This cold water dilution affects the flow of warm ocean currents over certain regions. This is proven by a study of the North Atlantic that reflects the reduction of the Gulf Stream current by about 30%. Thus, climate change causes alteration of the ocean currents which in turn affects the climate.

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
