by Daniel Brouse February 28, 2025 Human-induced climate change is directly impacting the habitability of our planet through increased thermal energy. Beyond rising temperatures, the cascading crises resulting from climate change can have immediate effects on health and wellness. The pollution caused by California wildfires, for instance, is expected to have long-term health impacts. In […]

Climate Change Wildfires
by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee About the 2023 wildfires in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green said, “For perspective, we’ve had six fire emergencies this August, we had six fire emergencies between 1953 and 2003. That’s how- how fast things are changing. I know that there is debate out there whether we should be talking about […]

How is All Real Estate at Risk From Climate Change?
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee Climate change poses risks to real estate in the United States in various ways, and these risks can affect property values, insurance costs, and overall property resilience. Here are some ways in which all US real estate is at risk from climate change: Sea Level Rise and Coastal Properties: […]

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 […]

California Homeowners Insurance Consider Climate Change Prices
California use to only allow a max of 7% increase a year on homeowners insurance… and only base premiums on past payouts on a property. Not anymore. “California will let insurance companies consider climate change when setting their prices, the state’s chief regulator announced Thursday, a move aimed at preventing insurers from fleeing the state […]

Climate Change: Insurance Risk
The 9th National Risk Assessment for Homeowners Insurance found climate risks place 39 million U.S. homes at risk of losing their insurance. “Sound pricing is going to make it unaffordable to live in certain places as climate impacts emerge.” “There’s this climate insurance bubble out there,” said Jeremy Porter, the head of climate implications at […]

Climate Change: Rate of Acceleration
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukhurjee August 25, 2023 How fast are humans causing the climate to change? When we started our experiments in the 1990’s, we thought the time scale was in millenniums. If climate change were happening on a linear basis, we would have been correct; however, by the late 90’s we were […]

Trees, Climate Change, and Wildfires
by Daniel Brouse September 5, 2022 Pollution, droughts, and pests are killing many of our trees. Climate change is involved in all these causes. In addition, climate change feedback loops are accelerating the extinction of trees. Feedback loops accelerate global warming. For example, global warming has resulted in tree deaths and deforestation. Trees are a […]

Climate Change Feedback Loops: Brown Carbon, Wildfires, and Arctic Melting
Feedback loops accelerate climate change at an exponential rate. In this case, brown carbon from wildfires warms the arctic. The warmer arctic absorbs more heat causing more wildfires. In turn, more wildfires cause more brown carbon resulting in a warmer arctic. The cycle keeps reinforcing itself as it repeats. A study published in One Earth […]
