Hello! I'm trying to build my awareness of climate security experts across the disciplines in U.K. academia.

If you're doing research relevant to cli sec - can you tell me a few buzz words to summarise your focus so I can add you to my list of expertise?

[Sam Hall @samuelhall0]

This is an important thread from @DrSimEvans on what the NIC assessment yesterday said about net zero costs. Too little of the net zero cost debate considers costs of climate change impacts or fossil fuel infrastructure. There isn’t a cost-free ‘do nothing’ option.

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

Carbon emissions from international shipping exceed those of a highly industrialised country such as Germany.

And 40% of all cargo (by weight) are fossil fuels on their way to be burned or chemicals derived directly from fossil fuels.

Latest @UKParliament select committee report on #Arctic is out! I was grateful for the opportunity to give evidence @LboroIRPH

[Environmental Audit Committee @CommonsEAC]

Increasing economic activities as a result of receding sea ice in the Arctic must not be at the expense of the environment or Arctic Indigenous Peoples.

A Tufton St guide to "honest debate" on net-zero (cont)

4⃣Pretend fossil-based tech is free
5⃣Ignore saving of buying less fossil fuel
6⃣Confuse MW & MWh so you can say wind costs £1,300,000/MWh (reality is £50-70/MWh)
7⃣Falsely assert gas power must close early & make up cost

[Josh Milburn @JoshLMilburn]

My 'Animals and the ethics of war', co-authored with @Dr_SVG, has been published in its final form in @IntRelationsJ. The #openaccess paper maps out a research agenda for a genuinely inclusive account of #justwar.

[The Military Emissions Gap @milemissionsgap]

The final panel of the day explores how militaries can decarbonise. @DMDepledge kicks this off: “The question isn’t can militaries decarbonise, of course they can, but will they?”

[The Military Emissions Gap @milemissionsgap]

The Military Emissions Gap conference kicks off with Linsey Cottrell of @ceobs_org explaining why the military is an important focus for global greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Join us online for a whole day of panels on military and conflict emissions ⬇️

Important warning from @IEA that government's hydrogen plans are not yet backed by the policies needed to turn a growing low carbon project pipeline into actual production capacity. https://t.co/AHRrVgSzP5

[James Murray @James_BG]

Weird thing about Sunak's reported plan to ditch climate policies is that the people who are happiest on there are those who think he's scrapping net zero altogether, which he's not.

[Ben Franta @BenFranta]

Powerful words from Governor Newsom of California

“The climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. Everything else, you’re playing around the margins, playing around the edges. This is the cause, we’re experiencing the effect, now we seek remedy, & that's what this lawsuit's about."
