by Daniel Brouse December 10, 2023 As the Earth warms, the air will hold more moisture (water vapor). When more moisture-laden air moves over land it can create atmospheric rivers. In the Northwestern USA, the atmospheric rivers are commonly called the Pineapple Express. The Journal EOS in the article Atmospheric Rivers Spur High-Tide Floods on […]

Climate Change and the Carbon Feedback Loop
by Daniel Brouse The atmosphere is acting like a blanket… and the earth (land and sea) is acting like a battery. 91% of the energy (as heat) is trapped/stored in the oceans. Feedback Loops Example The Albedo feedback loop between the earth and the CO2 in the atmosphere accelerates global warming at an exponential rate. […]

The Snowfall Feedback Loop
by Daniel Brouse November 26, 2023 Global warming is causing warmer and shorter winters. Not only are White Christmases less frequent, so are icebergs, sea ice, and glaciers. An analysis and maps from NOAA found snowfall is declining globally as temperatures warm due to anthropological climate change. As the atmosphere’s heat and humidity increase, precipitation […]

Climate Change: 2023 the Year in Review
by Sidd Mukherjee and Daniel Brouse Sidd said, “Do you remember back in the early 2000’s when we thought we wouldn’t live to see the extreme changes due to global warming?” Daniel replied, “I think 2023 is the most significant year so far. We saw confirmation of tipping points being crossed for Mountain Glacier Loss, […]

The Domino Effect / Snowball Effect
by Brouse and Mukherjee Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no […]

October 2023 Record Heat
November 2023 The planet added another record-breaking month to 2023, with October ranking as the warmest October in the 174-year global climate record. Last month was also 2023’s fifth month in a row of record-warm global temperatures, according to scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. The average global temperature for October was 2.41°F […]

Deadly Humid Heat in the USA
Deadly humid heat affects billions including the US Midwest this century. “It’s very disturbing,” study co-author Matthew Huber of Purdue University. “It’s going to send a lot of people to emergency medical care.” The study Greatly enhanced risk to humans as a consequence of empirically determined lower moist heat stress tolerance was conducted by Purdue […]

Climate Change: Rate of Acceleration
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukhurjee August 25, 2023 How fast are humans causing the climate to change? When we started our experiments in the 1990’s, we thought the time scale was in millenniums. If climate change were happening on a linear basis, we would have been correct; however, by the late 90’s we were […]
