        I think that what SpaceNoodle is trying to say is that the decrease in ocean salinity is correlated to a decrease in fresh water, so even though salinity is dropping, adaptations need to be made because we will run out of fresh water.

        I literally already said the answer to that in my original comment.

        Uhh, no you didn’t? At least, not the way I interpret it.

        It looks like you were saying “oceans are getting less salty, and therefore this adaptation is less needed”. But @[email protected] was saying “the reason they’re getting less salty is because fresh water is becoming more scarce, and therefore the adaptations are more needed”.
