Would this event happen abruptly? Like one year everyone in the Nordic regions is fine and then the next "omg everyone is frozen" ? Or would this happen gradual

Would this event happen abruptly? Like one year everyone in the Nordic regions is fine and then the next "omg everyone is frozen" ?
Or would this happen gradually as the years get worse and worse?
- rightbyte 2y agoI think you are thinking about "The day after tomorrow"? Read this for a similar event in historic times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age The Nordics, Alps were about 2 degrees colder than today. I guess it wasn't too nice.
- magicalhippo 2y agoNot Day after Tomorrow abruptly. There are indications[1] most of the change can happen over as little as 50 years, which in the grand scheme of things is pretty darn fast. Seems it can get quite brutal too here in Norway: The trends are even more notable when considering particular months (Fig. 3B). As an example, February temperatures for Bergen (Norway) will drop by about 3.5°C per decade (Fig. 3D). Granted that's a simulation that's of the AMOC stability, YMMV and all that.
