Joint chronicle on petroleum research published in Energi og klima

April 11th a chronicle co-written by six researchers including me was published in the online magazine Energi og klima [Energy and climate], published by Norsk klimastiftelse. The chronicle was titled "Forskning for klimavennlig omstilling" [Research for climate-friendly restructuring]. In the chronicle Peter Haugan and Gunnar Kvåle (University of Bergen), Kristoffer Rypdal (University of Tromsø), myself (University of Stavanger), Arne Johan Vetlesen (University of Oslo) and Steinar Westin [Norwegian University of Technology and Science, NTNU] argue that petroleum research is problematic in ethical terms and that energy research should be aligned with necessary climate change policies.
