Breakfast with Margot, the swenglish version!

Had planned to have breakfast with Margot Wallström, this morning, unfortunately, there were only bread with ham left when I entered, so it became a youhurt cocktail instead with fresh fruit which is not so bad. However, it is important to remember the small details when the EU Commission invited to discuss the climate negotiations. The good examples must never be underestimated.

Otherwise, it was same old politicians tugget where all the answers to the questions could equally come from an pre-programmed official, so there were nothing new under the sun. Even when some (2 of 80) "Climate gate" activists argued that COP15 skouldn't be opened at all, Margot respond as a true official. Once again it is so that there are those who see the ability to disrupt order is the one that receiving the most attention, relative to its size.

Anyway, it was the first time I have a separate chat with Margot (147 seconds) on how she looks at the possibility that we Swedes must reduce our CO2 emissions by 85% in one decade (from 13 tons to 2 tons), when it still so that 9 out of 10 cars only have one person in the car (own observation at the carque inside the bus to Malmo from Lomma). Still, it is so that it is far too little action and too much talk. To conclude with the answer given by Mrs Wallström, 'there must be strong leadership to succeed. " We hope that this leadership can deliver at the end of the 10 days remaining of COP15.
