That’s an overly optimistic way to look at it. The geological record shows there were glaciers in parts of France and Germany the last time th current shut down. (When it shut down due to CO2 induced global warming.)

Also, the temperature change was rapid: Somewhere between 50-100 years. If we’re in the same cycle, we’re more than a decade in already.

That was during an ice age, the global temperature was way lower in general. It wasn't caused by just the absence of the gulf stream

This isn't saying much. There are glaciers in parts of France and Germany now.
