How can viscosity affect man?

If your talking about the ocean viscosity, then it can affect man a great deal. The more ice that melts, the more freshwater is released back into the oceans. Salt water is more dense than fresh water which creates changes in ocean currents and its behavior, as well as the creatures that live in it, many of which humans rely on for survival. Weather is also affected by ocean currents. Also many people ask if the ice that melts is just regular salt water which in turn would not affect the density of the ocean water. But when water freezes, ice's crystalline structure pushes impurities out.
