I think the cold weather most of Europe and North America is getting/just got is the remnants of the polar cell shattering and flying off, so that's cool and good and will probably end with the entire Arctic even more on fire than it already is

isn't it uncontroversial at this point to say the polar vortex is deteriorating and will cool Europe while melting the ice caps

here's a lovely stat from a ten day old article I just got around to reading - that day the water off nome ak in the Arctic ocean was hotter than the water off San Fransisco in the Pacific (60 vs 56). cool and good

Also the gulf stream may eventually stop, cooling Europe significantly while the avg temp of the planet still rises.

the gulf stream weakening is also supposed to impact the trade winds which is apparently gonna turn the midwest into a frozen moonscape and make the UK uninhabitable

wouldn't the gulf stream shutting down increase the amount of energy in the gulf air that makes it up to the midwest and causes all that rain when it meets cold canadian air?

this is false because it's not physically possible to have colder winters than the midwest does. temperatures scales don't go that low. nice try though

Equable climate won't be relief, the last time it happened we had palm trees and 'gators as far as the north pole and the average surface temperature of the ocean was like 35C / 95F everywhere. It'll be perma-heatwave.

Without the gulf stream and trade winds, the globe will lose most of its temperate season cycles. For northern, sub-arctic latitudes like the UK and the Midwest, this means we'll just be cold all year long with sleet or slush or mud when we're not frozen solid. For sub-tropical latitudes it'll just be hot all year long but somewhat less hot during the winter. There will remain some seasonal variation, but not nearly as much as today. The hotter temperatures will creep toward the poles as runaway global warming continues until eventually it's hot everywhere and we have alligators at the poles again. The end, no moral.

Ah, but that's where you're wrong. Since all that pesky ice is melting away to reveal productive earth, Greenland is the rare place that is existing even more.

i bet the glaciers melting in ten years instead of ten thousand will affect topsoil creation
