  1. TLDR unlikely to happen, if did cold cold winters, warmer summers, drier but snowier. Stormier

  2. Well, it’s a massive flow of thermal energy into NW Europe. If it were to dramatically stop the climate here would just shift to something more like Newfoundland. It would be a lot harsher and require a lot of adaptation.

    It would depend on how rapid a change was involved.

    Warmer summers are fairly unlikely in a scenario like that. It would just be colder generally.

    We’re too far away from continental Europe to really see much heat. It would be cold North Atlantic weather.

  3. I was seeing so many YouTube videos about this for years, now it’s coming from real news sources

  4. dontunderstand dontunderstand dontunderstand reduced rainfall dontunderstand

    Yay! Result!!

  5. If it did happen we’d get the same Facebook Scientists claiming its a hoax and it’s just winter. They’d refuse to wear their coats because it’s a conspiracy by big jacket to sell more clothes.

  6. Let me take this momentto remind you that the AMOC, while important, is only one of the many reasons Ireland is not as cold as Labrador or Kamchatka.

  7. No dude, everyone knows they’re using the LHC in cern to time travel and manipulate the weather! /s

  8. Being from New England originally, I love the seasonality of that weather and this would be very similar – so I’m all for it. I just don’t want to see Ireland get filled with mosquitoes though. My partner will be pissed, she much prefers the Irish temperate weather.
