“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 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.

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.

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.
