Headline: “Woman Who Shot Her Dog Will Head Us Homeland Security” Kristi Noem faced widespread backlash in April this year when she wrote in a memoir that she shot to death an “untrainable” dog that she “hated” on her family farm. The Rise of Public Sadism and Cruelty Part of my recent study reveals a […]

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 […]

Inflation and the Fallacy of Price Gouging and Corporate Greed
Question: Can you actually prove there was “no widespread corporate price gouging”? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around like, Kellogg’s, grocery prices quadrupling in some cases. Overview There wasn’t widespread corporate price gouging, which is illegal and has been prosecuted in isolated cases, mainly among small companies. Price rises primarily stemmed from supply and […]

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 Change Update: Climate Change Rate of Acceleration
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 […]

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 […]
