Experts have expressed the fear that melting polar ice pouring fresh water into the sea might upset the MOC mechanism.
This is because fresh water does not sink as easily as salt water, especially at cold temperatures. As a result less deep cold water flows back along the bottom of the conveyor, and the whole system slows down.
The new findings from British and US scientists, published in the journal Nature, show that the MOC has weakened by 30% since 1957.

I seem to recall that the 'climate scientists' predicted that we would have an ice-free North by 2013

From the Global Warming-obsessed BBC, 2007. We have, as yet, received no apologies from either the BBC or the other Warmists for being so laughably wrong - "In the end, it will just melt away quite suddenly" - and so disturbingly alarmist:



And that's not all:

James Hansen : ‘This is the last chance’
6/23/2008

“We see a tipping point occurring right before our eyes,” Hansen told the AP before the luncheon. “The Arctic is the first tipping point and it’s occurring exactly the way we said it would.”
Hansen, echoing work by other scientists, said that in five to 10 years, the Arctic will be free of sea ice in the summer.

The alarming loss of sea ice which has grown worse each summer over the past several decades, has taken a sharp turn for the worse: this year the loss is right in the middle, the most resilient part of the ice cover. This could lead to a completely ice-free Arctic Ocean by September.
