Emissions of GHG have increased by 26% (EU-15) or 180 million tonnes between 1990 and 2006, excluding international aviation and marine transport—an amount larger than the entire annual national emissions for 2006 from Belgium (132 million tonnes) or Romania (157 million tonnes). Air pollution. Transport at a crossroads.

Icelandic volcano eruption of 1973. A similar effect followed the eruption of a long-dormant Icelandic volcano in 1973. London commuters found better routes, and Icelandic young people got more schooling and found better places to live. Resources then move from the weaker to stronger entities, and average productivity increases.
