At first I thought you were referring to the human circulatory system!

The Walker circulation or Thermohaline circulation is where cold, dense, salty water sinks in the arctic and Antarctic. This water flows along the sea floor, moving towards the poles. Warmer water from the equator then replaces this.

In terms of global warming, more ice is melting in the summer. Icebergs don't contain as much salt, and do they dilute the oceans at both poles. This reduces the density of the water, meaning it doesn't sink as efficiently. This in turn can slow or even stop ocean flows such as The Gulf Stream. the circulation is very significant- research it online for more info.
