What IR & pol sci say on climate & decarbonization is mostly: 1) narrow UNFCCC focus (the classical policy field & #39;climate / energy policy& #39;); & 2) a generic mix of different tech & econ angles (& #39;how tech will save us& #39;). Example of the latter here in FA. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2020-04-13/paths-net-zero?fa_package=1125847">https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/... 1/2
Inaccuracies in that piece re tech, regulation & even basic science but worth reading (self-test: if nothing stands out, you& #39;re well adjusted to the generic pol sci language on climate / decarbonization).

This piece is better & should give you access. https://twitter.com/n_thanki/status/1250366109490044928?s=20">https://twitter.com/n_thanki/... 2/2
A science inaccuracy merits pointing out:

"aviation—which makes up only 2% of global emissions but is growing rapidly & creates condensation https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear" aria-label="Emoji: Face screaming in fear"> trails in the sky that double https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> its warming effect—"

couple of things wrong here. David G Victor is considered expert on this https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Man shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Man shrugging">. 3/2

oh and climate clubs will save us no more than tech, sorry Nordhaus. great literature in this thread for all you nerds: https://twitter.com/greenprofgreen/status/1250418808050810880?s=20">https://twitter.com/greenprof... 4/2
