In the 1990's or very early 2000's. Whitley Streiber (the alien guy who wrote "Communion"), came out with a book called "The Coming Superstorm" as I recall. I think it was the basis for that apocalyptic movie "The Day After". He postulated that warming temperatures would melt polar ice, and the resulting fresh water would dilute the salinity in the North Atlantic, which in turn would halt the saline cycle of the Gulf Stream carrying warm tropical water north along the US coast, with consequently less warm water to assist the UK and western Europe in heating, resulting in a deep freeze of the northern hemisphere.
This sounds a lot like that book, in reverse - this theory appears to have the warm water running north along the western European coast and southward along the US east coast, resulting in a deep freeze starting in the US instead of Europe.
But the same basic idea.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
