Scientists at the University of Exeter and the Met Office say changes to North Atlantic winds could batter the UK with cold snaps, floods, and storms by 2100 .
They point to the North Atlantic Oscillation ( NAO ) a natural and temporary cooling and warming over parts of Europe and North Atlantic ocean.
NAO acts like a giant meteorological 'see-saw' in North Atlantic .
It has two states positive and negative which both bring very different weather to Europe .
A negative NAO can mean a big freeze, like the one of 2009-10 that caused transport chaos in Britain and blamed for 90 deaths in Europe .
In the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow , New York City’s temperature dramatically dropped to a point that a deep freeze appeared within a day .
Scientists say the film plays up the shift, which would take decades to see, but note temperatures would dramatically decrease along the eastern US coast.
Winters would become colder and storms more frequent that would linger longer throughout the year if the AMOC stopped today .
