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 […]

Global Courts Shift Climate Change from Moral Imperative to Legal Obligation
by Daniel Brouse July 23, 2025 “The ICJ opinion explicitly connects environmental degradation with the erosion of fundamental human rights, including the rights to life, health, food, water, and cultural integrity.” The International Court of Justice (ICJ), the UN’s highest judicial body, issued a landmark opinion today (July 23, 2025), declaring that states have clear […]

Walk the Poop Before You Talk the Transition
By Daniel Brouse July 18, 2025 Now that many people are finally waking up to the collapse of the climate and social systems, I hope my background as an economist focused on risk management can help illuminate the path forward. Ideally, we would have followed sound risk management decades ago to avoid reaching this crisis […]

Fiscal Policy in the Chaos: How America’s Current Path Accelerates Economic Collapse
by Daniel BrouseJuly 17, 2025 I’ve been getting a lot of great questions about two nonlinear, dynamic systems: climate collapse and economic collapse. Just as the climate system consists of interconnected subsystems, so too does the world economy. This chapter examines how current U.S. fiscal policy is a critical driver within this chaotic system, accelerating […]

Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Accelerating Collapse of Earth’s Climate Systems
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeJuly 16, 2025 Introduction Research and development incorporating complex social-ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, non-linear system is profoundly challenging. A small window into this complexity can be seen in the interactions among the Albedo Feedback Loop, Brown Carbon Feedback Loop, Freshwater–AMOC Disruption Loop, Permafrost–Methane Feedback Loop, Amazon Rainforest Dieback […]

Where Will Be Safe? The Future of Human Habitation on a Rapidly Collapsing Earth
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd MukherjeeJuly 15, 2025 Q: Where will be safe to live in the coming years as climate change accelerates? Great question. The simple answer is: “Underground.” The habitability of Earth’s surface will become increasingly complicated as tipping points and cascading system failures accelerate. For the next 30 years, it will likely […]

Trump’s “Big and Brutally Ugly Bill” Triggers Fossil Fuel Expansion, Ends Solar and Wind Support, and Risks Climate, Economic, and Infrastructure Collapse
by Daniel Brouse July 4, 2025 President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act marks a seismic shift in U.S. energy, climate, and economic policy, ending decades of federal support for solar and wind while unleashing a massive expansion of oil, gas, and coal production. The House passed the megabill on Thursday following a narrow […]
