Isn't Norway a bit hypocritical: Amass wealth from providing fossils to other countries polluting the world, then be super environmental locally? Sure, still miles better than most of the other fossil rich countries, but the Netherlands for instance are actively shutting down their gas fields if I am informed correctly..

Relatable, but if the proceeds go from 100% fossil fuel production to less than 100% that seems like an obvious net gain.
Why is that hypocritical? Would it be less hypocritical if they polluted more locally?
