Again, you grossly underestimate the sheer volume of our planet’s oceans.

Again, climate change is effecting the ocean the most. If it is already strained, and for the next 100 years we start mass desalination in developed nations, what do you think will happen to the already rising and deadly temperatures? If they are already approaching dangerous levels, and desalination raises the temperature, what will happen? I'm not misunderstanding here, I'm telling you once this picks up en masse there will be consequences.
