadrupling in some cases. Overview There wasn’t widespread corporate price gouging, which is illegal and has been prosecuted in isolated cases, mainly among small companies. Price rises primarily stemmed from supply and […]

Economic Outlook 2025 – 2035
During the first Trump administration, tax cuts initially accelerated economic growth but led to increased federal deficit spending, which soon drove up borrowing costs and ultimately slowed the economy. While many attributed the initial supply chain issues and inflationary pressures primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first inflationary event was actually sparked by climate change—the […]

Climate Change Update: Climate Change Rate of Acceleration
by Daniel Brouse October 30, 2024 A recent study has verified our thesis on accelerating climate change, aligning closely with the extreme conditions now affecting our area. In 2023, nearly half (48%) of the Earth’s land area experienced at least one month of extreme drought, a sharp increase from the 1980s’ average of just 15%. […]

Climate Update: Trees and the Carbon Cycle
by Daniel Brouse October 29, 2024 I’ve been seeing many well-meaning but misinformed memes about trees and carbon. Last year, for the first time in modern history, trees did not reduce atmospheric carbon levels, and the soil carbon sink has entered a positive feedback loop, reversing the natural carbon cycle. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t […]

Climate Change Update: Drought Conditions and Atmospheric Rivers in Philadelphia
By Daniel Brouse October 27, 2024 The Philadelphia area is currently experiencing a severe drought, which is exacerbating the region’s vulnerability to extreme weather events. Recently, the area has also seen a significant increase in the intensity and frequency of severe rainstorms. This pattern of extended drought followed by intense rainfall events can be particularly […]

The Trump Trade
Why have interest rates been going up after the Fed cut rates? Because investors concur that Trump’s economic polices will be harmful to the economy, drive up inflation, and explode the national debt. Investors have been making “Trump Trades” based on this concern. Unfortunately, a large number of investors — approximately 75% — currently expect […]

Climate Change Time Line
by Daniel Brouse October 11, 2024 What is the past, present and future of climate change? I originated the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, that hypothesis evolved into established climate theory and is now widely recognized as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of […]

Raindrops Are Increasing in Size Due to Climate Change
By Daniel Brouse October 1, 2024 There is growing evidence that raindrops are increasing in size due to climate change and rising temperatures. Several studies suggest that global warming is influencing precipitation patterns, including the size and intensity of raindrops. Here’s a summary of the key points: 1. Increased Water Vapor in the Atmosphere Warmer […]

Violent Rain: Helene Update
By Daniel Brouse September 30, 2024 If you’re wondering why rain-related severe weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, it’s due to climate change. Rising temperatures increase the amount of humidity in the atmosphere, as warmer air holds more moisture. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation shows that for every 1°C (1.8°F) increase in temperature, the air […]

Climate Change: 9 Day Tsunami Seismic Event
by Daniel Brouse September 13, 2024 A seismic event, triggered by climate change, shook the Earth for nine days following a 650-foot tsunami in Greenland. As permafrost and glaciers melt, the ground becomes unstable. In this case, melting in East Greenland caused the collapse of a mountain, leading to a landslide that impacted the ocean […]
