Salt will increase the density of the water, increasing the amount of heat or can hold. It's unlikely there's a noticeable difference with just a few liters of water though. You probably noticed it because you noticed it.

That makes sense. I noticed a more intense amount of condensation around compared to before adding the salt. Which prompted me to check the pot. Same temp, but half had disappeared very quickly. Whereas before, it had been boiling away for at least twice as long.

So in relation to the sea levels.. do the icebergs have more salt in them or is there more salt in the atmosphere contributing to the heating.. OR.. none of this nonsense? 😅
