If Iceland did nothing except continue to exist and decided the climate crisis was everyone else's problem, they would be right. But, that is not the conscience of Iceland.

The people of Iceland are wonderful, proud of their heritage and culture. I think their sense of beauty adds to the dedication they have regarding Earth's viable environment. There isn't a place in Iceland absent of beauty. Being close to the sea and the Arctic Circle, wonderfully fresh air and geothermal pools in the deepest winter allows them to live with a sense of appreciation for nature.

Icelanders have a strong sense of benevolence. The government is very egalitarian. The Luthern church has a place in the Icelandic culture. They enjoy each other's company. Oddly, there are more Icelanders that speak English than their native Icelandic in a conversation. The Icelandic language is more or less the conversational language of the older citizens. Iceland is also uniquely European.

Iceland has had nothing to do with the current climate crisis. It's emissions are minuscule for a first world country. It is completely obvious what country has the problem. But, it is incredible to realize what country actually does something about it.

Americans should be ashamed of themselves for their self-righteousness.
