Comment on How Soon Might the Atlantic Ocean Break? Two Sibling Scientists Found an Answerparent

Comments

Not an expert, but taking these side by side...it seems reasonable to conclude that AMOC is (as that source states) one of several factors?

Iceland, e.g., is warmer than Alaska, and that might change. Northern Europe in general is warmer than the PNW, despite the North Atlantic being smaller (and thus less buffering) than the North Pacific.

Seems unreasonable to expect the UK to end up like Newfoundland, or Labrador, if the AMOC shuts off, but "colder" seems in the cards.

Of course, all of this is completely armchair on my part.
