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 […]

Political Insight: The Reverse Psychology of “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
I’ve studied what’s often labeled “Trump Derangement Syndrome” since the 1990s, and I believe the root causes include issues like racism and elements of white supremacy. Supporting someone with such views inevitably supports these ideologies, even indirectly. Some of Trump’s base might not identify as white supremacists but are drawn in due to lack of […]

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 […]

About Our Experiment
By Daniel Brouse Many people ask, “Why does a scientist engage with climate deniers?” Thanks for the concern! You’re right that, for my mental health, it might be easier to ignore them. However, as an educator, I see these interactions as an opportunity to reach a wider audience. Engaging with climate skeptics—what some might call […]

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 […]
