Sweden’s new right-wing government has sparked an outcry after scrapping the Ministry of Environment in a move the opposition has branded “devastating”.
Previously, the ministry was a high-profile stand-alone department with a minister in the cabinet, but now it will operate as part of another ministry instead.
Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson unveiled his new cabinet on Tuesday, and although he did appoint a Minister of Climate and Environment — 26-year-old Liberal MP Romina Pourmokhtari — she will work under Christian Democrat leader Ebba Busch, the new Minister for Energy, Business and Industry, rather than lead her own ministry.
The leader of the Swedish Greens, Per Bolund, noted that for the first time in 35 years Sweden would have no dedicated environment ministry. […]
Before the first dedicated environment ministry was established in 1987, the Ministry of Agriculture and then the combined Ministry of Environment and Energy dealt with those policy matters.

What does Greta have to say?
Greta is not amused.
“Right wing”
Really?
With Bono and Susan Sarandon seeing the light, and now this, it seems like end-times.

Pourmokhtari: origin Iran. He father is refugee, she was born in Sweden.
Where’s glowering Greta on all this? Is she going to give her prime minister the evil eye?
Thanks Pooty. Your gaz shutoff is getting us some good results. It is bringing, egotistical, CO2 inflated nations back to earth. The cold weather n winter has a way of bringing people back to reality. In this case, back to hydrocarbon reality.
Pär Holmgren, a Swedish Green Party MEP, said, “expect huge cuts in green funding leading to a devastating impact on climate policies that we, the Greens, worked so hard to put in place.”
Isabella Lövin, chairperson of the board at the Stockholm Environmental Institute and herself a former minister of environment, said that green issues in Sweden had been “set back 35 years”.

Wahhhhaaaaahhhh! Get them an WA-ambulance
yup
I genuinely wonder how many people are going to starve in the cold and dark this winter in Europe.
One might say, well, they voted for it. But of course not all of them did.
Rats! Had my hopes up for a minute there that they’d gotten rid of it completely. No, they just downgraded it a bit & put it in another gov’t agency. Conservatives never seem to be able to do the CORRECT thing when they have the chance.
She does so remind me of Rhoda Penmark...
Greta reminds me of the movie “Misery” for some reason.
