My Favorite Ways to Green

I think one of the really important things for us to realize in our fight to protect the environment is that it’s got to be personal. Like the ‘personal calling’ those with religious fervor feel, the personal conviction a good steward of the environment feels is the cornerstone of an authentic and unflagging purpose. And the reality of climate change is backed up by scientific evidence. So, the conscientious among us are the way we are because of the facts, and because we get a level of enjoymen

Vad är det med SVTs oförmåga att få till en riktig politisk debatt om klimatet i sina partiledardebatter?

Jag såg partiledardebatten i SVT i söndags kväll och den var tyvärr lika bedrövlig som jag anade att den skulle bli. SVT tar upp alldeles för många ämnen på en så pass kort tid att det inte blir någon riktig debatt om någonting. Partiledarna har bara tid att slänga ut några käcka one-liners innan deras tid är över och det är dags för ett nytt ämne. Det känns lite som att SVT behandlar partiledardebatterna som om de vore som vilket annat sportevenemang som helst. Det ska vara för- och eftersnack

Igår gjorde advokaten och KD-profilen Peter Althin allvar av sitt hot om att lämna Kristdemokraterna ifall Ebba Busch Thor blev vald som ny partiledare. I en debattartikel i Svenska Dagbladet förklarar Althin varför han lämnar Kristdemokraterna – ett parti som han numera känner sig sviken och bedragen av.
