I'll admit that the logical conclusion of desalination or open-ocean-rainwater collection, which would be the greening of all deserts on earth, might possibly fuck with the ocean. Because 1% saltier is still 1% saltier.
However, it's still possible to make huge changes while having little effect on the ocean. A rainwater harvesting dam on the Bohai Sea, used to green an area the size of the UK, would have little effect on the worlds ocean overall.
Good to know. Then I'm more mad at governments for not trying this.
Fun fact: if the US spent as much %GDP as Saudi Arabia on desalination, an entire new Colorado River could be created

Instead we’re using our water to feed their cows
