Absent a reduction in the ratio of carbon dioxide emissions to GDP, emissions will go up in the real world, regardless of silly accounting tricks. Of course, silly accounting tricks on emissions are to be expected by those seeking to present BAU as progress, but I’m really surprised that it is Greenpeace that is engaging in such shenanigans.

Energy use in Iceland

In the country of geysers the geothermal energy is used in winter for heating not only houses and apartments, but also greenhouses, pavements and dangerous traffic routes as well. The Icelanders say that it is cheaper to heat pavements and roads than to heal the injuries obtained on the slippery icy pedestrian surfaces. There are a lot of basins and swimming pools with hot geothermal water in the country with only 280 thousand inhabitants. Visiting Icelanders’ homes one can always remember the scent of rotten eggs’ smell in bathrooms or kitchens. Still Icelanders are proud of this scent; they call it Icelandic perfume. “We love this odour, as it’s purely natural”, explains Albert Albertsson, representative of one of the nation’s energy companies. He also adds that earthquakes are actually Icelanders` friends, as they create huge reservoirs of high temperature water under the Earth’s surface. The water segregates also in the cliffs’ gaps, which emerge after earthquakes.
