The Cost of Climate Change: Rising Homeowners Insurance Rates

The average annual homeowners insurance premium for a $300,000 house varies widely by state, driven by factors like natural disaster risks, repair costs, and location-specific risks. For example, in states with frequent hurricanes, like Florida, the average premium is exceptionally high, around $10,996. In contrast, Idaho has a more affordable rate, at around $1,636, while […]

Economic Outlook 2025 – 2035

During the first Trump administration, tax cuts initially accelerated economic growth but led to increased federal deficit spending, which soon drove up borrowing costs and ultimately slowed the economy. While many attributed the initial supply chain issues and inflationary pressures primarily to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first inflationary event was actually sparked by climate change—the […]

COVID-19 Update

by Daniel Brouse November 4, 2024 COVID-19 has a lasting impact on the immune system, with studies showing that the virus can disrupt immune responses even after the initial infection. Unlike what occurs with many viral infections, natural immunity from COVID-19 doesn’t fully prevent reinfection or immune system suppression. Instead, research suggests that COVID-19 can […]

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 […]

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 […]

South Korea: Climate Law Fails to Protect Basic Rights

South Korea’s top court ruled in August of 2024 that the country’s climate change law does not adequately protect basic human rights and lacks sufficient targets to safeguard future generations. This landmark decision comes after activists accused the government of failing to effectively address the climate crisis. Since 2020, more than 200 plaintiffs, including young […]

Canadian Wildfires: Over the Tipping Point

by Daniel Brouse August 28, 2024 A study published in the Journal Nature found Canada’s 2023 wildfires released more carbon into the atmosphere than the annual emissions of all but three countries, underscoring a troubling trend. A new study raises serious concerns that Canada’s forests, long considered crucial carbon sinks, may no longer reliably absorb […]

Long-COVID Persistent Virus With Long-Term Costs

By Daniel Brouse August 20, 2024 A new study in Australia has found about $9.6 billion was lost in economic productivity due to long COVID in 2022. Researchers say that represented about a quarter of Australia’s real gross domestic product growth for that year. With the U.S. having about 90 million more cases than Australia, […]
