Massvarsel efter ”prisdumpade” avtalet • Anställd: ”Det här är inte möjligt, man kan inte jobba så här.”

Europe’s methane regulation sets a high benchmark for stamping out emissions across energy products and supply chains. The pushback from some suppliers and governments only confirms its impact. Holding firm is the precondition for any meaningful international cooperation. (6/6)

LMDC proposal 2:
They also want to discuss "unilateral trade-restrictive measures" – such as EU's CBAM – which they say "increase cost of worldwide climate action" & "hinder" developing-country efforts. This has been around a while, but has never yet made it onto agenda.

Här är programmet för Timbro-konferensen i Tallin som statsministern prioriterade före FN:s klimatmöte. Jacke, Dousa, Lifvendahl, Hökmark, Norberg. Typ samma människor som regelbundet äter middagar och byter jobb med varandra hemma i Stockholm. Kunde inte klimatkrisen fått gå före en enda helg?

Regeringskansliet sinkade DNs granskning om Landerholm. Tog flera veckor att få ut handlingar, som gavs till fiktiv privatperson på några dagar. ”Knappast förenlig med svensk grundlag”, skriver DNs chefredaktör Peter Wolodarski.
