Scottish Climate Assembly - Ministers Q and A

In 2021 a Scottish Citizens Assembly was convened to consider climate change and the journey to net zero.   Work took place remotely over 7 weekends.  You can see all evidence sessions and the plenary discussions on the website https://climateassembly.scot
A report with recommendations was presented to the Scottish Government, who gave a written response, both of which are available on the website.
Following the Government's response, the Climate Assembly met for a final weekend 8 to consider the government's response.   As part of that weekend, a Ministerial Q and A was held with Patrick Harvie MSP and Richard Lochhead MSP where representatives of the Climate Assembly pose a series of challenging and robust questions to the Ministers.
You can watch the full video on the climate assembly website.  

SCOTONOMICS Ep Thirteen. Big Oil - Delay and Denial

The role of particular scientists in opposing policies to slow and halt global warming has been extensively documented. The role of economists, however, has received less attention. Until now. We are joined by Ben Franta as part of our Road To Cop 26 series to talk about big oil and the role the industry played (supported by Economists) to deny the impact of fossil fuels in warming the planet and to delay climate action. This is a fascinating discussion that covers some very Scotland specific issues. Our old friend Sir Ian Wood gets a mention or two. Read Ben's latest paper here: Weaponizing economics: Big Oil, economic consultants, and climate policy delay https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/...

Getting Rid of Scotland’s Nuclear Weapons

On the first anniversary of the TPNW  we ask  Scottish CND how we will rid Scotland of Trident.
All the British nuclear weapons are in Scotland at Faslane Naval Base just 30 miles from Glasgow. 
By renewing and increasing the number of weapons on the Clyde, the Westminster administration is breaking international law.  In this first episode of our new monthly series "the Indy Jigsaw Show", hosts Marlene Halliday and Fiona McGregor consider what can be done to rid Scotland of this obscenity with guests Isobel Lindsay, Bill Ramsay and David Cairns from Scottish CND.
