COPENHAGEN, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, current brings warm water from the tropics northward toward the Arctic, and the flow of warm water helps keep Europe’s winters mild.
But as warming temperatures speed the thaw of Arctic ice and cause meltwater from Greenland’s ice sheet to pour into the ocean, scientists warn the cold freshwater could disrupt the current’s flow. A potential collapse of AMOC could trigger a modern-day ice age, with winter temperatures across Northern Europe plummeting to new cold extremes, bringing far more snow and ice. The AMOC has collapsed in the past - notably before the last Ice Age that ended about 12,000 years ago.

So they had man made climate change 12,000 years ago?
Where is Ross Perot when we need him.
All they have to do is put a whole bunch of big anchored boats out there at full throttle, to keep the current going.
They have lied so often about so many things, even if it is proven true we won’t be able to believe it.
I doubt they had the ambition to actually *get* the license...
Unnecessary. They only had to go with that flow. I'm betting the Iceland before geothermal development was a very different place, the hazards of deep sea fishing being what they are.
If it turns colder they will be covered in ice — so their name will finally be the truth.
Hmmm
I cannot say, I was not there that long ago.
I will soon be 78.
