What Scotland needs: a Green New Deal with its own currency

Posted on

The Guardian has reported that:

Nicola Sturgeon's government needs to show much greater urgency in tackling climate change, a cross-party committee of the Scottish parliament has said.

The environment committee said the Scottish government's goal of cutting emissions by 90% before 2050 failed to address the scale of the challenge. Instead, ministers should aim for a net zero target, where there are no additional emissions that affect the climate, MSPs said.

I have a suggestion. Why don't the SNP membership propose an amendment to the debate on the economy scheduled for April that substitutes the Green New Deal for the Growth Commission report, adding in Scotland's own currency from day 1 of independence?

I know it's none of my business, but it seems like some think some more radical action is required. That's the package that will deliver it.
