ELI5 I know what the gulf stream is, but what will that do to civilization?
Mass exodus. Mass famine. Water shortages. Resource wars. Lost technology.
Typical apocalypse stuff.
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

As long as we're being pedantic, I take issue with your "never."
