It won't stop

Explanation:

Some scientists have simulated what would happen if the thermohaline circulation (THC) were to stop, but what they found was that it would never really stop, it would only lose efficiency.

But check out this blog post , it explains the THC and talks a bit about the simulations scientists ran to answer this question.

In short, if it were to stop, we would see changes in global temperatures but it's a complicated system and a big question!
