Gårsdagens kjennelse fra Høyesterett var et knusende tap for staten som ikke bare har tapt den konkrete saken, men også mistet ett av sine favorittargumenter. La oss ta en titt!🧵

Dersom statsråden henviser til at "bare 1.7 prosent av landet vårt er bebygd" så er det forsåvidt riktig, men samtidig misvisende i denne sammenhengen. Arealtap er nemlig den største trusselen mot norsk natur. Hvordan dette henger sammen forklarer jeg her:

The singly most important individual action we can all take to halt the climate and nature crises is simply to do *less*. To consume, waste, travel less. I’ve already started, but can do more, and am up for this #NewYearsResolution / #AntiBucketlist for 2025
What can we do that actually matters?
If you find yourself mired in a system that’s sucking you ever forward toward mass extinction, a good first step would be to comprehensively and entirely opt out of that system.

Myndighetene har ikke forankret det norske skogvernet i realitetene. Selv tilbake i 2019, da jeg skrev “I skogens dype, stille ro”, var det klart at vi må restaurere svært mye skog for å nå vernemålet på 10 %. Den norske skogen er hogd i fillebiter.
