Climate Fix by professor Roger Pielke Jr.: Fascinating Climate Policy PhD of a Member of the European Parliament: ”Eija-Riitta Korhola is a rare politician. She was a long-serving member of the European Parliament from Finland as a member of the European People’s Party, the largest block in the legislature. She has also recently completed an academic dissertation for a PhD in a policy field that she specializes in – climate policy. I can’t recall ever hearing of another politician completing a PhD while in office. Rare indeed.”

  1. Hullo from Sweden. I am active in the Swedish networks Klimatupplysningen and Klimatsans as well as the internationel network Clintel. We appreciate anyone who questions EU politics and goals, based on facts.

    Among Swedish EU candidates, virtually not one does this. We want safe and untroubled provision of energy, resources and food for everyone. You can reach me on +46-70-628 87 76, tege.tornvall@gmail.com.
