Iceland deems possible Atlantic current collapse a security risk, and it’s a concern that resonates far beyond its shores.

This isn’t just about a slightly colder winter; we’re talking about a fundamental shift in global weather patterns, and the potential consequences are nothing short of a serious security risk.
The irony isn’t lost on anyone: some might see an AMOC collapse as a solution to global warming, if only because it could bring about a temporary cooling. The reality, however, is far more complex and dangerous.… Continue reading
