As I understand, the continued and rapid melting of the Greenland icesheet is altering the salinity of the Atlantic Ocean which can lead to a "switching off" of the Gulf stream. It is only due to the presence of the Gulf stream that Europe is not subject to a climate similar to Siberia.Does anyone have any information about the time factors that are involved here; When is this switch likely to occur, and if/when it does how long is it until the effects will be apparent?I appreciate all of your answers. Thank you!Nick
