Salinity also has an affect on ocean currents. Near Iceland, if the ocean is not salty enough, the water can't get dense enough to sink. As global warming melts ice in places like greenland, the water gets fresher and sinks slower. this could slow or stop the gulfstream, or perhaps just redirect it.

as salinity is high in any region water move from that region to the region where salinity is lower and ocen currents produces so it might affect ocean currents in this way

I am not scientist...ok. I think that salty ocean protects its planet from the sun. I am not sure.
