Norway, the UK and Canada are not climate champions. They are climate hypocrites, states the American news organisation.
Media organisation CNN has caused a stir in Norway by claiming the country is a climate hypocrite. In a long analysis piece, digital news producer Ivana Kottasová started off by praising Oslo’s green progress:
“The street lamps are powered by renewables. To conserve energy, the smart lights dim when nobody is around. Its public transportation system too is powered entirely by renewable energy. Two thirds of new cars sold the city are electric. There s even a highway for bees.”

Norway’s Climate Plan to Halve Emissions by 2030

The Norwegian government will make it far more expensive to emit CO₂ as it aims to halve emissions by 2030. Here s the proposed climate plan.
Norway plans to halve CO₂ emissions by 2030 on the way to becoming a zero-emission country by 2050. Today, Norway s prime minister Erna Solberg unveiled a plan to achieve that.
The major proposal is a substantial increase in the CO₂ tax. This will likely lead to higher ticket prices for domestic aviation, higher fuel costs, and increased costs for both private households and businesses.
