How Oslo Learned to Fight Climate Change

  • I would just like to say how much I appreciate the whole No-ICE-Construction-Vehicles thing as an Oslo parent who has to squeeze by a long-term waterworks project site every morning and afternoon for daycare dropoff. There's only a narrow pedestrian passage to get around the dig site.

    The backhoes, augers -- even the dumptrucks -- are all full electric (!). It's a small, older street with narrow pedestrian detours on either side, but the noise levels are so low I can continue speaking at normal volume to my kids the whole way.

  • What they didn’t tell you in the article is that a lot of householdings in Oslo use firewood to keep their houses warm during the cold season.

    People unloading firewood from their Tesla X/Audi e-tron is a usual sight in Oslo.

  • Oslo (that is Norway) cannot fight climate change. Not on its own.

    The whole world as one maybe can.
