Of course. I understand that point, but I just needed to make this point because it's often overlooked or deliberately not mentioned to work as rage bait.
This almost certainly means you'll get the choice to inconvenience yourself by performing a deliberately long procedure to disable the feature every single time you turn the ignition on, otherwise it'll turn itself back on again by default.
Yeah, the emissions have nothing to do with the faltering economy. Over 30 years of inaction in creating modern (including digital infrastructure) by conservative politicians a lot more so. Germany is a museum of the 90s.
Because Swedish is hard to learn and internet trolls are less likely to learn it for a small population. This removes much of the chaff that English language news receives from many different sources, resulting in much more honest news.
This means that ten or twenty years ago the Swedes were given accurate climate information and trusted the people who said it was a danger. They actioned on it by pivoting into new energy technologies like recycling and reuse.
The lack of oil industry lobbying helped preserve the trust in government and so government was trust to make the right decisions for public policy with regard to that climate information.
Swedish news media is also held to a higher standard than English language publications. All major English speaking countries having a "garbage paper" that spouts bottom feeder ideas and they are conveniently owned by one company that coordinates the fronts of the culture war.
I don't read French, but from Google translate, the Chinese narrative is roughly as follows: Ling Huazhan approached the embassy claiming that he had been taken in by Falun Gong and burned his passport as a protest, but had changed his mind, and was now out of money and in need of help. The embassy put him in contact with a charity that provided him with room and board, while contacting his family in China, who purchased a plane ticket for his return. Due to the delicacy of the situation and his history of mental health issues, he was accompanied to the airport, at which point he abruptly changed attitude and claimed to be being abducted, in order to create a diplomatic incident.
I'm not claiming that that narrative is true, but just describing their response.
Have to watch this later because of the surprising title. The current governemnt declared they would abandon some climate goals and hope that this strategy would help long term climate goals in the future, as by magic or something.
They are looking at the time since 1990. So a lot of these are decisions made by previous governments, which just take time to go to actual infrastructure. As an example, when you want to turn your district heating system green, the government first has to pass the laws to push the company owning it to do that(regardless of state owned or private). Then the actual engineering begins of what to built instead, then it gets built and only then you are actually saving emissions. Obviously that process takes years from the first law to the actual say large heat pump being built. However when you have the company already in the process of building the heat pump, even a change in government and sometimes even a change in law, does not mean they shut down the project. At this point it is fairly likely that sunk cost just drives it forward.
That is to say the current Swedish governments actions will start to be felt about now and really start to cause problems maybe around 2026 or so.
The UK has already paid £270 million, with the latest £50 million instalment handed over in April. Nobody was deported, although two failed asylum seekers went to Rwanda voluntarily under a separate agreement that saw them offered a £3,000 incentive to go.
Just imagine what useful stuff could have been done with that money.
