Not really. The salt is going back into the ocean, where it came from. The gasses were releasing from the ground or somewhere else that is not the atmosphere.

You add salt but take out water, now imagine that on a worldwide scale over 200 years

Where do you think that water is going? It goes back into the water cycle and eventually the ocean. We cannot possibly remove enough water from the ocean to make a significant change. Where would we put it? The hydrogen made gets burned and turns back into water which returns to the water cycle as precipitation.

Also you're not adding salt, the salt came from the ocean in the first place.

Yes but doing it on an industrial scale will affect the salinity in the area where water is being discharged. It should balance out over time but cause issues in the areas.

It kills a lot of fish when you do it. Brine is super toxic locally if you just keep dumping it, messes up the waters salt level, ph, etc

We're not taking locally here. They claim we will change the ocean but it's basically a closed loop.
