Yes, that's the way it works. The melting of the icecap (they say) dilutes the cold, salty arctic water so that it does not sink and flow south from the arctic circle. This is the force that ultimately propels the Gulf Stream across the Atlantic. The fresher water in the northern Atlantic blocks the Gulf Stream, which for thousands of years has kept England, France, and the Scandinavian countries from freezing solid the way other areas do at that latitude. So paradoxically, global warming elsewhere shuts off the local warming of western Europe and England. Now that's the argument. Just stick around a couple of hundred years and see if it's correct. <G> If you do a Google search for --well, here you go--a bunch of links and other stuff-- google.com
