Iceland Warns Slower AMOC Is A Security Threat To The Nation
- •Iceland faces a severe, long-term climate security threat from the potential slowing or stopping of the AMOC ocean current, which currently prevents the nation from freezing.
- •This climate shift would profoundly impact Iceland's energy demand, infrastructure resilience, and operational stability for large power consumers (e.g., data centers) and industrial operations.
- •The warning signals an urgent need for strategic energy planning, potentially involving significant investments in resilient and adaptable energy infrastructure to mitigate future climate-induced risks.
