Climate Change as an Interdisciplinary Crisis: Physics, Mathematics, Economics, and Earth Sciences
BuyLow.com and SellHigh.com are companion platforms dedicated to exploring climate change as an interdisciplinary crisis—spanning physics, mathematics, economics, and earth sciences—while aiming to explain the most complex science in the simplest, most practical terms. By the early 2000s, my lab partner (a physicist from Ohio State) and I developed a theory of nonlinear acceleration in […]

This extreme reading not only sets a new national heat record, but also underscores the region’s growing vulnerability to climate-driven extreme […]
Climate-Driven Health Collapse: The Compounding Feedback Loops of Disease, Pollution, and Extreme Weather
by Daniel Brouse — July 26, 2025 Climate change is not just an environmental issue — it is a cascading health crisis. As rising global temperatures disrupt natural systems, they initiate multiple interconnected health feedback loops that reinforce and amplify one another. These loops do not operate in isolation, nor do they follow a predictable […]
