As the Earth warms, polar icecaps melt, releasing large numbers of icebergs into oceans. Warm ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream are disrupted by additional freshwater input into oceans. Reduced transfer of energy to the poles reduces temperature at high altitudes. Ice sheets reform and icebergs retreat. Warm currents are re-established.
