Yeah, and the North Atlantic Ocean circulation which is what triggered the whole disaster in the movie, is also starting to slow down and could completely stop this century. While the movie completely blew everything out of proportion such as Hollywood likes to do for entertainment, it still means we are going to get more and more severe weather randomly.

It's the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC for short). Not just the North, the whole ocean.
