Now you have come to the page, Choose variable. This page give you the oportunity to select which variables and values you want to display in your result of the table. A variable is a property of a statistical unit. The page is divided into several boxes, one for each variable, where you can select values by click to highlight one or more values. It always starts with the statistics variable which is the main value counted in the table.

Values from Iceland's National Inventory Report, which is produced by the Icelandic Environment Agency (Umhverfisstofnun). This table only shows warming values for emissions (CO2 equivalents) calculated from other emissions.
Iceland's National Inventory Report is a summary of greenhouse gas emissions that occur within Iceland's territory. This includes all emissions from on land due to energy production and material use, as well as emissions from livestock and land changes that have been made by humans. This also includes all emissions from fishing, sailing between domestic ports and from domestic flights.
International marine trarnsport and international air transport is not included in this accounting.
Actions that have a direct impact on greenhouse gas emissions are included here, but the trading of emission credits, the purchase of carbon offsets and other types of investments do not affect these figures.
These figures are Iceland's current accounting for the Icelandic administration's obligations to the United Nations Climate Council (UN-FCCC). Commitments cover, in some cases, only sub-items in this accounting.
