Podcast appearances and mentions of Neta C Crawford

Afflicted by the tyranny of the immediate journalists around the world, report on conflicts and try to tell their stories about the tragedy of war while integrating the exploding costs of climate change. No one group is more aware of this challenge than those behind Covering Climate Now and so to further understand this dilemma it staged the press briefing "War and Climate Change". Neta C. Crawford, who was at Brown University when she wrote the paper: "Pentagon Fuel Use, Climate Change, and the Costs of War" was one of three reporters on the panel. Following that theme was an opinion piece from Politico Magazine by Sherri Goodman and Leah Emanuel: "Why You Won't Hear the Military Arguing About Climate Change".

In the last 20 years, the U.S. and its allies significantly expanded their military and security infrastructures. But as America pivots from the War on Terror, new areas of focus have begun to take center stage, including the militarization of space and rising tensions with China. Is there a better way to meet our basic security responsibilities without militarizing across society? Carnegie Council President Joel Rosenthal discusses these issues with security experts Elliot Ackerman, Neta C. Crawford, and Ned Dobos. This special event was inspired by the Ethics, Security, and the War-Machine book symposium recently published in the Fall 2021 issue of Carnegie Council's Ethics & International Affairs journal.

The military budget is at its highest level since World War II, but where exactly does all that money go and what wars are we even fighting these days? In this episode, Amy Walter finds out how much is being spent and how the money aligns with the military's strategic goals for the future of warfare. Plus, a look at how active duty service members feel about their commander-in-chief. And one retired colonel raises concerns about the way President Trump is politicizing the military.  Guests: Staff Sergeant Patricia King Ambassador Eric Edelman Dave Lindorff, an investigative reporter and a contributor to The Nation Meghann Myers, a Senior Reporter for Army Times Neta C. Crawford, Professor of Political Science, Boston University and co-director of the Costs of War Project at Brown University Dr. Isaiah Wilson III, a retired Army colonel, and a senior lecturer with Yale University’s Jackson Institute for Global Affairs Note: Mark Skidmore reached out directly to us to clarify his position: "My opinion is that the reports from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) are too vague to draw any conclusions and we need access to the underlying data. I am unable to determine whether these massive adjustments are "plugs" or potentially large amounts of money flowing in and out of the DOD financial system. For reasons described here, I do not dismiss the possibility that these unverified transactions could represent more than made up numbers or plugs."
