Statsbudsjettets price increase of 15 cents and 35 cents, respectively, on gasoline and diesel, was no surprise, but when the government presented the entirety of the klimabudsjettet was still not samarbeidspartiene satisfied.
– Is not the state budget greener, votes we for it, concluded the Left-leader Trine Skei Grande.
IN the NRK tv-show the Debate, claimed the Left leader that the budget is not on the way to Paris and demanded a reduction in C02 emissions to reach the targets for 40 per cent klimagassreduksjon by 2030.
A number of others in the environmental movement said the same thing and called it a miljøsvik.
Saturday held the Left landsstyremøte, and the message to the government is the same.
– the Government has lowered the fee on the bensinbiler and increased on the electric cars. There is a black switch that heavy oil, ” says partilederen and continues:
I was proud of a prime minister who used his compelling to persuade the other countries to sign the Paris agreement. Awesome, at least in the chair. Then I expect that Erna delivers. One thing is that she promised it to the Left, but she promised it also to the world, ” she says to the national executive committee.

– does not Work fast enough
Should the Uk be able to reduce 40 percent by 2030, we need to annually cut 850.000 tonnes of C02. Today the government has put up cuts of about 200.000. Several of the government’s measures will work in the long term, but it is not fast enough, believe partilederen in the Left.
fuel surcharges are not only a symbol for the Left. Cicero believes that the transport sector is the sector in Norway are best to be cut in order to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Norway’s major greenhouse gas emissions come in five sectors: oil, industry, agriculture, heating and transport. The goals of the EU applies to non-kvotepliktig sector and the cuts must therefore be taken in the agriculture-, heating – and transport sector. Of them is transportation sector is the largest.
the agricultural sector is difficult practically and politically. Researcher in center for climate research, CICERO is convinced that if we are to reach the goals by 2030, it is in the transport sector you must start.

– We can’t stop producing food. But transport is a big no-kvotepliktig sector, and it is also the easiest because we already have the technology to implement the cuts. Electric cars and biofuels can contribute also, but in food production it is not as easy, ” says Roman Aamaas, a senior research fellow at CICERO.
In the agricultural sector, it is the cows which among other things stands for the largest emissions in the form of methane gas.
– Had not been enough no matter
Cut in oppvarmingssektoren is also difficult in the short term. The government has in the budget entered for the phasing out and prohibition of oil heating, but the proposal is already adopted policies. In 2020, it will provide C02-cuts up to 1.3 million tonnes.
CICERO-scientist don’t think anyone would be satisfied with the fiscal budget for 2017, whatever they had presented by klimakutt.
This suggests green skattekommisjon
Selection presents more than 80 specific recommendations. The most central is that:
- introduced a new general tax on all emissions of greenhouse gases in the not-kvotepliktig sector at 420 nok per tonne of CO2. Sectors that are today facing lower or no fee will thus have to pay as much for their greenhouse gas emissions as those that contribute to emissions from road traffic.
- Vehicle and drivstoffavgiftene be and will be increased to better reflect costs of road traffic to society.
- production support for the red meat is reduced to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Fee on greenhouse gas emissions on the hydrology in the marsh and larger arealendringer as the first step in developing a more general naturavgift.
- Subsidies and skatteutgifter with negative miljøvirkning be removed or reduced.
- Increased federal revenues used for general reductions in tax rates for individuals and companies.
- For a full overview of the committee’s recommendations, see chapter twelve in the NOU 2015: 15 Set price on the environment – Report from the green skattekommisjon.
the Facts about the selection
- Appointed in august 2014.
- Led by Lars-Erik Borge, professor of economics at NTNU.
- Ekspertutvalg consisting of six economists and a lawyer. One of the utvalgsmedlemmene is Danish.
- handed over its report NOU 2015: 15 Set price on the environment – Report from the green skattekommisjon to finance minister Siv Jensen 9. December 2015.
– It is almost impossible to reach the ambitious goals. No matter what they had put forward had it probably wouldn’t have been enough. It is difficult to find measures to cut 856.000 in C02 tonnes, but we had divided the goals up to 2030, we had possibly been happy in the long term, ” says Aamaas.
He explains that Miljødirektoratet have a plan for how you will manage it anyway, but the fact that the goals are ambitious.
Trine Skei Grande is fixed and that the claim her was a green switch, not the higher fuel surcharges in itself. She seems, in contrast to the MDGS that five million more expensive gas is too much.
– They believe it to tax away is good in itself. To increase taxes is no work of art, it has politicians done in 6000 years. It is replaced that is the challenge. It should be profitable to switch to green solutions, ” says Grande.
Partilederen in the Left lists other climate measures that can now be their new innovation:
- All in Norway should get a green tax credit
- Remove the vat on public transport
- Remove omregistreringsavgiften
