    Yeah currently, but if the Gulfstream slows down Europe could get colder by earth getting hotter.

      Favorite fun fact, the people of Paris live farther north than about seventy percent of all Canadians. Without the ocean currents that are currently slowing down, well suffice to say that even southern Canada is not known for its mild winters full of cool rain.

      Climate change is not scary because the temp is two or three degrees warmer than it was for our parents, but becuse we can expect far more energetic and inconsistent weather all over the place, making farming and building more difficult and dangerous. That temp change is not evenly distributed, and indeed one of the effects of climate change is that parts of the earth are actually getting colder than they were at preindustrial carbon levels.
