Climate Customs, Marx and free passengers

Gunnar S. Eskeland: If Norway were to be the country in Europe that rejects climate tariffs, many would get a good laugh, for example the USA, China and Brazil - and Groucho Marx.

The ambivalence, and the trench wars between parties and ministries, fit well with the great free passenger problem of our time, climate change: Everyone wants the climate problem to be solved, but would rather be outside the club that makes the effort, Gunnar S. Eskeland writes.

His feature article Klimatoll, Marx og gratispassasjerer (in Norwegian) was published in Dagens Næringsliv on 22 February, 2022.
