Canadian Wildfires: Over the Tipping Point

by Daniel Brouse August 28, 2024 A study published in the Journal Nature found Canada’s 2023 wildfires released more carbon into the atmosphere than the annual emissions of all but three countries, underscoring a troubling trend. A new study raises serious concerns that Canada’s forests, long considered crucial carbon sinks, may no longer reliably absorb […]

Coral Reefs’ Tipping Point

by Daniel Brouse February 14, 2024 Coral reefs confront unprecedented challenges arising from various stressors, many of which are directly tied to human activities. Some of these stressors possess critical tipping points, surpassing which can lead to the collapse of coral ecosystems. According to the European Geosciences Union’s statement on January 2, 2024, specific tipping […]

Climate Change and the Carbon Feedback Loop

by Daniel Brouse The atmosphere is acting like a blanket… and the earth (land and sea) is acting like a battery. 91% of the energy (as heat) is trapped/stored in the oceans. Feedback Loops Example The Albedo feedback loop between the earth and the CO2 in the atmosphere accelerates global warming at an exponential rate. […]

The Snowfall Feedback Loop

by Daniel Brouse November 26, 2023 Global warming is causing warmer and shorter winters. Not only are White Christmases less frequent, so are icebergs, sea ice, and glaciers. An analysis and maps from NOAA found snowfall is declining globally as temperatures warm due to anthropological climate change. As the atmosphere’s heat and humidity increase, precipitation […]

The Domino Effect / Snowball Effect

by Brouse and Mukherjee Tipping points are Critical Milestones that directly impact the rate of acceleration in climate change by multiplying the number and intensity of feedback loops. Push a glass toward the edge of a table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no […]

The Lightning Feedback Loop

by Daniel Brouse November 11, 2023 Feedback is the process in which changing one quantity changes a second quantity, and the change in the second quantity in turn changes the first. Positive feedback loops amplify the change in the first quantity. Studies have found lightning and forest fires are creating a feedback loop. More lightning […]

Rio Negro Climate Change Case Study

by Daniel Brouse November 11, 2023 What do you know about the Rio Negro as it relates to climate change and carbon sinks? The Rio Negro gets its name from its color. The black water is caused by highly acidic and carbon rich water. One scientist that lives on the river called it similar to […]

Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect

By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee September 29, 2023 A look at three (3) of the multiple tipping points we appear to have breached and The Domino Effect: Mountain Glacier Loss Collapse of AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) Amazon Rainforest Dieback Crossing one tipping point would be alarming. For instance, crossing the tipping point for […]

Climate Change: the Equation

By Daniel Brouse August 5, 2023 I’ve been thinking about the giant global warming formula that has been formulating in my head for the last few decades. Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). Though the equation is complex… too complicated to write down… I’ve lately begun considering […]

Climate Change: How Long Is “Ever”?

By Daniel Brouse July 8, 2023 How long is “ever”… as in “the hottest it’s ever been in recorded history”? During the first week of July 2023, the Earth had the hottest days ever. Humans are about 200,000 years old with our closest variety being dated to about 140,000 years ago. The earliest “recording of […]
