Russia accounted for 39% of allegations

We have 999 problems and migrants ain't one
Yeah, that's true. But their production seems to be almost fully for their internal market. Which shows how crazy the scale of the green energy transition within China.
China accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023
So basically, China also installed twice as much wind power as the rest of the world in 2023
It's similar with solar, but there China has a bit lower percentage of the demand, and more of manufacturing. -> It is a major exporter. See, e.g., https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/solar-pv-manufacturing-capacity-and-production-by-country-and-region-2021-2027

The headline is about China. But their second figure shows the situation outside of China:
Overall, the top five western OEMs represented 93% of the global volumes outside of China.
Out of these, only Genereal Electrics is Amercian. Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, Nordex, and Enercon are all EU-based.
This post suggests that the role of General Electrics decreased in 2024: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/wl-106-top-10-wind-turbine-manufacturers-2024-windletter-66wuf/
I think the difference is that, while both Russia and Germany are federations on paper, Germany is much less centralized.
- to the best of my knowledge, 3.5% would be military spending, and 1.5% could be other "defence" spending (as others have already written).
Still, not fun with the 3.5%/5%. Overshooting, typical for "weapons as war repellent" strategy (and unfortunately, expanded military often does not want to stay idle...)
Money is increasingly needed by the federal treasury, which spends every third ruble on the war
Woah, 1/3rd of the budget is a lot.
So cool! I would also love to see a day train from Malmö/Stockholm to somewhere in Germany ^‿^
Maybe it is not all caused by CC
It is a common thread that multiple anthropogenic stressors, including climate change, have more-than-additive effects. In other words, many climate change-related problems would be mild if not for other stuff we do.
See, e.g., 10:07 here for savannization of the Amazon: https://www.ted.com/talks/johan_rockstrom_the_tipping_points_of_climate_change_and_where_we_stand?subtitle=en
In the case of flamingoes, it is probably land use change as well.
Mid-winter, there is usually quite some wind. See the graph in the link.
There are challenging moments, though. But storage for weeks, not months, might be robust enough.

Well, there is something to it, and I think we talk about different parties.
Moderaterna, who have the PM, are just classic libs (though there is the true neoliberal Liberalerna in the ruling coalition as well). They are in the EPP, for those who follow European politics. Their program is, tbh, like that of the Democrats under Biden and Kamala. This is where the minister comes from. I think you mean them.
Now, to get a majority in the government, Moderaterna (and two other parties) made a deal (Tidö avtalet) with Sverigedemokraterna. They are not in the government, but the government made an agreement with Sverigedemokraterna, vowing to implement some of their program in exchange for their support in the parliament. I call them far-right. They are in the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) in the European Parliament. Their main thing is being against migration. Generally, you could compare them to Trump vol. 1.
I understand why others might think this is not far right. I come from Poland, the two largest parties come from EPP and ECR, and they are followed by even further right. Similarly, Sverigedemokraterna is not as far right as, for example, AfD in Germany. Or as Trump vol. 2. But others going even crazier does not exclude Sverigedemokraterna from the far-right.
Swedish government be like:
Officially endorse far-right party
Push xenophobic agenda
A mentally sick person organizes the largest school shooting in the country, targeting specifically migrants >
Youth joins far-right groups
That includes a son of a ministry working on how to deport as many migrants as possible, making visa process as painful as possible, even for high-skill workers
But WHY?!!?

I got to know about this only from this article (I send Wikipedia's take on the info, since it is more accurate):
She represents so well many far-right voters who simply vote against themselves, thinking that they are “special” and even if they do the same things they despise, they will be spared from the prosecution.
