They’re not in the best spot climate change wise though. The DPRK would probably fare better.

Give them all of Florida. It’s similar climate, more land, and will make gusano heads explode.

Iceland may lose some surface area due to rising seas, but warmer climates will probably create more farmland on the rich volcanic soil. They can probably maintain a modest quality of life for a very long time cut off from the rest of the world like Cuba, but without the increasing number and severity of tropical storms every year

The gulf stream collapsing means that anything above the 30th parallel will be covered in meters of ice in a matter of years, iceland will be one of the first to fall to it.

this is complete bs by the way it’s not nearly as simple as the Gulf Stream being the only factor keeping northern europe more temperate, it probably won’t collapse in “a matter of years” so much as a matter of decades or centuries, and the cooling effect that has will likely be offset by other factors such as an ice-free Arctic no longer acting to limit heating of the northern oceans

i don’t think anyone has a good idea what will actually happen from that, it seems very silly to suggest it’d be worse than climes on similar latitude without a gulf stream. Russian east & Canada are cold but they aren’t unlivable—and they’re becoming warmer like everywhere

Iceland is full of snowy barbarians that know no civilization, hope you like running around in a loin cloth and eating stinky fish. oh and there’s no shade on account that the beggards cut down all their trees, not even for anything cool just lots of boats to go get more stinky fish

Frozen snow and ice melting has actually caused Iceland to rise a bit as an island as the weight on it decreases

So it’s actually gaining land

Thinking about things out of your control all the time is going to make you stressful You are not a decision maker or a seer you can’t know or control the future

Text a friend to grab a drink or watch a movie is much more useful than thinking about this thing

Yeah that’s probably right and I do try to not think too much about these things😵‍💫, but I do hope to leave my home country some day, so I need a target country to work towards in the meantime😅
