England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland would look more like Northern Canada. There'd be a huge increase in winter storms right across Europe and significantly less precipitation in Western Europe. This has a huge knock-on effect to things like agriculture in places like France or even in Great Britain. It'd be a bit like trying to grow potatoes in Northern Norway. It just wouldn't work.

However, Europe is not the only region to be affected. The sea level in the Atlantic Ocean could rise as much as 70 centimetres, submerging many coastal cities around the world. There would be densely populated places on Earth right now where people simply could not live. Scientists also predict a shift of the tropical rainfall belt to the south.

This is bad news because the rains move away from the rainforest and go to regions that are not used to so much rainfall. This would mean droughts in some regions and floods in others. Rainfall in the Amazon rainforest would undergo a drastic change. There'd also be less rain in the Sahal and a weakening of the summer monsoon in Asia.

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.
