The CCC public meeting on 7 November was packed out and the speakers were excellent. George Monbiot devoted a lot of time to a rallying call to carbon rationing, and yes, used the phrase ‘rationing’! He said it was the only politically viable way and the simplest way.
See his speech on youtube at this link.
Also of particular interest to CRAGgers is that he said we should be thinking ‘big is beautiful’, ie, in terms of large-scale non-fossil electricty generation, not micro-generation. So his message seemed to add up to: cap + carbon rationing + big technological projects.
