“We cannot misuse climate change as a cover for colonialism.”
Here's fascinating story about what's behind @GretaThunberg recent protest against a wind farm in Norway.
Why is it important and what is the chain of events that led to this?
Let's connect the dots!

We start off in Fosen, Lapland, Norway. Sami people who live there used to be nomadic, in the past faced oppresion of their culture, live modern lives today, still tend to their reindeers.
A huge wind farm Roen was built there, but Sami were against it.

They have won a court rulling in 2021 that two large wind farms being built on their land have been constructed with violation of the law. But the court did not decide about consequences, so the Roan farm operates anyway.

I have to disagree with @FredSimonEU on this piece. Why is it Indigenous people who have to compromise, and accept violations of their rights?
Why wouldn't you ask corporate developers to compromise, and find fairer and better ways to build?

@FredSimonEU "Hard choices need to be made, some of them involving trade-offs"
Doesn't it seem fairer to ask those who've always had power and money and dominance to be the ones who make the hard choices, rather than the historically marginalised and most cruelly hard-done in recent history?

@FredSimonEU Why would you go straight to "Indigenous communities should ignore the findings of the Supreme court and accept violations of their rights"
Rather than: rich countries should pay up and transform so they demand fewer critical minerals in transport?
