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 πŸ‘

Phew. Glad I'm not in Europe

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.

My thoughts exactly. As a non-European, it sounds like the appropriate response is to drive my Chevvy Suburban 5 miles on the highway for 30 minutes to work in near standstill traffic.

I'll just be over here with my pickup truck acting as my lights and music while I hang out in the front yard.

I'm ok with colder temperatures. Maybe the tourists will fuck off. (I live in a tourist trap in the Arctic)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Norway, very little of Iceland is in the Arctic.
