As the Arctic sea ice melts, it lets out freshwater into the North Atlantic Ocean. This can mess with the ocean’s normal currents and might weaken the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is important because it brings warm water to Western Europe. If it gets weaker, it could make temperatures along the coast cooler.
"As Arctic sea ice melts, it releases freshwater into the North Atlantic, which can disrupt the ocean's natural circulation, potentially weakening the Gulf Stream that delivers warm water to Western Europe, leading to cooler temperatures along the coast." Aham rewrite this as an eight grader would please.
