With Donald Trump declaring global warming "bullshit" and a hoax invented by China, Björk believes the United States should be particularly wary of how climate change affects the world. The businessman-turned-GOP-candidate, she says, is one of the "last roaring dinosaurs of that generation." From her perspective, the industrialists of the 1800s through the 20th century invented "miraculous things" for mankind but "as a species," it's now time to refocus. "We should have switched gears 50 years ago," she says. "This is our last, last, last chance to do it now. I'm an optimist. I think we can still do it. … Trump's style is obviously not going to get us anywhere. But I really think we can change this and if we act now on a massive scale, we can do stuff."

Since climate change is a broad subject, the singer has decided to focus on Iceland because that's where she feels she can make the most difference. "I don't want to pretend I'm an expert in other fields," she says. "But I know for sure if I would ask my fans to put pressure on the Icelandic government to keep the Icelandic highlands as they are, it would make a big difference. International pressure has proven be good to the Icelandic rednecks. It's done wonders when people like Obama have taken green stances on big issues. It has a domino effect on rednecks globally." She laughs. "Sometimes they listen harder to people abroad, rather than a local mud fight." Ideally, she'd like her fans to peruse a Facebook page dedicated to preserving the Icelandic highlands .. https://www.facebook.com/gaetumgardsins/ .. and to petition her government .. http://heartoficeland.org/ .
