The Gulf Stream plays a significant role in maintaining the climate of the US East Coast and Western Europe. “We conclude with a high degree of confidence that Gulf Stream transport has indeed slowed by about 4% in the past 40 years.” The full study is Here
What will be the consequences to this?
Rise in sea levels on the east coast, reduced rain in the east coast, stronger storms, and more precipitation in Europe and the tropics. According to wiki.
I think it’ll also make some areas cold as fuck and probably heat up the gulf.
Britain and Iceland are utterly fucked.
East coast of Canada and US will become arid. Caribbean will become hotter and storms will become more severe. Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, and Norway will be substantially colder (compare latitude of UK with Northern Canada) and with less precipitation. Basically, everywhere that relies on warm tropical moist air currents will drastically change.
Europe is at the latitude of Canada, it lacks Canada’s climate gradient because of the Gulf stream
We 'bouta see Siberia stretch its way to the Elbe!
Welp, at least we’ll get to see snow again before we drop
We unfuck ourselves like we always do.
But first, a whole lot of nothing….

“Am I a joke to you?” - Nuclear power in Europe.

It’s not green enough for the ecofascists who’d rather have coal than nuclear, but we still have nuclear.
France is still gangster with it. But the rest of Europe pretends that it’s greener to buy oil from Russia.
Nuclear plants need water to cool. This would also make Western Europe drier.
