Its pretty obvious that it will become colder but would this change to colder conditions be restricted to winter or would it equally effect summer temps?
My guess is that winters throughout Europe would be only slightly colder and longer but this would be enough to make Ireland for example much snowier than at present... but I may be wrong.
Well Owenc would get about the amount of snow he likes to tell everybody he gets already. Buxton would be a truly subarctic hell hole. It wouldn't do us any favours that's for sure. More profiteering from the greedy gas companies too.
In the thread someone found some sort of a scientific study in which they found that the Gulf Stream warms up Europe less than people think. There are other factors including the Rocky Mountains forcing cold air into eastern Canada/US which makes them alot colder than Europe or something like that.

Makes sense. To the west of the Eastern North America is cold, dry, continental air while to the west of Western Europe is the Atlantic. The moderateness of places like Northern Ireland clearly shows that, though it still can get respectably cold at times (though not relative to latitude).

In the thread people were comparing places on the west coast of North America with Europe. What they were finding is that there's nowhere's off the west coast of North America which matches Britain lititude wise to compare temperatures. The closest they were finding are the Queen Charlotte Islands but even there there's a large size difference.
Look at prince rupert its only 2c colder than here. But they get much more snow.
I think probably -1-3c would be a common figure for the british isles. I wish there was a simulator or something. I think if sea temps were lower on the eastern atlantic that it would be even colder. But i can still see sea temps being 3/4c.
I try looking it up and it always says 4c. Does anybody know if there is like a map? Or even a table to show what the temps would be?
It'll probably be comparable to the exact same latitudes on the North American West Coast. Portugal will be like Northern California. Southern France will be like Oregon and Washington. London will be like Vancouver. Etc.
Probably similar temperatures for Europe as during the Ice Age a few centuries ago if the Gulf Stream shuts down. Noticeably colder? Yes. But not enough to drastically impact life there.
But london is already like vancouver thats the thing.
