by Daniel Brouse The overwhelming interest in Greenland’s dramatic iceberg rollover has raised an important question: Why should people who live thousands of miles from a glacier care? Glacial retreat reshapes nearby landscapes almost immediately, but its most significant impacts extend far beyond the Arctic. As glaciers disappear, the effects ripple through water supplies, food […]

Greenland’s Giant Iceberg Flip: A Dramatic Sign of a Rapidly Changing Arctic
by Daniel Brouse On July 25, 2026, a massive iceberg near Ilulissat, Greenland, dramatically rolled over in the ocean, sending a powerful surge of waves and mist toward the coastline. The spectacular event occurred near the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord on Greenland’s western coast, where enormous icebergs regularly break away from one of the most active […]
The Three Fastest-Accelerating Climate Extremes Since 2000
by Daniel Brouse Since 2000, three climate extremes have accelerated faster than all others in their frequency, intensity, and geographic reach: extreme heatwaves, major flooding, and heat-triggered flash droughts. 1. Extreme Heatwaves The Trend: The years 2015–2025 were the 11 warmest years ever recorded globally.The Impact: Heatwaves have become dramatically longer, hotter, and more widespread, […]

Meteorologists’ New Vocabulary: How Climate Change Is Changing the Language of Weather
by Daniel Brouse As Earth’s climate warms, meteorologists and climate scientists are increasingly relying on specialized terminology to describe weather events that were once considered rare but are now becoming more frequent and more intense. Rising global temperatures have added energy to the atmosphere, while changes in the jet stream have altered weather patterns across […]
Climate Change Today
When Weather Becomes Climate By Daniel Brouse Earth functions as a single interconnected system, and climate is one of its defining components. For much of modern science, climatology focused primarily on identifying individual causes and effects. Today, that focus has expanded toward understanding the behavior of the entire Earth system. The dynamics of complex nonlinear […]

Spoiled Soil
by Daniel Brouse Spoiled Soil What Is Happening to the Dirt Beneath Your Feet? Most people think of soil as nothing more than dirt. In reality, healthy soil may be one of the most important—and overlooked—parts of Earth’s climate system. Unlike the atmosphere, oceans, or glaciers, soil is alive. A single handful of healthy soil […]

Wildfire Smoke, Climate Feedbacks, and Ecological Paradoxes
by Daniel Brouse Wildfire Smoke, Climate Feedbacks, and Ecological Paradoxes: The Dual Impacts of Atmospheric Aerosols on Terrestrial and Marine Systems Abstract Wildfire smoke is an increasingly important variable in understanding climate impacts, ecosystem responses, and agricultural productivity. Prolonged smoke exposure can significantly reduce incoming solar radiation, creating a “sunblock” effect that suppresses photosynthesis, delays […]

The Two Sides of the Climate Crisis: Consumption and Production
by Daniel Brouse Climate change is often discussed as a problem of emissions, but emissions are the result of two interconnected forces: consumption and production. Q: What are the greatest drivers of climate change?A: Consumption and production. At present, I would rank our addiction to consumption and ecofascism as the two most significant drivers of […]
