"Some Dutch politicians have already dismissed the campaign as simple greenwashing."

That paragraph does continue to specify more incisive policy that isn't just plaintive advisory.

But I wanted to call out this dialectic move of doubting the reformer's sincerity or motives. It's terrifically common, not generally relevant, and seems to be widely accepted.

The Dutch often lead the way on environmental issues and social issues ... Instead or flying, I would take the train more often in the States, if our system was as efficient as travel by train is in Europe. Our system is antiquated, expensive and unreliable.
