Just what I needed to hear. I would have rejected any other answer anyway. So I can happily go back to sleep now.

That all depends on where you live, and how ocean currents change. But perhaps actually. Not likely though. We had a super cold year here where I'm at, not as bad as in the 80s but we had like 4 polar inversions hit us, it got down to 33 degrees one morning in late august in a couple of weeks of cold weather, and we got a hard snowy cold winter. It's still fucking cold, but that is normal here.

But europe might get hosed if that ocean currents change, they are way far north, if not for the warm carribean waters circulating up there they could be like ice ageing it. There is no way to know obviously, except that it will happen faster than expected.
