One other factor here is increased evaporation at the equator which has increased the salanity of

Conceptually, it's hard to see how the Gulf Stream western boundary current could be weakened by conditions around Greenland; this is a fluid dynamics system, not a mechanical «belt»; a backup due to less deep
water formation should have little effect on the physics of the gyre and the formation of the western boundary current, and it also seems the
tropical warming and the resulting equator - to - pole
heat transport are the drivers — but perhaps modulation by jet stream meandering is playing some role in the cooling?
It also, possibly, would diminish the Greenland effect Stefan refers to because
tropical heat moved to the deep
water is unavailable to move towards either pole, where it causes melting.

That's why I used the expression «represents a serious potential threat to humanity and our environment» (temperature increase by 2100 of up to 6.4 C, increased droughts, floods,
tropical cyclones,
heat waves, extreme high sea level plus secondary effects, such as crop failures, spread of vector diseases, loss of drinking
water from melting glaciers, etc. all as listed in IPCC AR4).
That process releases warm
water from below the surface of the PWP, shifts it to the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, releases
heat there through evaporation, which causes changes in atmospheric circulation, in turn causing SST outside of the
tropical Pacific to vary.
Which forms the basis for the IPCC claim of high climate sensitivity (mean value of 3.2 C), resulting in significant global warming (up to 6.4 C warming by 2100), «extreme high sea levels», increased «
heat waves», increased «heavy rains» and floods, increased «droughts», increased «intense
tropical cyclones» — which, in turn, lead to crop failures, disappearance of glaciers now supplying drinking
water to millions, increased vector borne diseases, etc. (for short, potentially catastrophic AGW — or «CAGW»).
