This is even more depressing than the rest of climate fuck-up trends :(
one of the annoying things about the climate targets that i think should have been done better is that they’re sort of static year over year, which means they get harder and harder to attain. sweden, which is largely fossil-free energy wise, has to work a lot harder per unit to reduce emissions x amount than, say, the uk, or poland. the easy stuff is all done already.
the curve naturally flattens out close to the top, since going from 99 to 99.9 is possibly even harder than going from 90 to 99.
still not a reason to go backwards, but that’s what happens when you merge the posts for minister for climate and trade, and put a christofascist there.
Where was Greta from?
The current government in Sweden hates her. When she was abducted by Israel on board of a humanitarian aid ship in international waters, the government replied to the question of consulate services for their citizen along the lines of “well she looks to be fine, no need for us to support her.”
The average Swede emits less CO2 than the average Thai. If Sweden wants to halt reforms while waiting for the USA, China, and the rest of the world to catch up that seems fine to me.
