Sweden Passes Bill To Become Carbon Neutral By 2045 (newscientist.com)
Sweden is the first country to significantly upgrade its carbon ambitions since the Paris accord in 2015. The country has passed a new bill committing to cut its net carbon emissions to zero by 2045. New Scientist reports: The law was drawn up by a cross-party committee and passed with an overwhelming majority in parliament by 254 votes to 41. The legislation establishes an independent Climate Policy Council and requires an action plan to be updated every four years. Sweden had previously committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. It already gets 83 per cent of its electricity from nuclear energy and hydropower, having met its 2020 target of 50 per cent renewable energy eight years ahead of schedule. To achieve carbon-neutral status, the country will focus on reducing emissions from transport by increasing the use of biofuels and electric vehicles. It plans to cut domestic emissions by at least 85 per cent, and offset remaining emissions by planting trees or investing in projects abroad.
Actually, a great deal of that coal was sold to other nations, who actually have an industrial base. These nations are where all the products that you so enjoy are manufactured, with minimal environmental standards and abhorrent labor laws. But, this is all done out of sight, so that makes it ok in your book.
Why? because unlike the people who lost their jobs, you are truly stupid because you clearly don't understand this.
"Liberalism is a very noble idea, currently controlled by some very bad people. Be sure you do not get the two confused.
Just like Obama, smoke and mirrors and empty promises for the empty heads. Obama did nothing for the environment except talk about it and sign non-binding treaties.
By 2045, Sweden will be in civil war or may not even exist anymore. Every leftard country ends up as a complete failure.
However, I look forward to the muslims "taking care" of the liberals there, lol.
Pretty much what I was thinking. There won't even be a Sweden by 2045. At least not one that's recognizable. Seems like they've got way worse problems than carbon pollution.
The soylentnews experiment has been a dismal failure.
...they are going to make hundreds of thousands of giant hamster wheels and fill them with Muslims.
I love stacking my barbecues in the shed at the end of summer - you can't beat a bit of grill on grill action.
Now to take legislative measures against problems that actually matter....like the globalist-architected invasion and the rape of the Swedish people
