Yes I can see the irony in this @C4Dispatches 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...

Sweden’s carbon tax provides us 2 lessons:
1. A well-designed carbon tax should cover a broad base of goods.
2. protecting international competitiveness of domestic industries is best addressed by a border adjustment.

Importantly, border adjustment can nudge other countries to up their game on climate action. Do any governments want their exporters paying money to foreign treasuries they could otherwise have? No - so they'll adopt a carbon tax of their own, or clean up their economy, or both.

Nor do carbon taxes have to make British industry less competitive. Earlier this year, @CPSThinkTank published a paper on how to avoid this, using border adjustment mechanisms. cps.org.uk/files/reports/ori…

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/2019…)

@oliver_wright in @thetimes 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:

Carbon Taxes have worked everywhere they’ve been tried. Economists and scientists aren’t divided on this. It’s time for a carbon tax! | @ExponentsMag + @BenRamanauskas exponentsmag.org/2019/09/11/…

James Hansen, the father of climate awareness, advocates #ClimateIncome.
“Every country says, ‘We'll try to do better.’ That won't work. What we need is to have an increasing price on the fossil fuels and do it in a way that the public will accept,” says former NASA scientist James Hansen about how to stop global warming. cbsn.ws/2F6be4M

Yesterday, the campaign for a pilot to be established in Wales took a giant leap forward with our Parliament agreeing we should trial #UBI.
Today, we all must decide on the who, what, when and where.
Tomorrow, will be #OurGenerationsNHS

London’s parents want their children to walk or cycle to school.
We are already ahead of the rest of the UK in making this easier, funding 430 new School Streets - temporary walking and cycling zones outside schools - improving air quality and enabling better social distancing.
