This is turn will divert the gulf stream (from which most of Europe gets a significant amount of heat) further south, and Europe will cool down. This will result in greater snow fall in Europe. Snow, if you haven't noticed  is white, and reflects the sun's radiant energy, so Europe will cool down even more. Eventually this may be enough to start a global ice age...
