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?

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 isnāt a cost-free ādo nothingā option.
UK media & net-zero A parable in 4 parts, after y'day's @NatInfraCom rpt 1) Daily Mail makes up* "Ā£1tn cost of net-zero" 2) Mail comment slams "Ā£1tn" 3) Sun piles in too 4) NIC itself says its plan wld cut hhold costs Short THREAD

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. Graph by @edans

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. #animalrights #animalethics

Animals have been almost entirely absent from scholarly appraisals of the ethics of war. Just-war theory concerns when communities may permissibly resort to war...

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.

Number of clean hydrogen projects continues to 'expand rapidly' but developers are waiting on government policy decisions before investing, IEA warns

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.

Powerful words from Governor Newsom of California āThe climate crisis is a fossil fuel crisis. Everything else, youāre playing around the margins, playing around the edges. This is the cause, weāre experiencing the effect, now we seek remedy, & that's what this lawsuit's about."
The state of California is suing five major fossil fuel companies over their contribution to the climate crisis. Just listen to these unflinching words by governor @GavinNewsom. History in the makingā¦. #EndFossilFuel
