Lots of melting ice will do that. Fresh water affects salinity, in addition to temperature. March 5, 2004: A Chilling Possibility By disturbing a massive ocean current, melting Arctic sea ice might trigger colder weather in Europe and North America. Some scientists believe this shift in ocean currents could come surprisingly soon--within as little as 20 years, according to Robert Gagosian, president and director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. science.nasa.gov

Nope. Actually, that cold blob is what could cause the thermohaline circulation to weaken. In other words, you are confusing cause and effect. It is the result of the accelerated melting of Greenland.

Very bad math. "Drijfhout said that if the planet persists to warm, ocean currents such as AMOC may weaken, creating giant tsunamis. In 20 years, if AMOC and global warming happens simultaneously, the planet would begin to cool rather than warm. As per estimates, a drop of about 1.3 degrees Fahrenheit or -17 degrees Celsius would transpire, after which, the recovery phase would start." What the paper concludes does not in any way support climate denialists if they would like to claim this study portends a global cooling
