The Iceland Travel Reforestation Project

In the summer of 2014 the Icelandic Forest Service assigned Iceland Travel 3 hectares of land in Haukadalur. The area , which is near the famous Geysir hot spring, is rich in folklore and history and is the perfect location for a detour to plant a tree.
The Iceland Travel Reforestation project has three main purposes: To educate, to restore and enhance the native landscape and to reduce the effects of CO2 on the environment.
We've a stop at the grove in a few of our tours. Learn more here: www.icelandtravel.is/about-us...

You know that giant thing in the sky that controls everything on earth to include the climate. More plant food= more plants and all forms of life (it’s called the food chain). That and we are at a geological all time low for carbon. There is a reason our overloards only use 120 years of climate data when they have billions of years worth of it: sheep are too stupid to do their own research. That and there was a time (the Carboniferous) when life exploded and CO2 was 50x higher. Plus let me know a place in today’s global environment the human form could survive w/o clothing, hence we evolved in and are suited for a much warmer climate.

    @@garrisp You use uncomplet information and pretend to be correct. Vulcanos are the biggest producers of carbon but they don't keep emiting. Literally they emit and stay quiet for a while or even "die". So the CO2 levels should be increasing and decreasin dependent on the years, and instead, CO2 levels are increasing non-stop. Also it is to much concidence that CO2 levels were decreasing until the second industrial revolution and started to increase at imprecedent rates after WW2. So using vulcanos as an execuse is one of the most non sense you can spread! About CO2 being plant food. Not entirelly true. If levels are increasing means that plants aren't capable of absorving it all, wich means that there are other factors that limit plants growth such as the wildfires and drys. Also deflrestation has increased soil erosion at giant rates wich means that minerals and organic matter in the soil are more rare, also limiting plants growth. There are also studies who say that because of global warming plants photosystesis will be cut by half. SO the plants execuse is also stupid Also no, we didn't evolve and we weren't born for warmer climates, we were for colder ones, for most of our history. Just because climate has changed troughout the centuries doesn't mean this time is also natural. For someone who claim that the others don't do their own research (wich is a stupid assumption, after all 97%-99% of scientific community defend the idea of manmade global warming) you seem to don't exit the basic levels of knowlegd. You actually seem to have a bit more than what they teahc in school, wich is far less than needed to enter in a discussion here. Also the problem with the warming isn't that we will die, its because of biodiversity lost, decrease in food production due to drys, increase of wilfires and rising sea levels. Those are the consequences of global warming that we fear.

    @@joaquimbarbosa896 97% consensus once existed in the scientific community that there exist canals on mars and that Caucasian’s are the superior race and blacks only counted as 3/5 a person. And of course you know since you’re an expert apparently on volcanoes which you don’t even know how to spell that one VEI 3 eruption emits more CO2 than the entire industrial revolution and we have these constantly going off. Again your arguments fail to address the billions of year in which we have proven CO2 levels as high as 50xs today’s levels. And again you neglect to address the fact that if you add more food to the food chain (carbon) you produce more life. There is a consensus in science as there is a consensus in media because they are both part of an industrial complex funded by big government and the new world order, and if you don’t believe me listen to them admit they want a one world government with open borders, total control over the population and a “new normal” of accepting with out question the dictates of people who speak of population control out of one side of their mouths and the need to save as many lives as possible out of the other (see into the Gates family history on eugenics if you don’t believe me). And lastly you fail to address the giant hypocrisy of the left and other man made climate change pushers who are by far the greatest emitters of CO2 and the most powerful cult on earth today with their leaders owning more beach side mansions and private jets than anyone else flying around to private conventions on how to control the populations. What they really mean by less CO2 is less me and you and if you don’t want to be remembered as those Germans in the 40s are then you better take note when they promise only “14 days to flatten the curve” a year ago and now with total population lock down they are moving in for our guns. Last time I checked: Hitler took the guns, Mao took the guns, Stalin took the guns, Pol Pot took the guns, Fidel took the guns, even Mussolini.

    The climate activists at the UN never tell you 3 things: 1. The earth is supersaturated with respect to the spectral absorption of water vapor and CO2, so any additional CO2 is not going to make a difference--we're already at 100% spectral absorption, and 2. The estimation variance of the General Circulation Model used by scientists working for the UN to predict the earth's climate overwhelms the estimate, rendering the models useless and criminally suspect! Redistribution and control are the UN's objectives. 3. CO2 only makes up 1% of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere but the UN and their "climate scientists" don't want you to know that, or you'll question their conclusions about CO2. And you should not only question their conclusions, but seriously doubt them.
