From what I have read articles in the past, "Freeze Europe" is not quite what the headline indicates. The cooling they said is based upon the higher world average.
If the world average raises 3C, in Europe it could mean just a 1.5 or 2 C raise instead of 3.
- simmerup 2y agoAll good then. Business as usual.
- SJMG 2y agoThe article itself states, “You cannot adapt to this. There’s some studies of what happens to agriculture in Great Britain, and it becomes like trying to grow potatoes in Northern Norway.” So, in this case, the headline is accurately selling the article.
- burkaman 2y agoI'd recommend reading this article, as it's about a new study that would not have been included in the past articles you read. > Without warm water flowing toward the Arctic, he added, winter sea ice could expand as far south as England From the study itself (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk1189 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk1189): > Under the AMOC collapse, the Arctic (March) sea-ice pack extends down to 50°N Here's where 50°N intersects Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50th_parallel_north https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50th_parallel_north

Without the AMOC, western europe likely will have a climate more similar to NA at the same latitude. That means freezing in winter and burning in summer. London is on 51N, that's about the same as Calgary, compare the weather between the two. Calgary goes way, way colder in winter.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoOK, but Calgary is far inland. Wouldn't London be more similar to Vancouver?
