by Daniel Brouse Climate change brings with it the inevitability of rising sea levels. Even if green house gas emissions were stopped completely, the sea will continue to rise for hundreds or thousands of years. Not only will the submerged properties be affected by the rising tides, so will all the new island properties. Initially, […]

Antarctic Ice Sheet Is Melting at Accelerated Rate
The Word Economic Forum published the report The Antarctic ice sheet is melting. And this is bad news for humanity. * The Antarctic ice sheet has been strongly decreasing since 2016. * If left unchecked, the complete melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet would cause a global sea level increase of 3.3 metres in […]

Climate Change Impacts on Flood Risks and Real Estate Values
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee February 26, 2023 Climate change poses many risks to real estate values. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that […]

Real Estate Underwater: Displacement and Climate Refugees
by Daniel Brouse February 22, 2023 For years climate scientists have been trying to develop models for the real estate market impacted by rising sea levels. Florida is proving to be a microcosm of coastal real estate. “Everybody thinks this is a God-given sea level,” Harold Wanless, who heads the University of Miami’s geology department […]

Managed Retreat: Relocating Due to Climate Change Extreme Weather Events
The Politico article Dream homes and disasters: Is the government ready to confront climate risk? explains the need for “Managed Retreat”. “The fact that official Washington is finally addressing the concept of some areas being too vulnerable to insure is noteworthy….” “For decades, lawmakers and federal agencies in Washington, D.C., have resisted taking harsh action […]

Global Carbon Budget 2022
The Global Carbon Budget 2022 was published by Earth System Science Data. The report says if emissions aren’t brought down, the world will use up its 1.5-degree-Celsius carbon budget — the amount of CO2 we can emit and stay within 1.5C — within nine years. After go beyond 1.5C the amount of tipping points crossed […]

1/3 of World Heritage Glaciers Will Disappear by 2050
The United Nations says, “New UNESCO data highlight the accelerated melting of glaciers in World Heritage sites, with glaciers in a third of sites set to disappear by 2050. But it is still possible to save the other two thirds, if the rise in global temperatures does not exceed 1.5°C compared to the pre-industrial period.” […]

Antarctica and Greenland Ice Melt Faster Than Anticipated
Antarctica’s Collapse Could Begin Even Sooner Than Anticipated The article in Scientific American states, “Two expeditions to the Thwaites Ice Shelf have revealed that it could splinter apart in less than a decade, hastening sea-level rise worldwide. “As Scambos and Wild gazed down from their Twin Otter plane this past January, they spotted several new […]

Antarctic Ice Sheet and Accelerating Ice loss
A discovery made by researchers at Imperial College London, the University of Waterloo, Canada, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, and Newcastle University, shows a river longer than the Thames beneath Antarctic ice sheet. The study explains how the Antarctic ice sheet has a river running under it. The headline “longer than the Thames” isn’t the thrust of […]

Climate Change: Flesh Eating Bacteria
The side effects of climate change are far reaching. Lee County, Florida is where hurricane Ian made landfall. Storm surges and subsequent flooding led to a spike in the potentially deadly infections caused by Vibrio vulnificus. The flesh eating species of bacteria is found in warm, brackish water. One species, Vibrio vulnificus, can cause life-threatening […]
