The Thermohaline Circulation plays a critical role in our climate system. In this circulation, Atlantic surface water moves northward through the tropics and because of evaporation becomes saltier and therefore denser. This dense and salty water cools as it moves northward and sinks along the northern edge of the Atlantic. There is evidence that Greenland ice sheet is melting. How would this process affect the Thermohaline Circulation?
