"Climate, climate, before and after elections"

Maybe Trump can spread across the Baltic Sea, the view of Helsinki with all the small islands is beautiful. In the middle of the Baltic Sea lies the big island of Gotland and, as is known, the annual festival of democracy, the week of Almedals, took place recently.

We did not talk much about climate. At least he was not found in the report or in the leadership of the party. This is not what happened to all of us who followed Almedal Week at a distance

I've done both parts myself, been up a certain number of weeks Visby and followed him all the way. In place is like a sandwich table, the messages intersect and there is a lot of knowledge to recover by slipping into a seminar. There are common topics on health care, school, gender, environment and climate.

But what dominates in the media report and in the discourse and politics of the party leaders, it is what dominated up to here. Immigration and integration, crime and punishment.

A new assassination contributed. Like the opposition movement of the Nordic resistance movement in Visby. In order not to be misunderstood: it is important to fight gang crime. As well as the small group of Nazis who are in Sweden. It is important that the police intervene when the crime is committed. And to tighten the laws and punishments that need to be tightened. On the contrary, there is a rather broad political unity

But is it really reasonable that a small group of violent young men dominates so much the political appeal?

Who remembers all the assurances that #metoo would lead to permanent and long-term changes? Almost nothing has been said about it in the party direction or in broadcast programs. Few people seem to be concerned about the transfer of gender equality to the feminist initiative in the electoral movement. Or about leaving the climate to the environmental party.

Then came the last day of Almedals week and it was the trip of the Party of the Environment. In front of the speech, the political commentator of SVT supposed that it would act of the climate:

. been dry and sunny. It can only be weather, but if the climate is global, it will be more disturbing.
