As the oil goes north, which it will do. And it passes into the northern seas. It will disperse salt water and fresh water, mixing them together and making it so the northern oceans don't freeze. All because of weight. This will slow down the circulation of salt water, which is bad.

Something like 8k years ago, fresh water was introduced into the currents when an ice bridge broke (very quickly) currents slowed down, salt and fresh water was displaced, etc.. The result, well... like 1300 years of freezing temperatures, no summers, no seasons from about Mexico north.
