You're halfway there! If the oceans are getting less salty, where else's the extra water coming from?

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

    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.

    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 @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world was saying "the reason they're getting less salty is because fresh water is becoming more scarce, and therefore the adaptations are more needed".
