Which outcome increases when glacial melt disrupts NADW?

💡 Explanation

Reduced glacial melt decreases the rate of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation because decreased density suppresses convective overturning, leading to density stratification and less salty water dispersing; therefore, ocean salinity declines, rather than localized warming.
