by Daniel Brouse Scientists wrote in the journal Nature Geoscience, “Given currently available records, the present anthropogenic carbon release rate is unprecedented during the past 66 million years.” The largest known natural surge is believed to have happened 56 million years ago and was likely caused by a release of frozen methane beneath the seabed.

Feedback Loops
Feedback loops accelerate global warming. In the 1990’s, the Membrane Domain started publishing research on human induced climate change. The research team was the first to put forth the hypothesis that global warming is an exponential phenomenon. Up to that point, the scientific community had based their forecasts on a linear event. The Membrane Domain […]

Greenland Is Melting
NASA — Greenland’s snowy surface has been getting darker over the past two decades, absorbing more heat from the sun and increasing snow melt, a new study of satellite data shows. That trend is likely to continue, with the surface’s reflectivity, or albedo, decreasing by as much as 10 percent by the end of the […]

Oceans Rising at Fastest Rate
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences states that oceans are rising at a faster rate than any time in the last 3,000 years. “We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries,” said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist […]
The Fall of the Arctic King
Famous wildlife photographer, Sebastian Copeland, utilized a graphic picture to raise awareness of human induced climate change. “‘For the state of the ice in general, we’re headed into uncharted territory. There’s no doubt about it. The frozen remains of this young bear point to starvation. The faster retreat of the sea ice, a bear’s favoured […]

Contrails Versus Chemtrails
by Daniel Brouse When jet engines fly across the sky, there are two different things that happen. Both are likely causing harm to the environment. Neither are being done on purpose. That is to say — there is no conspiracy to spray chemicals. There is no such thing as intentional “chemtrails”. What is really happening? […]

Significant Climate Events
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) > November 2015 was the warmest November on record for the globe. > January-November 2015 (YTD) was the warmest such period on record for the globe. > September-November (N. Hemisphere fall) was the warmest such period on record for the globe. > The November 2015 average global sea surface […]

Accidental Geoengineering: Jet Contrails Linked to Ice Haze
The BBC reports that scientists have been looking for a reason why the total amount of solar radiation reaching the earth’s surface has been increasing. A study suggests that part of the reason is that jet exhausts could be generating a layer of ice crystals that promotes a more diffuse type of light. This is […]

Diet And Global Warming
For quite some time, the scientific consensus has been eating meat is worse for the environment than being a vegetarian; however, a new study found a very different result. Lettuce is “over three times worse in greenhouse gas emissions than eating bacon,” according to researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University. Paul Fischbeck, study co-author and […]
