the Requirements that something must be done about global warming are pouring in ever denser. We should eat smaller quantities of meat, we should fly less, drive less, and we should stop economic growth.
The one aktivistgruppen after the other now by 87 ”influencers” in an article on the discussion page in Expressen – requires immediate action. The list of requirements from the klimataktivisterna can be long.
however, the activists often go into because it then becomes obvious which extreme consequences their requirements may be. Let us therefore examine how one can achieve that ”we” are flying off, to save the climate.
Here, there is really only three options to choose from.
: Radical tax increases on air travel and other CO2-producing travel. This would mean that fewer swedes are traveling. Those who suffer are, however, low-income people, whose cheap travel disappear.
Business travelers and others who can afford it will instead get more space on the pitch and in the airports. That trip will be a klassfråga like it was before in the world. From a fördelningspolitiskt perspective, therefore, this is hardly desirable and would have a very weak support among the people.
”resebok ‘ to be introduced, similar to the 1920’s passbook, which was introduced to reduce alcohol consumption. A government ”resemyndighet” are established, whose task is to distribute the trips to the Swedish people.
Every american will receive an annual koldioxidkvot travel (plane, train, bus, boat and car). The trip may sell their quota on an exchange. The business, whose ability to sell in export is largely based on sales tours abroad, may apply to resemyndigheten of increased CO2-quotas for their staff.
When C02 ratio is ”raised up” may Svensson, walk, cycle or ride electric. How blindly as it sounds, is probably this option that today’s klimataktivister see as most realistic.
This will, however, very strange behaviour to develop. People will travel to Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki and then buy a ticket there really should because this is beyond Sweden’s control.
In this way they can save their CO2 quota, or sell it. Those who live far from foreign airports will be hit harder than those who live border. The whole idea breaks against the EU’s mobility and diskrimineringsregler.
a : Politicians and public servants ends up flying. This is really the only feasible option which would also have positive skattebetalareffekter. Within these sectors, you can actually introduce a tough CO2 quota per municipality, county and state authority.
About 40 percent of the trips with SAS in Sweden and to Brussels paid for by the public sector. There are a few arguments why civil servants should travel with the vessels which give rise to large carbon emissions.
Because the result of their work is normally not possible to measure or evaluate, one can reasonably argue that the time is not as critical for this group as for the employees in the private sector. Should, therefore, be time-consuming but koldioxidminimerande alternatives to travel, such as trains, is preferred.
weigh heavily when these professionals are going to travel. You can participate in the World as kommuntjänsteman via Skype instead of flying, or go dieselbåt there. It is not as fun, but something you have to sacrifice at the CO2 altar.
the Value of our local politicians travel to China or the united states on ”study trips” is also negligible, which can directly be stopped. In parallel, we are introducing rules that will allow our EU parliamentarians, only get to ride a train in order to minimize the klimatavtrycket. The political establishment will, however, hardly to drive this only reasonable line.
How to choose the resistance against the reduced flying to be so compact that it will not be able to be implemented. Therefore, it would be nice to avoid having to read and hear from these gapiga klimataktivister until they have some intelligent proposals on how to reduce the Swedish people’s CO2 consumption.
