The Washington Post reported, “Home insurers cut natural disasters from policies as climate risks grow“. “Allstate, American Family, Nationwide, Erie Insurance Group and Berkshire Hathaway — have told regulators that extreme weather patterns caused by climate change have led them to stop writing coverages in some regions, exclude protections from various weather events and raise […]

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 […]

Hawaii Wildfires Increased Flow Volumes, Damage, and Deaths
By Daniel Brouse August 13, 2023 Physicist Sidd Mukherjee said, “Wind and water flow forces scale as the square of velocity, so as flow speeds increase (say due to more intense heating or heavier rain) the damage scales as the square of the velocity. That force is proportional to density times square of velocity (v^2).” […]

Climate Change: Increasing the Energy
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Technically Speaking, It’s Not the Momentum That Kills You It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end. Technically speaking it is the impact from the momentum that causes damage and deaths. Global warming causes an increase in mass and/or velocity (momentum) of things […]

Climate Change: the Equation
By Daniel Brouse August 5, 2023 I’ve been thinking about the giant global warming formula that has been formulating in my head for the last few decades. Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). Though the equation is complex… too complicated to write down… I’ve lately begun considering […]

A Tipping Point
By Daniel Brouse August 3, 2023 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 matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off […]
Climate Change: The End of Times
by Daniel Brouse July 21, 2023 What will the “End of Times” look like? In the 1990’s, we wrote a paper on the worst-case scenario entitled, “The Impact of Governance & Globalization on Forecasting (The Tunnel Under Thesis).” The theory predicted that forecasting would become increasing difficult. “The result — a figurative, as well as, […]

Climate Change: How Long Is “Ever”?
By Daniel Brouse July 8, 2023 How long is “ever”… as in “the hottest it’s ever been in recorded history”? During the first week of July 2023, the Earth had the hottest days ever. Humans are about 200,000 years old with our closest variety being dated to about 140,000 years ago. The earliest “recording of […]

Health Impacts of Air Pollution
By Daniel Brouse June 30, 2023 The health impacts of air pollution are both cumulative and irreversible. The more polluted the air, the more severe the effects. The more polluted air you breathe over time, the more severe the effects. That is to say breathing “Moderate” quality air for 3 days might be similar to […]
