MP highlights the extreme weather in the election debate – Swedish Dagbladet

MP highlights the extreme weather in the election debate – Swedish Dagbladet

While the government parties sat and negotiated its election manifesto at the prime minister’s summer residence Harpsundsvägen held Asa Romson sommartal in pouring rain at Rinkeby square in Stockholm on Saturday.

– The refugee costs alliance parties now sit and bicker about the Harpsundsvägen is a breeze by comparison with the climate costs. Financial responsibility is to immediately begin reducing emissions and climate proofing Sweden, said Romson.

Since Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt’s sommartal last weekend, the increasing flow of refugees from including Syria and Iraq has become a hot election issue, often in combination with what it means for costs and how it affects the budget funding for various initiatives.

Romson lined up resorts that after the summer coupled with extreme weather: Getinge, Munkedal, Sala, Kristinehamn and pointed to the huge sums as floods, landslides and erosion poses to society. A government study in 2007 estimated that the costs may be 100-240 billion by 2100, depending on how big the impact will be.

– These costs can not alliance parties ignore when they sit on Harpsundsvägen today said Romson.

The Green Party already has a draft of just over a billion dollars a year that will go to the work for climate-proof themselves.

Romson also took the opportunity to lift the party’s proposals to fix up a million programs.

– Our goal is that all the million homes will be renovated to modern standards and high energy efficiency by 2025, she said.

A portion of the proposal is that the root deductions should be extended so that they also can be used for climate-smart renovations of apartment buildings.
