I'd be surprised if the gulf stream conks out. Vast melting happened after the last ice age and it didn't stop the flow, so a piffling bit of flow from Greenland etc isn't going to do it either."

Unfortunately, the gulf stream did shut down after the last Ice Age according to ocean floor cores.

If you want the URL's you will have to google then your self, I didn't record them, only read them. And, I am to darned lazy to find them again.

There was a partial shutdown around 900-1200 AD as I remember, and a slackening during Europe's mini ice age, 300 years ago.
