without trashing the NORWEGIAN environment, but let's not whitewash over all of the CO2 they have unleashed on the world.

More generally, I think it will be interesting to see what happens next with Norway - while they have avoided the principle resource curse - what happens when all of these oil jobs disappear (10% of direct employment and probably up to 25% in an indirect sense)?

The intentional conflation of localized environmental pollution and the GHG damage to the global climate is something many Westerners do. That is how they have deluded themselves into thinking dirty streets in India is a bigger problem than Americans driving F150s.
