I am also grateful that Trump lost
I am personally not a fan of Biden, but I truly dislike Trump with all my life, and even though I don't live in the U.S. I would like to see it under better leadership. Sucks that Republicans got the Senate :/

Quick internet search proves he is wrong on Norway and oil, by the way. Yep, I hadn't heard anything about and I tried to find any article saying something like that, and I couldn't even find a fake article about it. There's nothing recent about Norway slowing down on oil production. This just in: www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/04/denmark-to-end-new-oil-and-gas-exploration-in-north-sea"Denmark becomes the first European country to officially begin ending fossil fuel exploration as it announces its discontinuation of oil drilling in the North Sea" Awesome! TIME TO CELEBRATE! QUE THE MUSIC! Anyway, my point of posting this news article is that, with these european countries like Denmark exiting the oil industry in their move towards achieving carbon neutrality, it's evidence that I did in fact read an article a while back about Norway planning to do the same thing; I just simply wasn't remembering the details properly. Shame on you and Scipeabrainwhitesupremist for accusing me of being a liar. I don't deserve that. Don't do that shit again, Balder.

MeleeMonk Denmark produces a lot less oil and gas than Norway. The two aren't really comparable (look it up). It's easier for Denmark to quit the oil business as it's not as integral as it is here. And dude, Scipio and I are still waiting for that bullshit article you keep mentioning about Norway quitting the oil business. You're still full of shit Maestro and it seems you'll always be that.

(sweats nervously) The Maestro doesn't know how to convince anyone of anything and when people don't agree with him, he attacks them by labeling them as racists. He's been calling Scipio for a racist/fascist/white supremacist/nazi/skinhead for so long now that I've forgotten why he intially called him these things. Since it comes from Maestro though, we all know that this is complete bullshit and 100% unfounded. There's as much truth to this as that article Maestro keeps bringing up.

Well I've read that Norway has pledged to become carbon neutral just like Demark and several other European countries have, so why is it that far-fetched that I saw a news article a while back about Norway reducing oil production or talking about reducing it? I mean, in order for a country to become carbon neutral, then they would HAVE to end oil production since the most commonly burned fossil fuels like Petroleum and Diesel are derived from crude oil. Use your god-damned head for once, Balder.

Shame on you and Scipeabrainwhitesupremist... Hey scipioafricanus , (to quote Crocodile Dundee) "you're a black fella, aren't ya?" (sweats nervously) Actually, he admitted in the past that he's not black and has no black heritage. He claimed to have some native american ancestry (which is odd, since he has never expressed any interest, concern, or support for native american rights), but no black ancestry. So why does he hide behind a black avatar and username? It's anyone's guess. Personally, I see it as just a terrible attempt at political correctness. Sort of like "hey everybody, I might not be black, I am pro BlueLivesMatter, I don't care the least bit about black culture, and although I endorse a president who never showed a shred of concern towards America's black population, just forget about all that and look at this cool gun slingin' black cowboy! Guns are awesome."

I mean, in order for a country to become carbon neutral, then they would HAVE to end oil production since the most commonly burned fossil fuels like Petroleum and Diesel are derived from crude oil. Use your god-damned head for once, Balder. This is how i see it since I am Norwegian. Norway's current goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 50-55% by 2030 (this is from what it was in 1990). The original goal for Norway was 40%, this is all according to the Paris climate accord (or at least the official government site i found), and I think Norway was one of the first countries to actually change the goal to something more positive. Anyways, Norway is far of becoming carbon neutral and this is for different reasons. Balder is completely right in saying Norway can't really stop the oil production, because the oil is really our only stable income and the Norwegian krone (our currency) is pretty much controlled by the oil prices. I feel like a lot of young people in our capitol supports the green party in our country only because they dont truly understand how we get our money. Balder might see it differently, (I can always be wrong since I am obviously not a professional, but this is just how I see it) "de grønne" is the environmental focused political party in Norway and they are pretty much a joke for the average Norwegian. I remember that a couple of years ago they said that they wanted Norway to stop all production of oil, but without creating any new jobs for the countless of jobs that would be lost. It aint easy to both go all green and not bankrupt an entire country that has its foundation deep within a non environmentally friendly method of making money But since this is a thread of celebration, let's celebrate the fact that Norway has made strides towards less carbon output.
