Friday Roundup 30. mars 2007 15:51 There is a lot of anticipation for the new Björk album, Volta. Industry insiders Pitchfork magazine is all over a few lousy video clips that have been leaked from the pre-release listenging-party the other night. For hardcore Björk fans, this might give some indication of what to expect. Former Head of KSÍ (Icelandic Fooball Association) and current head of the soon-to-be-relegated FA Premier League club West Ham, Eggert Magnússon, is making bold claims as to the future of the club, predicting Champions League seat in five years time. Bold predictions from a bald man. So, Iceland is one of the least corrupt countries in the world, according to the World Economic Forum. That´s nice to know. Well, who needs corruption when you know everyone personally? While we do our best to add to the world´s CO2 emission by building architecturally stunning aluminum smelters, our president has taken the iniative in reducing CO2 emission by pumping it into the ground... Over the next two years, a team of scientists will try to inject carbon dioxide--charged water into the basalt beneath the ground through boreholes drilled by a nearby geothermal energy plant. The CO2 will, in theory, react with the porous rock and form a stable mineral that could remain in the rock for millions of years. If they´re right, Iceland could not only render itself carbon neutral but also give the world a means of protection from the effects of CO2 emissions until they can be reduced Krista Mahr brings you up to date.
