Sweden Nonplussed by Climate Alarmism
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a story about Sweden, which appears nonplussed by "climate change".
Or perhaps Swedes are less concerned as they live in a cold country and a little warmth is preferable to what they have now. Oh, and I would add the Swedes seem to not get exercised by much; they are being swallowed up by the Islamic "refugees" who regularly rape young girls there and have no-go zones and the native Swedes don't seem much alarmed by the dying of their own culture.Or perhaps many of them realize it's just a farce but say they believe it because, well, it's what you're supposed to say.

In a new survey, Sweden stands out as the country where the least share in the population is worried that climate change will hit them personally. Swedes also distinguish themselves in the belief that a climate change is essentially favorable to the economy.
While 2021 has been marked by extreme weather with heatwaves, forest fires and flooding, signals that Swedes are worried less about the climate.
According to a new international survey from the think tank Pew Research Center, Sweden is the country where people know the least climate control for their own part. Only 15 percent of Swedes are very concerned that climate change will at some point affect them personally - to compare with, for example, 57 percent of Greeks, 46 per cent of Spain and 42 per cent Italians. Almost twice as many Americans as Swedes are very concerned.
The result is in line with other current surveys from, among other things, the Nature Conservation Agency, the European Parliament, Ipsos / MORI and the Reuters Institute. In Naturvårdsverket's report ′′ The public about the climate 2021 ′′ fewer Swedes say have a bad conscience for the climate compared to 2018 and 2015.
Does this mean that Swedes climate involvement has gone down?
Maybe it is rather the outside world's climate involvement that has come to an end. Sverker Jagers believes that, professor of political science with a focus on environmental policy.
- The general pattern is that Sweden usually stands quite high in surveys about climate engagement. When a serious concern over the climate rises in other parts of the world, other countries approach Sweden, says Sverker Jagers.
Mikael Klintman is a professor of sociology and author of the book ′′ Knowledge resistance ", which deals with people's attitude towards uncomfortable facts. He points out that Sweden has been less bad from extreme weather than many other countries.
- When an apocalyptic mood arises near where people live, it usually rattles in surveys around climate control, says Mikael Klintman.
Changed patterns of behavior during the pandemic may also explain why some surveys give a low rash on climate change. According to the Naturvårdsverket's report, more Swedes see themselves as climate engaging today compared to 2018.
- More of us feel that we have become more good at reducing climate load. This feeling has probably grown stronger during the pandemic, as it wasn't possible to fly. Maybe you feel less climate shame, and think you have personally already done what you can, says Mikael Klintman.
Comparing an elusive feeling like climate control between different countries is also not easy, says Sverker Jagers. He says that you really need to put opinion in relation to the actual policy being conducted:
- Few countries have as ambitious climate law as Sweden. Whether there is a strong or weak opinion for climate issues, Sweden is great opportunities to implement climate policy without people putting yellow vests on and taking to the streets.
According to 2019 and 2020 SOM surveys from Gothenburg University, one of 20 Swedes - six percent - is climate deniers. 75 percent of the population stands behind the claim that climate change is caused by man. Neither Mikael Klintman nor Sverker Jagers believe that an increased disbelief in climate science would be behind the surveys with a low impact on climate control.
- I think it is completely different mechanisms that create climate denial than lack of concern. Climate denial is rather about worrying about society changing. At all, I think climate denial is coming down, says Sverker Jagers.
Another reason why some Swedes feel low concern about the climate may be about the view of climate change, Mikael Klintman believes. According to the Naturvårdsverket's report, 7 out of 10 Swedes believe that they would have an unchanged or better quality of life in a future, climate-adjusted society with significantly reduced emissions.
- Among other things, the US still sees a contradiction between reduced climate impact and a strong business with many jobs. In Sweden, we believe that climate work and employment can go hand in hand and lead to improved quality of life, says Mikael Klint-man.
It is also confirmed in the survey from Pew Rearch Center, where Sweden excels as the country where the biggest share of the respondents-51 percent - believe that a climate change will be favorable to the economy.

Background. Pew Research Center survey
The survey has been conducted in total 16 countries with advanced economies in the spring, that is, before this year's summer with forest fires, droughts, floods and hurricanes. 16 people have responded.
80 percent say they are willing to change how they live and work to help reduce the effects of climate change.
People with political affiliation on the left are more willing to change their lifestyle than those with political belonging to the right. Women are more concerned than men.
A median share of 72 percent in all the surveyed countries is concerned that climate change will affect them personally in their lifetime. In Sweden, the figure is 44 percent. The percentage that says to be very concerned ranges from 15 percent in Sweden to 57 percent in Greece.

Sweden stands out - the concern for the climate is low, new report shows
What to think about it, probably that Swedes are always happy with what the government is doing, my comment,
Or...?
