Projected Thermohaline Circulation
		q Most models show weakening of the ocean thermohaline circulation which leads to a reduction of the heat transport into high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. q The current projections using climate models do not exhibit a complete shut-down of the thermohaline circulation by 2100. q Beyond 2100, the thermohaline circulation could completely, and possibly irreversibly, shut-down in either hemisphere if the change in radiative forcing is large enough and applied long enough. scenarios.
