    What effects would the collapse of this current have on regional and global climate? I assume the effects for Europe would be substantial but what about the rest of the world?

      Basically it would make for a colder Europe and warmer tropics. Harsher storms in north america likely because of the change in warmth at the tropics.

        This is obviously bad for the environment in Europe etc but as a joke: After spending 10+ days in 38-45 degrees weather with a cold night of 33, I’m all for colder Europe!

      Some of the biggest unknown impacts are ecological. This is such a large area of the ocean effects could be absolutely disastrous.
