Harry and Keith, A somewhat scarier scenario is that the warm currents that flow past Europe from the south Atlantic exist because of the temperature differential and a mere change in ambient water temperatures in the north could cause those currents to stop. Europe is farther north than the US and the result would be to drop temperatures in western Europe significantly.
