it's cool

      What's happening right now is that the AMOC helps balance out heat between the high latitudes and the tropics, so if it stops, that heat just gets stuck at the equator. Which is bad for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Mexico City dries up, the Amazon flips to savanna, monster hurricanes for the gulf and Atlantic coasts. General meteorological chaos and anarchy.

        so what your saying is, global warming in the tempretzones is not real?

        also what is Meterological anarchy, is it when the weatherman says what the weather is going to be without consulting any data?

          Global warming is happening everywhere, it's just unevenly distributed. AMOC collapse represents a temporary disruption to the trend in a specific region, but the temperature is going up for western Europe now and it'll continue to rise from the dip, if/when it happens.

          "Meteorological anarchy" is just a joke referencing the fact that weather (especially extreme events) will get more erratic and harder to predict. Weather prediction works now because we have a lot of historical data to draw upon; it'll stop working once the underlying drivers of those historical weather patterns shift. No shade on human anarchists.
