Sammallahti wrote that Greta Thunberg had said in France that young people were rising in rebellion because the system, in her view, was in conflict with human rights and humanity. Sammallahti interpreted that based on Thunberg's previous speeches, she meant Western market economy and democracy. Sammallahti suggested that the University of Helsinki could study the mass psychosis he described that has spread in the West. He claimed it had raised Thunberg to a cult-like status and said that the media, the academic world, and the left had tried to pressure even whole nation-states to yield to her will. He described Thunberg as far-left and accused her of deceit. https://t.co/6fSmoZpzW1 #ilmastonmuutos #nuorisokapina #demokratia (translated)

A-J Hirsimäki wrote that he wasn't surprised that the Finns Party didn't consider the National Coalition's package to be good. He described it as completely miserable and useless. Hirsimäki referred to a news item stating that Minister of Climate and Environment Sari Multala (National Coalition) had confirmed "joyful news" in Parliament before the National Coalition's group meeting. He reacted to the news mockingly and said he had laughed about it even twenty minutes after reading it. #Politiikka #Suomi #Ilmastonmuutos (translated)

Veli Karimies wrote that the Finns Party pushed for a reduction of the distribution obligation for ideological reasons, naming the ideology as the interest of Finns. According to him, the distribution obligation had nothing to do with climate change, and he regarded any contrary claim as completely absurd and anti-scientific. https://t.co/LjZrnFoLfs #Perussuomalaiset #ilmastonmuutos #ideologia (translated)

Joakim Vigelius asked Pia Kauma and Miko Bergbom if they were serious. He wrote that the distribution obligation had also been lowered in other countries and that it had curbed high prices. In addition, Vigelius asked who did not believe in climate change and where such claims came from. #ilmastonmuutos #hintojenhallinta #jakeluvelvoite (translated)

Miko Bergbom wrote that he supports lowering the distribution obligation because, in his opinion, its impact on the pump price of fuel is undeniable. He estimated that the reduction would cost the state nothing, but would strengthen public finances through an increase in fuel tax revenue. Bergbom stated that neither he nor the Finns Party as a whole had questioned climate change and accused his discussion partner of inventing new claims as the previous ones, according to him, had lost their basis in reality. #ilmastonmuutos #politiikka #talous (translated)

Juho Hirvelä wrote in a Yle news article that 145 data centers were planned in Finland and that four of them would use more electricity than 2.2 million Finns. He compared this to the decline of domestic meat production, which he claimed was justified by saving the climate, and described the situation as hypocrisy. https://t.co/6vikQsLpvR #datakeskukset #ilmastonmuutos #Suomi (translated)

Sture Fjäder wrote that the red-green coalition in Helsinki had passed a decision stating that the city would no longer accept advertising related to fossil fuels, such as advertising for flying. He questioned whether those who supported the decision would themselves give up flying on their travels, and assessed that they would not do so. Fjäder described the action as green posturing. #viherposeeraus https://t.co/qbovaaryzX #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #kestäväkehitys (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

Juho Salo wrote that with the same amount of money, it would have been possible to get 10–15 granite pyramids for Finland, at least five nuclear power plants, or seven biogas plants refining biodiesel from peat. He suggested that development aid be converted into a voluntary tax or banned by law. #kehitysapu #kestävyys #ilmastonmuutos (translated)

Maria Nordin wrote that, according to her, there were more extreme phenomena in Finland’s climate than in the stable climate of equatorial regions, regardless of climate change. She asked whether the logic of Plan would mean that there would be a greater risk of child marriages in Finland, and wondered if the phenomenon may not even be related to the climate. https://t.co/KRhCq52c0o #ilmasto #ilmastonmuutos #äyriilmiöt (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that wind power produced nearly as much electricity last night as was consumed in all of Finland, which she claimed drove the price of electricity down. She noted that some wind farms approved for the feed-in tariff before 2017 were still receiving support, which had a target price of €83.50/MWh. Rautanen pointed out that while the abundant electricity production lowered prices, support was still being paid from state funds, and she argued that consumers were paying for it. #tuulivoima #sähkö #ilmastonmuutos (translated)

Sveitsissä on kehitetty uusi biohajoava lampaanvillapeite, joka auttaa hidastamaan jäätiköiden sulamista tehokkaammin kuin perinteiset synteettiset suojapeitteet, mutta asiantuntijat varoittavat, että tämä ei ratkaise laajempaa ilmastonmuutokseen liittyvää ongelmaa. #ilmastonmuutos #jäätiköt #kestäväkehitys
