Yes, but that doesn’t apply unilaterally, the east coast gets pretty harsh winters compared to the west. The west coast hardly gets snow. The east coast constantly gets multi foot snowfalls and -30c weather.

Even New York in the USA gets blanketed with snow frequently.

I think Boston is the more apt comparison to Europe . Yes it’s AMOC on the east coast. We’re also somewhat moderated by the coast. However further inland temperature swings are more severe because of prevailing winds crossing all that land

Either way, it’s not that Canada is further south than you’d expect but that Europe is much further north than their weather would have you believe. AMOC slowing or even stopping is going to be a problem. Someone pointed out food - if temperature trends move where food can be grown or even prevent it in some countries

The shallow, sunny Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are the main place for heat energy entering the system.

this shows about three times as much heat entering the system in the Gulf and Caribbean (~1.2 petawatts) than is brought from the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean (0.4PW).

I know I could google it, I was just prodding the folks who drop nothing but an acronym to provide a little more explanation in with their post than just some uncommon letter string. The other posts that explain it weren’t there at the time of my post.
