"Highlighting the belief of one man"
Highlighting the belief of one man... of ONE MAN! What part of that don't you understand? ONE MAN! In the face of tons of opposition.
"But the addition of huge volumes of
fresh water could disrupt the Atlantic Ocean conveyor system that
brings warm currents from the southern tropics to the north."
Hello? This is part of why this problem is so serious! The melting of the polar ice caps would raise ocean levels to the point that most of the coastal states would be flooded. In otherwords, California and such will become uninhabitable.

Notice the keyword... *could* disrupt.. Not *will * disrupt, but *could* disrupt. In otherwords, this is entirely speculation.
So basically what you just quoted is a scientist who admits that global warming exists, but suggests that if it should happen that atlantic currents are disrupted enough, then the problem *might* fix itself. There is a lot of speculation here and a lot of "ifs" and "mights".
Like I said before, I don't think that is a gamble worth taking. What if this speculation is wrong?
