🚨 We’ve just launched an inquiry looking at the path to decarbonising heat in homes. We want to hear your views. Find out more and submit evidence here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/365/… #MyBEISinquiry Climate Assembly UK #ClimateAssemblyUK
Oliver Wright in The Times and The Sunday Times reports that the UK Government is considering a carbon tax from Jan 2021 to replace the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. Something that Policy Exchange has called for: 1/3 thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/s…
It's a myth carbon taxes are necessarily regressive. Returning receipts to citizens in equal sums can make it progressive across income groups. Or we could use receipts to cut the most economically damaging taxes to boost growth and jobs. (US e.g. but see files.taxfoundation.org/20191105134952…)
Nor do carbon taxes have to make British industry less competitive. Earlier this year, Centre for Policy Studies published a paper on how to avoid this, using border adjustment mechanisms. cps.org.uk/files/reports/…
Carbon Taxes have worked everywhere they’ve been tried. Economists and scientists aren’t divided on this. It’s time for a carbon tax! | Exponents Magazine + Ben Ramanauskas exponentsmag.org/2019/09/11/its…
Yes I can see the irony in this Channel 4 Dispatches tweet but it is worth a watch. Only, however, if you plan to put what you learn into practice. Perhaps start by reducing the quality of the picture before you start streaming...
