The paper examines the effects of the global warming on the temperature and density of the Polar waters and the outcomes of this process. The causes of the anomalously warm Western European climate are explained by the circulation of water within the oceans known as thermohaline circulation (THC) arguing whether the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) of the Atlantic Ocean will slow down during the 21st century.
