Trump’s Misleading “Victory Lap” Over IPCC Climate Models Recent climate-modeling research published in Geoscientific Model Development has led some scientists to reduce the likelihood of the most extreme emissions pathway historically known as RCP8.5 (later SSP5-8.5). That scenario assumed extraordinarily high future fossil-fuel consumption combined with limited climate policy and continued acceleration of greenhouse gas […]

The Reality of Modern Climate Change
One of the most common arguments made by climate-change denialists is that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) is beneficial for the environment. Because plants use CO₂ during photosynthesis, denialists often claim that increasing concentrations will simply make Earth greener and more productive. Many also argue that the current warming trend is merely part of a […]

Nagatitan: The Giant Dinosaur Forged by a Greenhouse Earth
by Daniel Brouse / May 15, 2026 Scientists in Thailand have announced the discovery of Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis, the largest dinosaur ever found in Southeast Asia. The colossal long-necked sauropod weighed as much as 27 tonnes — roughly the mass of nine elephants — and stretched nearly 27 meters (89 feet) in length, making it about […]

Oil Forecast: Record Highs Before Structural Collapse?
What is likely to happen to the price of oil? While the future is uncertain, the highest-probability outcome may be a period of the highest oil prices in history followed by some of the lowest sustained prices in modern history. In the short term, geopolitical instability, supply disruptions, war risk, and constrained global production capacity […]

The Potato Myth: One of the World’s Most Nutritious Foods Has Been Unfairly Demonized
The potato is often unfairly criticized by misinformed individuals who confuse the vegetable itself with the unhealthy ways it is sometimes prepared. In reality, potatoes are among the most nutritious, affordable, and versatile foods on Earth. For centuries, potatoes have sustained entire populations because they provide an impressive combination of vitamins, minerals, fiber, quality carbohydrates, […]

Ozone Feedbacks From Carbon Combustion
Tropospheric Ozone, Ecosystem Collapse, and the Failure of Biofuel Narratives Daniel Brouse & Sidd Mukherjee May 9, 2026 Abstract Tropospheric ozone has emerged as one of the most underestimated systemic threats within the climate crisis. While carbon dioxide remains the primary driver of anthropogenic warming, ground-level ozone functions as a powerful secondary feedback mechanism capable […]

Ash Devils and Black Rain: Two Extreme Fire–Carbon Phenomena Emerging From Intensifying Disasters
In early May 2026, two striking and very different atmospheric events emerged from fire- and carbon-intensive systems: ash devils in Southern California wildfires and reports of “black rain” in the Black Sea region following industrial strikes. While geographically and causally distinct, both reflect a broader pattern in which human-driven combustion, infrastructure stress, and atmospheric feedbacks […]

The Accidental Climate Accelerator: How Global Conflict and China’s Solar Surge Are Reshaping Energy Faster Than Policy
The good news is that, regardless of intent or framing, Trump’s recent policy choices have significantly accelerated investment and deployment in green energy—arguably contributing, in an unintended way, to one of the fastest transitions in energy technology in modern history. Despite the short-term negative impacts of current geopolitical tensions and energy policy disruptions on climate […]

Record Exports, Rising Costs: The Hidden Tradeoffs of America’s Oil Boom
The United States reached a record-breaking 12.9 million barrels per day (bpd) in total crude oil and petroleum product exports for the week ending April 17, 2026. On paper, this milestone reinforces the narrative of American “energy dominance.” In practice, it reveals a far more complex—and costly—reality. The Refinery Mismatch: Why the U.S. Imports Oil […]

Heat Health Risks
Heat stress is not just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. Rising exposure:Over the past four years, the average person has experienced 19 days per year of life-threatening heat, driven almost entirely by human-caused warming. Severe health impacts:Extreme heat can trigger heatstroke, dehydration, and kidney injury, while also worsening existing heart and lung conditions. Accelerated aging:Prolonged exposure to extreme […]
