What is the difference between Thermo-Haline Circulation and the Gulf Stream?
The Gulf Stream is a warm-water current that flows past Florida up to Europe, keeping the temperatures in Europe fairly temperate. The thermo-haline circulation of which you speak is a physical phenomenon in which cold, heavily saline water in high northern climates (like the Arctic) sinks to the bottom of the ocean and heads for the equator, driving deep-ocean currents which regulates planetary weather.
