Melting glaciers is where tbe drop in salinity comes from, thereby giving us freshening waters in a warming trend.
Remember that glaciers play this ice accumulation and shrinkage game every year, and it's the long term trend in this plus and minus tbat is important.

Melting glaciers is where tbe drop in salinity comes from
Couple of questions.
(1) Is the decline of the WAIS (Western Antarctic Ice Sheet) actually attributed to "melting"?
(2) Are you familiar with the EAIS?
(3) Are you familiar with status of EAIS ice content and its comparative importance to the WAIS?
(4) Can you cite rationale for salinity changes based on EAIS vs WAIS changes?
(5) In fact can you cite any data at all, scientifically explicative of actual measured salinity decline as causative of actual measured Antarctic sea ice growth?
Before you engage an argument (or buy into it) it is important to know the facts.
