EDUCATION
Real-world success in real estate, banking, finance, and investment solidified Daniel's multidisciplinary expertise. Whether immersed in music, economics, or the physical sciences, research and development remained integral to his pursuits. Risk management in the realm of economics would soon emerge as a pivotal focus.
Science and Technology
"I am a scientist, economist, and journalist publishing articles and papers since 1994. As part of a collective of scientists, we have been working on the greatest risk to humankind -- humans. Much of my effort has been spent on Anthropogenic Climate Change. In addition, I have specialized in pollution, diseases, health and wellness, and rate of change," remarked Daniel. "We first developed the hypothesis of the non-linear acceleration of climate change in the 1990s. By the early 2000s, this hypothesis evolved into established climate theory, now widely accepted as scientific fact. My lab partner, a Doctor of Physics from Ohio State, and I collaborated to provide crucial evidence supporting this theory. Over time, we have observed a significant shift in the doubling time of climate change impacts -- the rate at which the effects intensify. Initially, the doubling time was approximately 100 years, but it has since decreased to 10 years, and more recently, to just 2 years."
In 2020, Daniel initiated research into the antigen response to SARS-CoV-2, publishing his first paper on May 26, 2020, titled "COVID-19 and Air Pollution." Subsequently, he
authored numerous papers on COVID, exploring facets such as "long-COVID: What we know about Long Haulers Syndrome," "COVID in Your Genes," "COVID: The Natural Immunity Myth," "COVID, Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic Acid), and the Immune System," "NAD+ Plus Immune System Diet," and "COVID Mutation and Variant Threats."

* Our climate model employs
chaos theory to comprehensively consider human impacts and projects a potential global average temperature increase of 9℃ above pre-industrial levels. Global warming is a consequence of elevated thermal energy in the climate system, which comprises various subsystems. Chaos theory underscores the intricate and nonlinear nature of dynamic systems. Human well-being is compromised above a 1.5-degree temperature rise, rendering much of the Earth uninhabitable. A 9-degree Celsius increase would bring the Earth close to a wet-bulb temperature incapable of sustaining human life.
How Risk Management Turns to Crisis Management By the 1990s, it had become clear that the greatest risk to humans is, indeed, humans. First, climate change climbed from a substantial risk to an impending crisis. By the 2000s, the aging population emerged as the leading risk to short-term economic sustainability. Today, these two risks -- human-induced climate change and an aging population -- have combined and evolved into an existential crisis. This is not to say that we should give up hope or abandon ship. Quite the contrary. Acknowledging the gravity of our circumstances makes it essential to invoke a robust and effective crisis management plan. What follows is an exploration of these intertwined crises and the paths forward to mitigate them.
Quotes
Daniel graduated from West Chester East High School in 1980. Bolstered by an academic scholarship, he pursued his undergraduate studies at West Chester University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Economics with a minor in Philosophy. Displaying prowess in math and science, Daniel became WCU's inaugural statistics tutor. In 1984, he graduated Magna Cum Laude, gaining induction into the Phi Sigma Tau international honor society for philosophers and Pi Gamma Mu, the oldest and premier honor society in the social sciences.
Daniel's early aptitude in geology, biology, anthropology, meteorology, chemistry, physics, and astronomy laid the foundation for a lifelong preoccupation with science and technology. Remarkably, by the age of 18, he had developed the world's first computer program for filing federal tax returns. In his 20s, Daniel collaborated with physicist Sidd Mukherjee from Ohio State University, pioneering much of the original worldwide web. Together, they created the first web-based publishing platform for artists and scientists, notably through
The Philadelphia Spirit Experiment Publishing Company (membrane.com)
and the global platform KingArthur.com. Included in the technological pioneering was Glistening Trail Records, the first web-based record company, music videos, and streaming service. The duo also published groundbreaking research on climate change, being among the first to recognize its exponential rather than linear progression.
In 2023, Daniel published "The Age of Loss and Damage (Climate Change Economics and the Exponential Costs to Society)." This groundbreaking work introduces a novel perspective on economics by merging economics, climate science, statistics, and physics. Departing from traditional economic models ill-equipped to comprehend the full scope of climate damage, Daniel's approach rejects the limitations of "integrated assessment models" (IAMs). Instead, he advocates for considering alternative functions, like the exponential model, better suited for capturing rapid changes in the context of climate change. The Age of Loss and Damage economics focuses on the exponential costs of climate change to society, departing from the conventional "costs and benefits" approach.
I have spent my life in the study and implementation of risk management. I obtained degrees with honors and academic accolades in economics, philosophy, and logic, including becoming the youngest subscriber to the Federal Reserve’s “Beige Book,” the country’s youngest university-level statistics tutor, and an inductee into both the Pi Gamma Mu and Phi Sigma Tau honor societies. This foundation was followed by 40 years of research, development, and real-world experience in risk management.How Risk Management Turns to Crisis Management
In 1997, his mentor Sidd Mukherjee remarked, "You do not suffer fools gladly."
In 2007, his son Christopher Brouse astutely observed, "Dad, you are a little too smart for your own good."
