Norway got rich with petroleum products. Bunch of hypocrites.
What are you thinking makes them hypocrites? Doesn’t seem like doing something bad for the planet, then improving things is hypocritcal unless they start claiming they’ve always been perfect. At any rate, veats doubling down on petroleum like the US are currently doing.
They have not stopped exporting fossile fuels and to my knowledge at least they also don’t plan to do so in the near future.
“Got rich”
The profits are going in a fund that is kept for later on, it doesn’t affect people’s current finances. The only idiots here are all the countries that didn’t nationalize their natural resources to do the same.
Alberta’s oil reserve is massive compared to Norway, what they have to show for it is 18B while Norway has 1.75T saved.
“A FunD THaT iS KepT FoR LatEr On” aka they invest it in the stock market, making the climate crisis worst. And they are still profiting off oil exploitation.
Fuck norway
They vote against CEOs that aren’t working to prevent climate change. Not all stock market investments make the climate crisis worse.
Fuck your disinformation.
They own shares in Solvay (https://www.nbim.no/en/investments/all-investments/#/), who notoriously poisoned a whole italian village with Dioxine.

They own shares of Coca Cola, who paid for dead squad in latin america to attack unionists
They own shares of Pfizer, who corrupted the european commissions president during COVID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate.
They have shares in Airways, automobile industries, gas companies, petrochemicals, real estate,… Do you understand how capitalism work? The minute there will be a conflict between their financial interest and sustainability, they will pick the former.
Fuck norway
Jesus I didn’t know it was that bad

One have to be an idiot to imply the blind search for profit isn’t the ultimate cause of the climate crisis.
Fuck your greenwashing, idiot.
While I mostly agree with your argument, the personal attacks are both unecessary and against our site rules.
Maybe it should be against your site rules to simp for planet-destroying capitalists?
They didn’t get high on their own supply and got a massive national fund from it. A bit hypocritical but definitely nicely played. Better than most other countries who used that money for ego projects or imperialistic madness.
nah a lot of their stuff get subsidised by the EU too from what I’ve heard, I think the flip side of it is that they have long training and internship periods so almost everyone is in their 30s by the time they get anywhere. The irony is worrying about global warming when you live in a frozen hell.
Norway isn’t even an EU country though?
Wait so as an european living car free in a city I’m subsidizing the lifestyle of some rich fucks living in a fjord?
That’s it, i’m doing tax evasion.
As a rich fuck living in a fjord I thank you for your contribution
You’re welcome
