[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole Southern Hemisphere gets too hot and too dry so it is to be avoided.

Canada, North Central US and Europe get covered with ice between 5-10 years after the shutoff so all those places are to be avoided.

Coastal areas see a 1-meter increase in sea levels so all coastal areas are to be avoided.

What's left? Central Mexico, Higher elevation Communities in Northern South America, non-desertic places at higher elevation in Northern Africa, the Middle East and Asia. That's pretty much about it.

Now, AMOC has already lost between 10 and 50% of its strength and it isn't likely that we will be able to reverse that trend. At the contrary, the phenomenon is kind of feeding itself.

The more glaciers melt, the least salt water can make its way all the way up North, the more AMOC weakens and so on.

Some scientists say it will happen any time between 2025 and 300 years from now. Be prepared in case![/quote]

Why no mention of North America?  In notice in every article on this it talks about Europe getting colder, sea levels rising etc but never says what will happen to the temperature in North America.  Why is that?[/quote]

Because the changes will be minimal and around the edges so to speak.

2025 and 300 years from know is the same as saying we do not know what we are talking about.  That is why people do not believe the science.  I get it that this is what the data shows.  But the statement is off.  [/quote]
