As the northern hemisphere cools, the southern hemisphere will become increasingly warmer. The heat from the Pacific Ocean will not be transported to the North Atlantic and instead it ends up staying in the tropics, causing dramatic temperature increases there.

it will also reduce the carbon uptake of the ocean because the AMOC sinking in the Northern Atlantic takes a lot of carbon down into the ocean depths where it's safely locked away from the atmosphere. And the last thing we need right now is more carbon in our atmosphere.

Despite all that we've talked about, there are some people who might suggest actually parts of the world cooling might not be such a bad thing, considering all we hear about is the Earth getting warmer. Maybe an Amok collapse might counteract that. The truth is, there is nowhere I can think of that would be better off. In fact, it's the opposite.

If it were just a case of averages, then somewhere like Germany might see a balance just because of where it's positioned. But weather is not a climate average. It's seasonal and highly variable. Within the average, you can get warm air from the south or cold polar air outbreaks from the north.

These contrasts will just be more pronounced if Scandinavia and Britain cool while Spain and Italy warm, for example. This will drive much greater variability in the weather, and that's bad for agriculture. It causes more storms. There'd be more major extreme weather events the kind we haven't seen before. You get the idea.

Continuing this trail of thought, some scientists have suggested an AMOC collapse may temporarily delay some of the issues the Amazon is currently facing, if coupled with the effects of global warming. In the initial phases of an AMOC slowdown, so greater rainfall and lower temperatures in the Amazon,

That could partially offset temperature-driven stresses that the rainforest vegetation experiences. This could delay the potential for the Amazon to transition into a savannah-like state. It's important to note this would only be a temporary amount of time and also depends on the relative timing between an AMOC collapse and global warming.
