As comical, conspiratorial, and insane as it seems, Sweden's elite rulers have made the decision, and taken concrete steps as the planet's self-appointed model of neo-liberalism, to reduce the nation's [[carbon footprint]] by turning their country into a [[Third World]] hellhole. The technical term for this project is "social ecological transformation", which is part of the anti-consumption "degrowth" movement to promote "sustainability" and limit "resource depletion". Swedish leaders and experts have been in a panic since the World Wildlife Fund reported that since 1987, at the current rate of consumption, 1.3 planets would be necessary for sustainability, and recommended Sweden adopt an immediate 3% annual reduction in carbon emissions. In 2008 the World Wildlife Fund experts reported we would need 2.0 planets to sustain lifestyles if everyone lived as Swedes do. A "one planet economy" is the goal. The projections are based on a [[zero sum]] paradigm with no allowance for future unknown inventions, technological improvement, or innovation in economic and energy efficiency.
