Northern Europe and West Africa are warmed by the Gulf Stream. See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:
Because the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift, two warm water currents, bring warm water to Western Europe.

The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio Current are both warm ocean currents that primarily flow away from the equator. The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico across the North Atlantic Ocean, while the Kuroshio Current flows along the eastern coast of Japan.
The United States and Cuba.
Probably because we're surrounded by water. Water has varying effects on prevailing weather. Additionally, most of our weather comes across the Atlantic ocean - and is usually the remnants of caribbean hurricanes.
A Scot might think that two or three degrees of warming might be welcome, but actually one possible climate change might be the cooling or ending of the Gulf Stream that brings warm water to the UK from the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf Stream keeps Britain much warmer than similar latitudes in Canada, for example. Scotland might be in for an extended cold spell.
The two main ocean currents that affect Prince Edward Island (PEI) are the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current. The Gulf Stream brings warm water from the south, influencing PEI's climate and biodiversity. The Labrador Current, on the other hand, brings colder water from the north, impacting sea temperatures and marine life in the region.
The Gulf stream would make Norway hotter.
The Gulf Stream and the California current are the two ocean currents that affect North America. The California current originates in the Pacific Ocean, while the Gulf Stream originates in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Gulf Stream is a powerful and warm Atlantic Ocean current that originates at the Tip of Florida and going along the East coast of America. It then splits in two, some of it going to Europe, and some of it going to West Africa and recirculating back. The global conveyor belt is the one current that goes around the seas and oceans, splitting up and joining up in different places around the world.
It is unlikely, at least for the immediate future. When there are so many variables involved, it is very difficult to predict. Wind and gulf currents are important factors which do not remain constant. To enter the gulf stream, it must first enter the loop current. So far, the oil spill has not entered the loop current, at least in noticeable quantities. The longer oil stays in the gulf, the better as natural forces will degrade and disperse the oil.
