    and if the AMOC goes, the mean temp in Europe drops 17 C

    btw do you have a source/citation for this? Like that it would be specifically that amount?

      I'm not aware of anything saying that drastic of a swing for the majority of Europe, however there are some countries that could experience a swing of that magnitude in just a few years. It's difficult to say what exactly will happen when the AMOC collapses, and there's a chance global warming outpaces the cooling from it in some of Europe
