It's getting hot in herre
And not in a good way.
I just heard that some weather experts in the US were saying that the next three months in Iceland will be warm. You might think to yourself, well, that's good news ay? But I think it's actually horrible news; warm weather in Iceland in the wintertime simply means wind, rain and darkness whereas cold weather means no wind, sun and especially with a little snow--bright and beautiful days. With dark and rainy days I'm sure we'll all develop bloody seasonal depression and off ourselves one by one. In a country with a population of 15 (ok 300,000) that's a pretty bad thing you know.
And why is this happening? The answer lies in my favourite phrase these days, Global Warming. So, tomorrow there's a world-wide demonstration to urge world leaders to take action against climate change (in this I don't mean to shun the Kyoto agreement and open more polluting factories like the Icelandic leaders are doing).
I think the Icelandic politicians in charge should sit down and think a wee bit about their words and actions on this day. The thing is that Global Warming is a fashionable phrase these days and our leaders sure seem to use it. They say things like "We needa take action against Greenhouse gases bla bla bla". I don't know whether they realize that vegetation is super important when dealing with Global Warming, photosynthesis you know... Still, our politicians sink 57 km2 of vegetated areas, hmmm, where the hell were they during biology 101 in highschool?
Anyway, check out the link to the global climate campaign and see what's being done in your country tomorrow.
Have a good weekend

Oh, come now Bjork, don't you know all of this "global warming" stuff is just a natural part of the Earth's cycle? Sure, there's some "research" that says there's a "link" between man-made pollutants and the rising sea levels, decreased photosynthesis, and all of the other "problems" you hear about today, but really that's all a bunch of liberal hoo-ha. I think it's all a matter of looking at the bright side. For example, some say that if the polar ice caps keep melting at this rate, Earth as we know it will cease. But I prefer to look at all of the potential mineral deposits that we might now be able to reach since those pesky ice caps are weakening. Mmmmm, fossil fuels I love you....
(This is a joke, of course, though sadly it is drawn somewhat fr. life. I have heard ppl. say all of the above in complete seriousness. And that, painfully, is not a joke.)

Jules,
We have a saying in Iceland that goes: People are assholes.
Sadly, there's a lot of people like that in the US and in Iceland. I guess, we are just going to have to annihilate them or brainwash the crap put of them lol.
