Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The North Atlantic Drift, in contrast, is largely driven by thermohaline circulation. By carrying warm water northeast across the Atlantic, it makes Western Europe and especially Northern Europe warmer and milder than it otherwise would be.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Gulf Stream is nicknamed “Europe’s central heating", because it makes Europe’s climate warmer and wetter than it would otherwise be.
Detailed explanation-3: -Originating at the tip of Florida, the Gulf Stream is a warm and swift Atlantic Ocean current that follows the eastern coastline of the US and Canada before crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe. It ensures that the climate of Western Europe is much warmer than it would otherwise be.
