Before I started my current company, I was a principal in an environmnental consulting firm, Environmental Resources Group, that did, among other things, state-of-the-art air quality computer modeling, with emhpasis on modeling of photochemical smog, its precursor interaction, and its impact on urban airsheds. I sold this company to Jacobs Engineering in Pasadena. It evolved into Jacobs' environmental group, which, at one point, employed over 1,000 scientists and engineers worldwide. This guy wouldn't know an expert if one bit him in the nose.

For what I understood, one of the effects of the melting ice caps, would be the decrease in the salinity levels of the oceans water, therefore reducing its density. With this phenomenon, Northboud oceanic currents will not sink to the bottom, and flow back southbound; therefore slowing down or even stopping the "conveyor belt" effect that generates most of the planet's climates.
The irony is that such an event will potentially cause a new ice age.

an inconvenient truth, good film to educate yourself with.
