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.
Has an ice age ever started during a current ice age before?
There have been many interglacial periods.
