The oceans have stayed at about 3% salt for hundreds of millions of years. The seas are salty but don’t get any saltier.
They do get more acidic, though.
Glaciers and polar ice are melting, they are getting less salty.
@Call Me Jay it’s weirdly more complicated than that. Salination falls and flows in strata in the ocean. It doesn’t mix up and become as uniform a solution as one might first think.
Long time I think.
Global warming will keep it at bay for awhile,
with the melting away of the ice caps.
But who knows, with all of the radioactive stuff from some reactors,
there are changes happening that we still aren’t aware of.
