So how do you recover the fresh water? I mean we can turn sea water into drinking water, it just uses a lot of energy and makes the water expensive.

Hidden reservoir of fresh water found miles beneath the ocean floor
An international team of scientists is exploring a vast reservoir of fresh water beneath the Atlantic Ocean.
Even if the aquifer proves vast and relatively fresh, turning a hidden offshore reservoir into a dependable municipal supply is a long road.
Engineers would need to design wells that operate safely beneath the seabed, transport water ashore, and control pumping to avoid drawing in saltwater or collapsing sediments.
There would also be a need for ecologists to assess how extraction might alter pressure gradients, seafloor habitats, and onshore springs.
Lawyers and policymakers would need to answer thorny questions about ownership and rights: Who controls water beneath federal waters? What about state waters? How do indigenous, fishing, and coastal communities fit into the decision-making? And who bears the cost, and the risk?
The scientists on Liftboat Robert aren’t weighing in on those choices yet. Their job is to deliver a definitive map and a clean set of measurements: salinity profiles, chemical fingerprints, isotopic ages, permeability data, and the architecture of the sediments themselves.

Not that this was in doubt, but in his U.N. address, Trump made it clear that he is an enemy of life on Earth. That’s as unenlightened as it gets. Trump stands against life on Earth, and against future generations of the human race. It seems like the use of fossil fuels is increasing, and I personally have little to no expectation of avoiding the consequences of a warming planet. But, in Trump, we have perhaps the most unenlightened and ignorant leader in the entire world. And, in using much of his speech to lecture Europe on its immigration policies, he does so having no idea how global warming is going to affect human migration. We have seen nothing yet, where the movement of people over the course of this century is concerned, from climate change alone. If humanity has a future, Trump will be remembered as one of the truly most evil men alive in our own lifetimes.
Really, this is astonishing. The most powerful man in the world stands firmly against all life on Earth.

Recently published charts that no climate change denialist has been able to explain away. Basically, representing proof that global warning is increasing, with 38% of land heat records being recorded in this decade, a decade that is only half over.
www.onegreenplanet.org
Look at what these charts are telling us. Again, this is scientific info that climate change denialists, including Trump in his recent U.N. address, cannot deny.
Look at the land that has experienced the highest temperatures just in most recent decades. The trend is clear, and these charts and graphs blow any and all climate change denialists out of the water.
From NASA.
Short video explains this info. Again, climate change denialists are unable to handle this truth:
Of course, Trump recently doubled down on his “climate change is the biggest scam in history” BS. Making him someone committing crimes against humanity. Because, playing ostrich is the worst possible response to what all those charts and graphs I’ve posted indicate. Denying global warming and urging more fossil fuel extraction represents: a crime against the human race, a crime against all life on Earth. In the long run, this alone should identify Donald Trump as one of the most evil men of the 21st century.

Having now conclusively proven that global warming is very real, and getting worse with each passing decade, we can now say we have reached the first breach of a global climate tipping point: the end of warm water coral reefs on Earth.
Here are the global climate tipping points:
And here is the bad news:
www.sciencealert.com
It's official: we no longer live on a planet with temperatures that can sustain warm-water coral reefs.
This is the first of many fragile Earth systems set to topple as human activities continue to stoke our planet's fever, the 2025 Global Tipping Points Report warns.
Mass reef dieback occurs at an estimated 1.2 °C warming above preindustrial averages, a point the report – involving 160 scientists across 23 countries – confirms we're well beyond.
"I recognize that engaging with tipping points and talking about these risks is emotionally challenging," University of Oslo sociologist Manjana Milkoreit, who contributed to the report, told ScienceAlert. "Maybe the most important but also most difficult thing anybody can do is not to turn away and ignore this problem."
Earth's most vibrant underwater gardens, from the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to Florida's Sombrero Reef, are being annihilated by human-caused global warming. Four global coral bleaching events have now been recorded, with two of these occurring in the last decade. In this time, the Great Barrier Reef alone bleached in 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025.
“Current policies are going to likely result in 2.5 – 3 °C warming later this century, risking crossing many irreversible climate tipping points," says Lenton, explaining the next Earth system 'domino' set to topple could be the collapse of part of the West Antarctic ice sheet or the Greenland ice sheet.
"These would accelerate sea level rise in the short term and commit us to multiple meters of sea level rise in the long term."
The report points out that corals are merely the canary in a coal mine. With each fraction of a degree of increased warming, more of Earth's life-sustaining systems will be pushed to the point where they collapse.
"This grim situation must be a wake-up call that, unless we act decisively now, we will also lose the Amazon rainforest, the ice sheets and vital ocean currents," explains WWF-UK chief scientist Mike Barrett. "In that scenario, we would be looking at a truly catastrophic outcome for all humanity."
While there is still uncertainty about the upper limits (the point of no return) of these tipping points, these details do not change the fact that people are already dying as a consequence of climate change, nor do they redirect the actions we can still take to save countless future lives.

Horrifying. I believe Trump is the most damaging person to the human condition in the history of the world, for many reasons, exacerbating climate change ending up possibly being the worst one. But his effect on making civilization less civilized will probably be reason number two when looked back upon by history. He hasn't had his Hitler moment of extinguishing millions of humans yet but I think his insanity is yet to be realized to its fullest extent, including possible war or even nuclear annihilation. Nothing would ever shock me with this nutjob.
