Is Anthropogenic (Human-Caused) Global Warming/AGW Falsifiable?

sure, there are other hot spots on earth. Iceland is the only place where all power comes from geothermal. They also use it for hot water and baking. Iceland is an amazing place.
He did say "all" and he's wrong.

No, Iceland does not produce all of its power from geothermal energy, but it does produce a significant amount:


  • Renewable energy
    Iceland's power supply is almost entirely renewable, with about 70% coming from hydropower and 30% from geothermal power.


  • Geothermal activity
    Iceland's location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and over a volcanic hotspot makes it geologically active, with underground water reservoirs heated to hundreds of degrees Fahrenheit.


  • Uses for geothermal energy
    Iceland uses geothermal energy for:
    • Electricity: Geothermal power facilities generate electricity.


    • Space heating: Iceland is a leader in using geothermal energy for space heating.


    • Smelting: Geothermal energy powers the smelting process in Iceland's aluminum manufacturing sector.


    • Processing and production: Geothermal energy is used in the processing and production of salt, seaweed, pet food, and fish farms.


    • Heating greenhouses: Geothermal energy heats the greenhouses that grow Iceland's fruit, vegetables, and flowers.


    • Tourism: Geothermal energy is used in hot springs that attract visitors.


    • Heating cold water: Geothermal steam is used to heat cold water in areas like the Reykjanes Peninsula and Reykjavík.


Geothermal power is produced in many locations around the world, including:



  • The Geysers, California
    The world's largest geothermal power plant, located in Northern California's Mayacama Mountains. The Geysers has been producing electricity since 1960.

    United States
    Other geothermal power plants in the United States include Ormesa and Patua.
Other countries that produce geothermal power include:
Kenya, El Salvador, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Japan, and Türkiye.


In the United States, most geothermal power plants are located in western states and Hawaii. This is because geothermal energy resources are closer to the earth's surface in these regions.
