1/100 of 1% of the world's oceans is a cube 32 miles on each side [0]. This volume of salt would weigh 317 billion tons [1]. World commercial production is .2

1/100 of 1% of the world's oceans is a cube 32 miles on each side [0]. This volume of salt would weigh 317 billion tons [1]. World commercial production is .25 billion tons of salt [2]. So, to raise salinity by .01%, we'd need 1268 years of normal production (plus some when you exclude sea-water extraction).
