Better Sewers Will Save Lives Flooding in Los Angeles is a preview of what will become much more common as climate change accelerates.

Sea walls get the headlines, but climate change is making clear that sewers and drainage systems are also in dire need of an upgrade.

I wrote about California's flooding and urban drainage issues for @tnr.bsky.social:

@chriswblair.bsky.social and @sabrinabarias.bsky.social have an excellent working paper on this in the US, looking at exposure to hurricanes, effects on climate beliefs and attitudes toward climate migration policies, and duration of effects: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Political Science, Authoritarianism, and Climate Change A political science article claimed that if democracy fails to adequately respond to the climate crisis, then 'political legitimacy may require adopting a more authoritarian approach.' A furor ensued ...

I'm teaching about eco-authoritarianism today and am very happy that I wrote this piece nearly two years ago now. I still think polisci readers might appreciate it.

The UN has a zero tolerance policy for SEA by UN peacekeepers- in a new article with Radwa Saad and Laura Huber, we find that there are two negative effects from the zero tolerance policy: 1) gender segregation 2) violence against female peacekeepers. See here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....
