There would be quite significant climatic changes.
It affects one of the major phenomena in the ocean , the thermohaline circulation of the ocean which is responsible for the supply of heat to the polar areas.
Heat distribution is affected in such a way that keeps the warm water of the equatorial region remains in the same region and can not delivered to the polar areas.
This phenomena results in more heat in the equatorial region and colder polar areas.
