I always forget how far north a lot of Europe is. The fact Dublin is further north than most Canadian major cities throws me for a loop

    Yeah it's one of those weird map oddities that's more noticeable on a globe.

    We are mega fucked here if the gulf of Mexico ever stops sending us that warm water goodness.

    It's actually the Atlantic Ocean arm of the Oceanic Conveyor Belt bringing to Europe warm waters from Africa.

    The only relation with the Gulf Of Mexico is that the western side of that current (which goes in the opposite direction, so North -> South, along the Eastern Northern and Southern America) passes alongside it.

    Literally the plot of "The Day after Tomorrow" although the movie is ridiculously over the top of course
