A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water "conveyor belt" in the Atlantic is slowing down
I’m guessing the water at the poles was already close to freezing temperatures.
So it isn’t affected by melting ice.
But at latitudes affected by the warm Gulf Stream, melting ice is colder than the surrounding water, so it would cool it down.
