The UK Embassy, Washington, hosted a Climate Security Tweetathon yesterday, sponsored by the Center for Climate and Security and the Center for a New American Security. In the spirit of the special relationship between the US and the UK, it included a Q&A session via twitter, with CCS Advisory Board member Rear Admiral David Titley, US Navy (ret) and Rear Admiral Neil Morisetti, British Royal Navy (ret). The tweetathon was part of a broader effort by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) on climate change. The US and the UK have a history of leadership in the climate-security space (see here and here for more). Below is a transcript of the Climate Security Q&A with Admiral Titley and Admiral Morisetti, (which is very nuanced, given the 140 character twitter limit). For additional tweets on climate security see @CntrClimSec on Twitter.

What does melting sea ice in the Arctic have to do with the barbarism of the Islamic State?
The answer is scary: Rising sea levels eventually will overrun some Pacific island nations and will turn many low-lying villages around the globe into ghost towns. Where will the uprooted inhabitants go?

At its heart, climate change is not about stranded polar bears on rapidly diminishing ice sheets; it is an issue of human life and well-being that hits the vulnerable the hardest. That was the overarching message of a three-person panel discussion at Marymount University in Arlington Oct. 22.
Entitled “Catholics and Climate Change: Faith, Security and Health Perspectives,” the event was in part a response to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ support of a national carbon pollution standard and call to build solutions to climate change on a foundation of economic and social justice.

When conducting a recent Google image search on climate change, Penn State University meteorology professor and retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Dave Titley said that one-third of the images he found showed pictures of polar bears.
But the focus of Titley’s lecture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Oct. 30 was on people and climate change. It’s the effects of climate change on people, not animals, that will change national energy policies, he said.
