Sorry, I can't help you specifically but since you don't have any other replies yet... You might want to check out the Lonely Planet forum. www.lonelyplanet.com or thorntree.lonelyplanet.com. The forum has helped me with many, many questions I've had and you will probably be able to find some help on there! It's much more specific than this forum.

You could try contacting Icelandic airlines directly to check if they're looking for staff. Here are links to their websites: http://www.icelandair.com http://www.icelandexpress.com http://www.airatlanta.com/ http://www.bluebirdcargo.com/ http://www.icelandaircargo.com/ And here is the website of the international airport near ReykjavÃk: http://www.kefairport.com/ I'm not sure whether it's hard to find jobs in this field in Iceland. Lately most fields in Iceland have been lacking staff, so I'd say your chances are ok, especially since you have prior experience in the field. This is also a field where you might need the Icelandic language less than most other fields, so not speaking the language should not be a major obstacle. Good luck!

Do you think Japan and Iceland and all the other politics will work together
Do you think Japan and Iceland and all the other politics will work together?
I forgot the name of it, though they plan on fixing the earth and cutting down greenhouse gases by the year 2050. The council has the leaders of Idiotland (America), Japan, and all of the richest nations in the world (Why is Idiotland in it then?) Do you think their plan will work? They are also trying to cut back on burning food for oil.

That one is just bull to me because they agreed to reduce greenhouse gasses by the year 2050---giving themselves over 40 years---meaning that none of them will seriously do anything.....besides, I've heard reports that statet that if we do nothing within the next 10 years it will be too late---and the latest reports of the melting ice on the northpose and southpole are indicators that things are happening faster than expected--so basically I believe that it is too late already, the earth will be a goner by the year 2040.....

This is meaningless because China and India whose emmissions have increased exponentially in recent years won't get on board. Your name is text-book ironic.

There are a lot of nations, mostly island nations and coastal nations, that are really going to suffer tremendously from the rising of the ocean levels. I can think of what will happen to one of my particularly favorite nations, The Netherlands, and it makes me shudder. It was pretty much proven that greenhouse gases are causing the earth's climate to get hotter. There is NO disputing that unless you're a Republican that can't read or think logically. Be that as it may, we got CFC's removed when we discovered it was eating our ozone layer and now we can see that it's actually growing back. Our planet is very capable of healing itself provided you don't overload it, and we are definitely capable of overloading it now. The politics must work to solve these problems, or we won't have to worry about it, because we'll all be dead. The ecology is a very sensitive system and we can definitely screw it up irrevocably. And, um, if you want to start calling nations Idiotland, you have a whole lot of other nations in the list ahead of the US. Be fair in your assessment. China is now the biggest producer of greenhouse gases, and India will soon surpass the US as well.

I think you mean the Kyoto Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Protocol No I don't think it will work. They're all content to blame the United States for not signing on. But soon, India, China and other rapidly industrializing nations will far surpass feul consumption and pollution of the U.S. They've basically signed on that they agree with the idea of reducing pollution emissions. But they haven't come up with a way to actually implement it and actually reduce emissions. The U.S. is the only one who came out and said they won't support it because the plan as offered doesn't work, and to come back and offer something that does work. (Leave it to "Idiotland" to push for real results instead of false promises.) Added: Here's a new story from the July 9, 2008 PBS NEWS Hour, on the latest meeting between G-8 nations, and the problems and strategy needed to come up with a universal international agreement. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/environment/july-dec08/cutemissions_07-09.html (link to text transcript, and link also to video of the story)

Canadian or American working in Iceland
Canadian or American working in Iceland?
I understand that a citizen of an EEA/EU country may stay and work in Iceland without a permit for up to three months from arriving in the country, or stay for up to six months if seeking employment and that Europeans wishing to stay longer must apply for a residence permit. But what is the proper procedure for a Canadian or American citizen hoping to find employment in Iceland? Is this feasible legally? Thank you.

I'm an American who is a Resident of Iceland. As an American you don't enjoy the same privileges as an EEA/EU citizen. You may VISIT for 3 months and even verbally secure a job with an employer. However, you must leave the country on your visitor's visa and apply for a Work Permit through the Utlingninstofnun. Once your Work Permit is approved, you may return for the length of time your Work Permit allows. Unless you personally know an employer or relative in Iceland who will give you a job and send you the paperwork for the Work Permit, this is the way it's done. Sucks to be us...

I would compare that to if you were to quit smoking, drinking or drugs. You are going to have to go it alone, and cold turkey. Since it is not available, it will take will power, concentration, meditation, prayer, cold showers (or dips in the ice water). Distraction mostly, every time your mind starts to wander to things soft warm and sexy.......give your mind and body a cold water reality check. It won't be fun, but it can be done, and I am glad it is you and not me trying it..hehehe......hey, it was the best I could do on such short notice......thanks and good luck
