Parachuting off the Energy Cliff:
How do we enable Holyrood Support for Community Resilience?
-
We are postponing our next major Holyrood 350 event until the second half of May once the final round of CCF grans have been announced and the UK general election has happened. This event will focus on the energy cliff, economic livelihoods, and how to enable MSPs to build on the success of the CCF and climate change targets.
We want to collectively, realistically and imaginatively arrive at a clear picture of how communities and their politicians can work together to ensure that the kinds of communities CCF Mark 1 has had less success in reaching can be supported in moving towards resilience, and how we can effectively and strategically build on what communities have been working so hard to achieve. More soon.

A Range of Responses to Copenhagen here
The Story of Cap and Trade
Although they sound similar, Cap and Trade is entirely different to Cap and Share:
CAP and SHARE (see right hand column) is a system which can be used to CAP (to limit and dramatically reduce the carbon coming into the country in line with the science), and to SHARE (to distribute the revenue raised to ensure people have the money to cope with the increased price in all goods and services which have carbon content).
In contrast, CAP and TRADE (the EU response to climate change, and the approach being proposed at Copenhagen) simply enables business as usual (soaring emissions, soaring fuel prices and soaring profits for the heavy emitters) to continue.
