For those of you that don't understand the climate impact of this on Europe...
Go look at the latitude of frigid-cold Minneapolis-St.Paul or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and compare it to Europe. It goes right through central France, almost down to the Mediterranean coast. Spain is on the same latitude as Chicago. Iceland is quite temperate, but it is parallel with central Alaska.
The entire country of England is basically in same latitude as Canada, and not the southern parts of Canada. We think of England as a rainy but temperate country, not some frigid hellscape.
Now it will probably weaken and not collapse... probably...
There probably is huge moderation of temperatures due to the oceans and seas surrounding Europe in general, but the Gulf Stream pumps an unfathomable amount of heat into the area.
