Tuba says it's because global warming is decreasing the salinity.
So melting ice is responsible for freezing water?

changing the salinity changes the point at which water freezes. Changing the salinity also changes the density of water with the potential of disrupting global oceanic currents, changing how heat is distributed around the world. Warming can cause glaciers filled with fresh water to melt and dilute the salty oceans. Diluted oceans will have a higher freezing point, creating more salty oceanic ice.
