If you believe in global warming, then you shouldn't fly to
Iceland. Swim maybe, or sail or row a boat. But not fly
there.

In fact, I did fly there. Other than being eight hours in a tin
can, it was a very pleasant flight. And I have doubts that
global warming has much to do with their history of volcanic
eruptions, which are the greatest hazard to air travel (as
demonstrated a few years ago).

Volcanoes have nothing to do with this.

That's what I said, yes.

No, it wasn't.


The ancestors of current-day Icelanders arrived in longboats
powered by wind, currents, and oars. If you were concerned
about your contributions to CO2 in the atmosphere, you should
have used some similarly green mode of transport.

And if you're worried about your contributions to CO2 in the
atmosphere, you should shut down your computer, put it in a box, and
throw it in a swamp. Along with every other device you own that uses
electricity.

If you are concerned about the effects of CO2 emissions, then you should stop flying and give up your electronics too.

Also, "throwing electronics in a swamp" is bad for the environment. There are proper ways to dispose of unwanted electronics and that is not one of them.

Swamps are important features of healthy environments. But your flying habits have already demonstrated your lack of concern about what you do.
