At first it was surprising to find such centrist climate change language in a museum in such a leftist country, until remembering what a giant exporter of hydrocarbons Norway is. The juxtaposition of the museum's moderate tone (focused on population control, with little mention of clean energy innovation) with the leftist American documentary it shows (Chasing Ice -- worth a look on Netflix streaming) is stark. For instance, the museum emphasizes that global *cooling* killed the wooly mammoth. Maybe that's just calling balls and strikes but it seems like a conscious choice for a place of relatively few words. That said, the GHG orthodoxy would have more credibility if it was transparent about the fact the global warming, while rife with costs, also brings some benefits.
In any event, the fake glacial cave you walk through is pretty sweet! read more
