Last time that much fresh water got dumped in the Atlantic ocean (when the glacier over north america melted) it resulted in an ice age over Europe... So... Good luck guys 👍

Western Europe in particular benefits from being warmer than its latitude would suggest due to Atlantic Ocean currents.

These currents are literally a coin toss away from breaking down, and it’s getting worse every year. Climate scientists are in unanimous agreement that the collapse is coming, and faster than a geologic timescale.

If (when) this happens, European countries will look more like Siberia than the Mediterranean.

Humanity is already dead. The time for drastic action was 30 years ago. We’re just talking corpses.
