She told Swedish media that she will not be appealing the verdict.

    her punishment was a 2500 SEK fine? They’ve just told the entire country that we can pay the equivalent of a new bicycle to block oil tankers, this is amazing.

      Where the hell do you get a new bicycle for 2500 SEK? I paid 2 or 3 times that for a midrange bike (in Estonia, admittedly). 2500 SEK is good used bike territory.

          Eh maybe if you only want to cycle slowly around town, sure. For me, a bicycle is more for exercise than transportation.

          It’s kinda the same as saying 8k EUR gets you a new car. I mean yeah, it’s technically true, it gets you a Dacia Sandero, but most people will still go for something they can actually enjoy.

      I don’t think you read your article. And Steve Forbes himself doesn’t seem to have basic logic capabilities.

      2023 was the supposed deadline for stopping the usage of fossil fuels, not the exact time humanity will be wiped out. Did you think this was going to happen in as little as one year?

      It will take decades. But with every year we keep using fossil fuels, we’re ensuring that it’ll be worse.

        The way the climate alarmist make it sound it will. Or maybe there is other factors in play but you can’t waste a good way to scare the populous into fear.

        Not like we havent have had climate change before industrialization… Those glaciers melted just out of fun, hell we were told the late 70’s it was a “micro ice age”. Been around the block, this is a ploy for control. If these elites really cared about it they would scrape their G5’s jets… Never gonna happen.

        Plastic pollution in the sea, yeah thats on us. R22 eating the ozone, yeah again us. But CO2 is a natural compound, some man made, mostly naturally made. So I’m keeping w/ the status quo.

          The little ice age was not an actual ice age, and it was a tiny blip on the global average temperature charts compared to where we’re headed right now. Have you seen any of those charts? I have no idea how you could still claim “this is normal and has happened before” after you’ve seen them.

          If you think this is a ploy for control, please tell me, who do you think is attempting to control who here? Because the people usually accused of that kind of thing (governments and billionaires) are the ones doing frustratingly little to admit and tackle the problem, and they are the only ones who actually could produce meaningful change.
