They should look at the Myrdasjokull glacier which has recently had a significant addition of ice. The Hofsjokull, Langjokull, Myrdasjokull and Vatnajokull glaciers have also expanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COP26 could ponder the cold hungry future for mankind when the globe moves inevitably into its next cycle of ice, and their green energy baubles fail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly they should take a short tour to see something real &#8211; the Fagradalshraun volcano, the first shield volcano to erupt in Iceland in about 8,000 years. This one volcano has emitted about a million tons of CO2 in three months. Who is figuring that into their carbon targets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/saltbushclub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/iceland-volcanoes.pdf\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, Iceland can also provide COP26 tourists with a lesson in climate futility. While the volcano is pouring millions of tonnes CO2 into the atmosphere, Iceland is spending $millions on collecting some of that gas to send it back underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/carbonremoved.com\/carbon-removal-projects\/direct-air-capture-and-storage-iceland\/#:~\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>COP delegates should also ponder the destructive stupidity of the EU \u2018climate package\u2019 that will have no effect on future climate:<br><em><br><\/em>V\u00e1clav Klaus, previous president of the Czech Republic has described it well:<br><em>\u201c<\/em><em>This EU climate package is not bold.
