Iceland has declared the possible collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current a national security risk and an “existential threat,” saying the move will let the government plan for worst-case scenarios as scientists warn a shutdown could plunge parts of the Northern Hemisphere into a modern-day ice age. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, carries warm tropical water northward and helps keep Europe’s winters mild. Scientists say warming and an influx of cold freshwater from Greenland’s melting ice sheet could weaken or even collapse the flow, with consequences that span beyond the North Atlantic. “If it collapses, winter temperatures across Northern Europe could...
