See [amocscenarios.org](https://amocscenarios.org/) for various modeled scenarios on what the future could look like with a collapsed AMOC.

Sweden, Finland, Norway would not be hit too badly. Summers will still be warmer, but shorter. Winters longer but about as cold.

The worst effects will be for the UK and specifically Scotland. Their climate wil change to look more like Finlands or Swedens. I.e. proper winters with pretty deep cold spells. This will be a complete disaster as buildings and general infrastrucure will not be able to handle it. There'll be massive issues from frost heave, buildings that are not insulated enough, heating systems specced too small to properly heat houses and so forth.

An AMOC collapse will be very bad, but not quite the Day Afer Tomorrow as some think it would be.

On the cooling side. The worst general effects will hit the Caribbean, Africa, India and Southeast Asia.

(Also the northern Rockies will get slightly better ski seasons?)

Has that site been /slashdotted by HN? It's really buggy for me.
