What If Our Oceans Became FRESHWATER?

An ocean without salt would decimate marine life and affect our global temperature and weather dramatically, making human life on Earth incredibly complicated.
There are roughly 230,000 known marine species in the ocean and an estimated 2 million more that have yet to be discovered, but if the sea were to become desalinated, we’d likely never get the chance to find those new forms of life.
Along with marine animals, marine plant life would also be affected. Underwater algae account for almost half the photosynthesis occurring on this planet! With significantly less photosynthesis and extremely volatile climatic conditions, our world would no longer support the diverse plant life it has now. The food chain itself would collapse. Most species, including humans, would not survive for long.

The Great Lakes have currents, why would a desalinated ocean all of a sudden not have any?? I would think they would change In some way but still be there.
