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.

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears
One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who now feel they have the political will to do so

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.

In actuality, Trump calling climate change “the greatest con job”, is ITSELF the greatest con job! In keeping with his #1 habit of projection, projection, projection, lol. Not funny, and won’t work.
