The AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) is now creaking under the weight of all that Pacific heat in the ocean. If that goes - which is looking increasingly likely within the next 25-50 years - then sayonara Gulf Stream and Europe can look forward to what’s likely to be extremely sub-zero winter temperatures and soaring summer temperatures.
I’m in the UK and I’ve bought an extra pair of mitts and a hand fan, so I’ll be laughing

What are we talking about when you say extremely sub zero. As in -20c or colder?

Let’s just put it this way. It is what was thought to have triggered previous ice ages.
We have the same cake day!
Exactly that, yes. We rely on the Gulf Stream for our mild climate so, if that goes, we get the extremes in both summer and winter
-20c is nothing. It’ll be a lot worse than that.
