From Event Attribution to Cascade Attribution: Nonlinear Climate Dynamics and Feedback Coupling
by Daniel Brouse Abstract The 2026 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report on extreme event attribution marks a significant milestone in climate science. It demonstrates that researchers can now rigorously quantify how human-induced climate change has altered the probability and intensity of many individual extreme weather events. While the report focuses on […]
From Prediction to Proof: The New Era of Climate Attribution Science
by Daniel Brouse Extreme Weather Is No Longer Just Consistent with Climate Change—It Can Be Scientifically Attributed to It A landmark 2026 report from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) marks a major milestone in climate science. For decades, scientists could say that climate change made extreme weather more likely. Today, […]
What Are the Odds? An Estate Plan for the Next Seven Generations
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee When I began this journey more than three decades ago, I wasn’t a climate researcher. I was a financial planner specializing in business, economics, estate planning, and risk management. My academic background included economics, philosophy, and extensive study in physics, calculus, statistics, and systems analysis. My career focused on […]

The Collapse of Climate Predictability
by Daniel Brouse How Coupled Climate Feedbacks Are Changing Earth’s Behavior Abstract For much of the modern scientific era, Earth’s major climate oscillations were studied as largely independent systems. Phenomena such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Indian Ocean […]
The Collapse of Climate Predictability: Emerging Coupled Climate Systems
The Super El Niño–Atlantic Niña coupling is one of the clearest examples of how formerly semi-independent climate oscillations are becoming more tightly linked in a warmer world. But it is far from the only coupling now being observed. Increasing ocean heat content, declining sea ice, changing atmospheric circulation, and enhanced moisture transport are creating new […]
The Collapse of Climate Predictability: The Pacific Super El Niño–Atlantic Niña Coupling in a Rapidly Changing Earth System
by Daniel Brouse Multiple climate indicators now point to rates of warming-related disruption far beyond those observed during the modern instrumental era. There is no well-established geological analog for a sustained, multi-variable, decade-scale pattern of accelerating change across the full Earth system at the resolution available in contemporary observations. If sustained, this may represent one […]
