The scenario I've read about is that the melting glaciers will dilute the salinity of key ocean areas, especially around Greenland, which will change the underground rivers (they've only been discovered in the last 20 years or so) that feed the oceans, thereby cooling the Gulf Stream and other major currents. Once the ocean currents cool, especially the Gulf Stream, the moderate temperatures experienced by Europe will begin to cool. The Gulf Stream explains why areas that are on the same latitude have vastly different climates. I have read that some islands in the Philippines are now under water from rising sea levels (I posted on that). Venus is an example of a planet with runaway greenhouse effect.
