| 3. If it were only the Arctic ice cap, you would be correct. |

But if the warming of the Arctic Ocean melts Greenland, that's when the trouble really begins. But there's more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation">The Thermohaline Circulation, also known as the "Ocean Conveyor Belt". If this circulation is interupted, Greenland could become as temperate as Europe is now and Europe could freeze over. The dilution of the freshwater from the Arctic ice cap into the surrounding seawater could also be a catalyst for disrupting the circulation.  |
