dense water near the poles sinks, creating a current towards the equator. What would you expect to happen to this current if temperatures at the pole s increased

The increased temperature causes the water to be less dense because the extra heat energy causes the water molecules to spread out more as the molecules have more kinetic energy. Therefore, the current would become weaker because there is less dense water sinking to create this current.
