Climate Transition Risk, ESG Rating Divergence and Portfolio Performance: Evidence From Composite Scores and Climate‐Adjusted Factor Models

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how ESG rating divergences and climate transition risks jointly influence portfolio performance. Using a newly constructed composite Environmental (E) score derived from principal component analysis (PCA) across three leading ESG providers (Eikon, RobecoSAM, Sustainalytics), we build industry‐adjusted portfolios for 389

Nuclear Magnetohydrodynamic EMP, Solar Storms, and Substorms

, 2003
In addition to a fast electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a high altitude nuclear burst produces a relatively slow magnetohydrodynarnic EMP (MHD EMP), whose effects are like those from solar storm geomagnetically induced currents (SS GIC).

Protected and productive: How greenhouses should deliver UK food security

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The United Kingdom produces less than 20% of its fruit and ~50% of its vegetables, leaving it highly import dependent and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions. Our study maps 2085 ha of existing greenhouses, over 70% more than 40 years old, and identifies where modern infrastructure could expand production.
