It's not stupid. The country they're selling oil to is going to be using oil regardless of who sells it to them.* And now Norway has reduced their own fossil fuel usage.

(*Unless enough of the world as a group chooses to not sell oil, which makes oil become too expensive for that other country to buy.)

You're right. Basic economics. Given climate change though, I'm more interested in countries like Norway investing in policies that grow environmentally responsible industries rather than simply reducing a small part of the emissions of antequated and polluting ones.
