That *is* global warming though Pen.
The change in the salinity content is due to the melting arctic ice, (especially the greenland sheet.) Because of global warming, the ice will continue to melt until it is mostly gone, with most predictions placing that event within our lifetimes.

Surely that would only be true if it was a lowering of the salinity content causing the hurricanes? Melt all that ice, it dilutes the salt more, so salinity content would be lowered. But what that article says is that the salinity content is higher. Now, I'm only an armchair scientist, but your argument seems flawed (unless the melting ice has a high salt content, higher than the "general" seas, thus causing a noticeable increase), because what's happening to salinity and what would be expected to happen from greater volumes of water from the melting ice caps, isn't what's happening.
Confused? I know I am
