I dont have time to write a long winded response with references etc..
First off: I'm not a climatologist, when I write stuff here, its off the cuff stuff I know, but am not an expert in.
Best example I can give you off the top of my head:

IF the gulf stream slows down; i.e due to increased freshwater input into the NW atlantic, (i.e melting the ice caps). When this happens, the denisty contrast that allows the gulf stream to 'run'; then the warm water than heats western europe would slow or stop. This would make for colder conditions in Europe while the rest of the planet is getting warmer. There are alot of other effects of this as well.
