Fresh water melting from frozen areas and continents are reducing the salinity of the ocean and so causing the ocean currents to slow. The ocean currents drive the climate and bring cooler water from the polar regions to the equator and then the warmed equatorial water back up to the northern regions. When these currents slow or stop the arctic and antarctic areas will just continue to get colder and the equator will have no cooling waters. This cyclic breakdown could bring about climate changes and temperature drops and increases we never imagined.

Global warming really means adding energy into the atmosphere and land and water surfaces in different places and in increasing amounts. Since energy is motion or the potential for motion, this means that global warming really means change.

Higher energy in the upper atmosphere will shift the jet stream, and so patterns of monsoons and winter storms. Higher energy in the poles reduces the temperature differences between poles and equator and so slows the main ocean currents of the planet which causes colder temperatures in northern Europe and more turbulence in the atmosphere (hurricanes).

In actuality earth temperatures fluctuated because of a couple reasons. Global position in Solar Orbit, Solar activity.

Global Warming has become popular Liberal Mantra is caused by man.. Al Gore's schizophrenia seems to be a driving force in this myth. While his schizophrenia is not as strong as the solar influences, it seems to have large numbers of people deluded into thinking man influences global weather..

Yes the increase of water in the oceans would disrupt certain ocean currents that bring warm weather to certain areas of the world. This would actually cause a cooling.
