What do we think about seawater desalination? Liberals say that it’s the solution for California’s water woes, but I’ve heard valid critique that desalinating on a meaningful level would fuck with the ocean environment… which of course would rubberband in bad ways.
Uhh, wouldn’t that necessarily cause extinction of species that live in those deserts? I’d at least be on board for doing it to the extent that we undo our own damage… but like, the world is supposed to have some deserts.

It’s based.
All the world’s deserts could be greened, and the resulting water shadow would only leave the oceans 1% saltier
green land also has something like 100x more biomass than ocean per unit area

Yeah, but there are tons of deserts that are man made from over farming and deforestation. Plenty of arid lands that are only recently arid
