Sweden.. has an ooops moment..

How Swede it is

While Greta Thunberg was floating around the planet winning prizes and being stupid, Sweden’s carbon dioxide emissions were increasing. Swedes aren’t happy about it:

The Swedish public has voted that climate change spending has been the biggest waste of taxpayer money in 2019, according to a poll by the Swedish Taxpayers’ Association.

The Taxpayers’ Association released the results of their annual wasteful spending poll earlier this week, declaring that climate policy had been the biggest waste of money, largely due to the fact that despite the spending, emissions in Sweden had actually slightly increased.

According to the linked piece, the Swedish government spent $A790 million on climate holiness measures in 2014. This year the Swedes are scheduled to blow through nearly $A1.9 billion.



sooooo chucking money at it really doesnt work..... Smiley Smiley

Hi Cods,
Imagine having to control her temper tantrums if you were her mother?

It just makes me shake my head how triggered the Right are about Greta Thunberg that they need to make personal attacks on a school girl.
But personal attacks on people they don't agree with is the MO of the Right.

Hasn't the Murdoch media been outed for having a dishonest campaign of climate change denial and misinformation?  Wink

Odd that you should choose the term ‘ruined’ given the real ruin her generation faces means most wont make it into their forties.
I’m wasting my time confronting you with the truth given the planet will soon shove your face in it.
My main question about such staggering ignorance is why science is being side-lined by so many on the lunatic right.

Link?

It is the the reality that people live longer due to cheap reliable electricity. It enabled study, research and many innovations.

The funny thing is that the neanderthals lived a simpler lifestyle, but only lived to about their thirties.

So you disagree with the IPCC? How novel.

"Floods

"There was low confidence due to limited evidence, however, that anthropogenic climate change has affected the frequency and magnitude of floods. WGII AR5 also concluded that there is no evidence that surface water and groundwater drought frequency has changed over the last few decades, although impacts of drought have increased mostly owing to increased water demand (Jiménez Cisneros et al., 2014)"

Drought

"The IPCC AR5 assessed that there was low confidence in the sign of drought trends since 1950 at the global scale, but that there was high confidence in observed trends in some regions of the world, including drought increases in the Mediterranean and West Africa and drought decreases in central North America and northwest Australia (Hartmann et al., 2013; Stocker et al., 2013). AR5 assessed that there was low confidence in the attribution of global changes in droughts and did not provide assessments for the attribution of regional changes in droughts (Bindoff et al., 2013a).

The recent literature does not suggest that the SREX and AR5 assessment of drought trends should be revised, except in the Mediterranean region. "

Cyclones

"Numerous studies leading up to and after AR5 have reported a decreasing trend in the global number of tropical cyclones and/or the globally accumulated cyclonic energy (Emanuel, 2005; Elsner et al., 2008; Knutson et al., 2010; Holland and Bruyère, 2014; Klotzbach and Landsea, 2015; Walsh et al., 2016). A theoretical physical basis for such a decrease to occur under global warming was recently provided by Kang and Elsner (2015). However, using a relatively short (20 year) and relatively homogeneous remotely sensed record, Klotzbach (2006) reported no significant trends in global cyclonic activity, consistent with more recent findings of Holland and Bruyère (2014). Such contradictions, in combination with the fact that the almost fourdecade-long period of remotely sensed observations remains relatively short to distinguish anthropogenically induced trends from decadal and multi-decadal variability, implies that there is only low confidencev regarding changes in global tropical cyclone numbers under global warming over the last four decades."

Precipitation

"Observed global changes in the water cycle, including precipitation, are more uncertain than observed changes in temperature (Hartmann et al., 2013; Stocker et al., 2013). There is high confidence that mean precipitation over the mid-latitude land areas of the Northern Hemisphere has increased since 1951 (Hartmann et al., 2013). For other latitudinal zones, area-averaged long-term positive or negative trends have low confidence because of poor data quality, incomplete data or disagreement amongst available estimates (Hartmann et al., 2013). There is, in particular, low confidence regarding observed trends in precipitation in monsoon regions, according to the SREX report (Seneviratne et al., 2012) and AR5 (Hartmann et al., 2013), as well as more recent publications (Singh et al., 2014; Taylor et al., 2017; Bichet and Diedhiou, 2018; see Supplementary Material 3.SM.2)."

But perhaps you can link to the scientific papers that say otherwise.

But spending all of a nations treasure on 'averting climate change' does/or will, substantially weaken the economies of 1st world nations.
[....and economic strength, is the principal measure of real political power of any nation, today.]
[....as a counter-example, look at a nation like Venezuela,    ...a nation which is in a 'state' of total socio-political 'melt-down' as this is posted.]

Which is exactly what the political LEFTISTS and Marxists within     Extinction Rebellion     are seeking to accomplish.



Extinction Rebellion = = a political activist group, founded by hard core political LEFTISTS and Marxists - whose principal objective, is to foment violent political revolution within all wealthy, 1st world nations.

They're classified as 'terrorists' now in the UK, Yadda   Grin

shoulda seen it

a climate change activist in a faded spiderman suit or something, liberally daubed with whatever paint he could get its hands on.  Complete with a similarly modified face mask topped with what looked like a fake orange mohawk larper's wig

Two boys in blue had him by the arms which he had to keep flexed in the bent arm position to avoid being dragged along the pavement .. instead of walking like any self respecting human.  And with his knees bent to prevent his feet touching the ground

looked a proper fool

being carted off and charged with terrorism


like all the other Soros and Co funded idiocy, the climate activists will fade like all the other fake 'causes'

now there are ads online, seeking false flag actors to get to Virginia US to protest guns


This is what we get as a side effect of university degrees for sale

and free trade which creates people into their forties and fifties who've never worked


as for Thunberg …. must be a weighty psychic burden, all those millions just itching to slap her stupid face

!!!!!!








it certainly could be the case tadda.... and dont forget  they make all the demands and stir people up when the Libs are in power... so when the govt does make changes  and follow their demands   they scream like mad when it all goes pear shaped......even though its what they insisted upon...

like CARBON TAX......as Sweden is now finding out   a complete waste of time money and effort....it changes NOTHING>

all it does is stop money going where it is most needed........all because a few people  scientist   claim what they say is fact.......

yet have no explanation as to why the planet has always had CLIMATE CHANGE>for billions of years.
