If you want to see how 'securitisation' works in politics (the reframing of political issues as issues of national security), the UK's report on El Niño is a classic example. This is not to say that the assessment of the likely (ongoing & future) impact of El Niño & climate change is wrong, nor that making clear(er) the wide(r) impact of the changing weather is unwelcome, but it does indicate how our the argument(s) around the environment are changing. #ClimateChange https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/sep/23/uk-climate-crisis-national-security-report-suppressed-starmer-ed-miliband
