That’s pretty pedantic. If AMOC stops supplying heat, of course Western Europe will get colder. We don’t know exactly by how much or what other effects are in play by then, but it stands to reason Western Europe will get much colder than if they still had AMOC
It doesn’t stand to reason, the climate is too complex to make such assumptions. The only thing you know is AMOC won’t add heat, but that will change all kind of climate conditions as temperature impact climate significantly, so it isn’t confidently known what exactly will happen, overall.

Would the area AMOC pumps heats from also get hotter? Given their hot water won’t be pulled to a colder location, get cooled and come back down.
I assume it’s a double whammy
