Decarbonisation

The $5,000,000,000,000 Lie……Stephen Fry talks about the errors in the Michael Moore film, Planet of the Humans, and says not taxing carbon is a ‘much larger cover up’.

This 15 minute You Tube film is a brilliant endorsement of carbon taxation in general and CF&D in particular (although Stephen Fry doesn’t name the policy as such). He points out that 97% of scientists agree that climate change is caused by humans and the IMF states that a 75$per tonne tax on carbon would …

Very cogent argument for CF&D by a member of the centre-right think tank, Centre for Policy Studies. Useful information if you plan to lobby a Conservative MP!

This article comes from a centre-right website CapX which… was founded to make the case for popular capitalism: now more than ever, it is vital that the case is made for markets, innovation and competition, and for policies that deliver for the masses as well as the elites. To that end, our team monitors thousands …

The Time is now 2020

Writing to your MP about the Climate Coalition 10 Point plan – a great opportunity to remind them of the benefits of CF&D which they have already acknowledged!

Many members may have received an email from the Climate Coalition requesting that they email their MP about the Coalition’s 10 point plan, (or could go to the website and find out about how to get involved). There seems to be no place for easily mentioning the benefits of CF&D in the email template. I …

Leading scientists back promoting the use of carbon capture technology.

A article in the Guardian (13/11/20) interviewing Michael Mann (author of the ‘hockey stick study) cites a letter signed by many scientists and activists, including James Hansen, which states that carbon capture technology, derided by many climate activists, has to be part of the solution. The beauty of CF&D, of course is that carbon emitting …

A good argument for Carbon Fee and Dividend by a Free Marketeer

Ambrose Pritchard, writing in The Telegraph criticises the proposed Democrat Green Deal as being a dirigiste policy with an ulterior motive of ‘fuelling’ the trade war with China. He gives a very cogent explanation of the mechanics of carbon fee and dividend and why he prefers this market led method of carbon pricing. He also …

Virtual mass lobby – useful, but not the only chance

I have been a member of CCL for just over a year, having been persuaded by a talk by Prof. David Waltham that this was a group which had an effective and doable solution to climate change and a democratic and sensible way of achieving their goal.  I wasn’t really sure how much the mass …

The response to the Covid 19 Emergency is influencing the response to the Climate Emergency (and mostly in a good way).

Christina Figureres wrote in the Guardian of June 1st about how many international institutions and corporate leaders are learning the lesson of governmental responses to Covid 19 to call for ambitious green economic stimulus packages.

COP 25

COP 25 and a future for an international carbon market

Under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), most countries are treaty-bound to avoid “dangerous climate change”. Countries who signed and ratified the 2015 Paris Accord then had to produce nationally defined contributions (NDCs) to meet the decarbonisation targets. As the twenty-fifth annual UN Conference of the Parties (COP) begins in Madrid, …

Skylarks and Wind Turbines

Last Sunday I stood beneath an 80m tall wind turbine—its blade tips rushing past at 100 mph. It was a dramatic sight but the loudest sound I could hear was the singing of skylarks. This was quite striking as, a few days before, I’d been reading objections placed in 2015 against placing of a wind …
