We, the undersigned, are scientists working in the field of climate research and feel it is
urgent to draw the attention of the Nordic Council of Ministers to the serious risk of a
major ocean circulation change in the Atlantic. A string of scientific studies in the past few
years suggests that this risk has so far been greatly underestimated. Such an ocean
circulation change would have devastating and irreversible impacts especially for Nordic
countries, but also for other parts of the world.Climate Scientists
