Isn't this one the one that when it's going we have livable temperatures in Europe and North America, but when it stops we get an ice age with glaciers and all that?

I wonder what the timeline is for something like that. Like how long between this current collapsing and glaciers making it to the great lakes?

Yes and no. It will have the greatest effect on the northern most counties like Sweden Finland Ireland, etc by at most 5-6C. France will be fine https://youtu.be/tnVWUIhQ8dE?si=3WHusDe8X3_Q35Ah

Gotcha like always I am told that there is a problem coming but no one knows when exactly or how bad it will be or what I should do when it happens.

Yeps, life is good.

Welcome to the real world. It's not a game and we don't know the answers. That's partly why religion exists

Ah right on, thanks for this video. Seems it was referring to the same thing I was thinking of but the sources for that other thing were wrong.
