Swedes Vote Climate Policy Biggest Waste of Tax Payer Money in 2019

The Swedish public has voted that climate change spending has been the biggest waste of taxpayer money in 2019, according to a poll by the Swedish Taxpayers’ Association.

The Taxpayers’ Association released the results of their annual wasteful spending poll earlier this week, declaring that climate policy had been the biggest waste of money, largely due to the fact that despite the spending, emissions in Sweden had actually slightly increased.

In 2014, the Swedish national government spent 5.2 billion Swedish krona (£419 million/$547 million), a number that has more than doubled to 12.6 billion krona (£1 billion/$1.3 billion) for the planned 2020 budget.

“The government has more than doubled the appropriations for climate policy, but despite this, emissions no longer decrease. In 2018, emissions even increased. That is why climate policy has been voted the worst waste of the year,” Johan Gustafsson, Waste Ombudsman at the Taxpayers’ Association, said.

Enough of the world-wide climate change scam.

People all over the world now know for a fact it is a money-grubbing tax scam.

They are in real trouble now. They’re going to piss off Greta, and you don’t want to piss off Greta.

They spent more on Global Warming but their emissions went up. That tells me the goal was spending money, not lowering emissions.

Sweden with about 1/1000 of the world's population could not fix the climate even if they reduced their emissions to zero.

“They’re going to piss off Greta, and you don’t want to piss off Greta.”

Heh, she’ll give you the “fugly stare” which turns you into Hillary.

I would guess the default position of pretty much any Scandinavian would be in favor of global warming. Ditto Siberians and Alaskans. But in any case it’s nice to see even people as marinated in socialism as the Swedes can see through the bull.

Quick! Find another teenage girl who doesn’t want to go to school! Get her to accept free passage in a boat. Get her to look angry at Trump! Get her to yell and scream “how dare you!” Maybe that’ll convince the folks.

Even the Swedes. So where does the money go? In the case of Sweden, it’s going to fund their own invasion of barbarians.
