Fed it into bing-ai and basically said either Day After Tomorrow or Interstellar, or a bit of both. I mean, its definitely NOT good.

My biggest concern is the AMOC collapsing, everything I've read about that says its gonna be a rough weekend when that happens.

From Bing Chat:

A warmer and lighter Gulf Stream could affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is a large-scale system of ocean currents that transports heat and nutrients around the globe. A slowdown or collapse of this circulation could have drastic effects on regional and global climate, such as cooling Europe, altering rainfall patterns, and changing ocean productivity2.

A closer Gulf Stream could alter the coastal ocean dynamics and ecosystems along the East Coast of the United States. It could increase coastal erosion, flooding, and storm surges by raising sea level and intensifying waves3. It could also affect marine life by changing water temperature, salinity, and nutrient availability. Some species could benefit from warmer waters, while others could face habitat loss or competition from invasive species4.

A changing Gulf Stream could also influence the weather and climate of both North America and Europe. It could modify the jet stream, which is a band of fast-moving air that steers weather systems across the continents. A weaker or more variable jet stream could lead to more extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods, and storms2. It could also affect the paths and intensity of hurricanes, which draw energy from the warm water of the Gulf Stream5.

That sounds about like what I was expecting :(
