I will never stop to amaze me how far to the south the USA is compared to Europe on average. I live near Berlin and even most Canadians live further to the south than me.

Europe is uniquely hot for how far North it is. It's due to Gulf Stream and we might lose it at some point as the climate change progresses.

The West coast is much more similar though. Paris is at a latitude between Seattle and Vancouver while San Francisco is a little south of Lisbon. Both have pretty comparable climates.

In contrast, it will never amaze me how far north Europe is. Canada weather is cold and yet y'all live even further north!

Gulf Stream.

AMOC collapse will be brutal.
