something i dont hear discussed is 'salt levels'

we live on a planet with a huge covering of salt water.

i drive past large areas of salty land when i do shopping, bugga all grows there.

are we seening salt level rising inland?

is our river system becoming salty?

[martinw-48]

Yes and yes.
As more fresh ground water is drawn the underlying salt water table rises.
Unsympathetic farming practices increase the salt in the rivers

This is the sort of lunatic Attenborough was talking about. Note that Joyce says an ice age is due about now,give or take 1000 years. Moron.
