I've been reading up on the inevitable collapse of the AMOC (the potsdam institute has a number of really good videos covering the subject).

Everyone hears 'winters will be up to 10C cooler', but few realize that this will also cause the jet stream to be more wavy, and exacerbate the number of heat waves as well.

Sad that europe's mild climate is about to get a whole lot worse...

I do not think a collapse is inevitable, see:
