No, But the melting ice up north is whats causing it. Europe is in for
another ice age.

Joe,

Wouldn't the increase melting increase the flow? I don't know? I was
under the impression that the Melt created the flow?

The salinity of the water makes it plunge up north and power the
current.

All the fresh melt is slowing the engine(plunge) of the world current.

Read it somewhere a year or so ago. Very interesting maps of the worlds
currents. I'll see if I can find a link.

History Channel just aired a show about the ''Mini Ice Age''.
Some scientists think the lowering of salinity , by the melting
ice, was the cause.

Sometime in the recent past, there was an event that was generally called
the "great salinity anomoly" in the North Atlantic. There was a large patch
of lower salinity water that the scientists were at a loss to explain. I
don't remember exactly when it was, but I don't think it was more than 10
years ago.

Ok, I did some checking. It was noted in 1969, and persisted for several
years.

Caused by UFO's in their secret base in the
Bermuda Triangle.

Here you go Thom,

This guy explaines it pretty well
