Greta’s Chumps: Climate zeal decides an election in Norway

FrontPage: The main thing you need to know about the results of last week’s Norwegian elections is that the international media and political elites were absolutely thrilled – just like when Joe Biden won. “America is back!” they cheered in the world’s corridors of power last November.
