[Committee] Carbon Taxation Working Group

[Steve Stretton]

Dear Alex, Emmanuel, Evan, Gunnar, Josh, Jason, Kirril, Adam, Adrian, and
others,
 
I'm writing to ask if anyone might be interested in organising some
information on carbon taxation - a working group on the subject. The task
would to produce (or find) a very quick half-page précis online of the main
ideas, with online links to useful information . Concrete specific policy
suggestions could also be put forward. 
 
This brief summary could be presented to the Campaign against Climate Change
AGM in Sheffield (to which I will be attending, with Adam, a friend from
Oxford), and potentially to our local MP, David Howarth, Lib Dem spokesman
on Energy and member of the Environmental Audit select committee.
 
Please let me know if you might be interested.
 
The information would be initially placed on the Camtools wiki.
https://camtools.caret.cam.ac.uk/portal/site/3eee4372-bf50-478a-0079-ed58141
3d528/page/bd7b93f4-ab47-42a1-002b-a19d2bfe2c15?null
This is available to all those in Cambridge and to others by invitation. It
won't be difficult to migrate this to the Wikipedia platform in for the
start of next year. Please let me know if you find it impossibly difficult
to use the Camtools wiki: if so we may be able to migrate to Wikipedia
platform http://www.zerocarbonnow.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
earlier.
 
Best wishes,
Steve Stretton
Chairman, Cambridge Zero Carbon Society.
 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is some information on the Camtools (old) Wiki, which I think we should
continue to update with administrative information to avoid excessive
emails!

We may want to continue using the Camtools wiki, for the time being since
it's good for editing administrative information in a controlled
environment. Our Camtools Wiki can contain all the information about our
future events in a form accessible from our website and copy/pasteable into
our emails.

To add information to the wiki.

First click the editable version of the wiki on our website. Then you need
to login using Raven and your usual id. You should get into the main
Camtools page. There are a number of options (discussion etc). The Wiki can
be edited by clicking 'edit'.

The mark-up language is as follows:

[link] for internal links

H1 header for large header etc.

~~italic~~ for italic text

__bold__ for bold text.

To add an additional page, first edit the main page and add [New link]. Then
save the page. Finally click 'New Link': this will bring up a new page to
edit.

Before leaving a new page, please ensure that it is fully editable and
viewable by clicking 'info' and ensuring that all of the tick boxes are
selected.

-------------------

I'm a bit unsure why you are having problems: you can email
Camtools at caret.cam.ac.uk with problems, and they would be happy to help.

Best wishes,

Steve
