Deep oceans warming at an alarming rate

2. That can't be right.

Major ocean currents and the jet stream result in part from the Coriolis effect, so as long as the planet keeps rotating, they'll never fully stop. Even if temperatures get hotter, there will continue to be differences in solar input to polar and equatorial regions, also a major reason for polar/Hadley/Ferrel cells. Wind/water currents will never permanently "stall out," so all of the downstream effects you refer to are pretty much off the mark, too.

These grad students obviously needed to take a basic marine sciences course.
