All these articles have been really clear that this would mean much colder climate in the UK/adjacent europe - and I keep finding the same quote that water levels would rise on the eastern shore of North America, but what does it mean climate wise for north america? I assume it would also be colder, but how much? I can't find anything that goes into it in my quick google.

has anybody seen more detail on that?

North America is big enough that we'll see different impacts in different parts. Alaska and northern Canada will probably warm more than the rest, the West will likely get dryer, etc.

Yes. I'm specifically curious about the eastern seaboard (which I guess I wasn't clear on), but I would assume any report on expected impacts would break it down by region because that wouldn't make sense otherwise.

That makes sense! I read your sentence as a distinction rather than a continuation, but now I see how you meant it.
