Here's an idea I had. Build several large desalination plants along the earth's coastlines and run water pipelines inland to drought-stricken areas like in Africa, the Middle East, Australia and the US southwest. This way we can regulate the sea level rise and solve some of our water shortage problems at the same time.
While climate scientists have repeatedly raised alarm about the how human-caused global warming is driving "off the charts" ice loss in Greenland that will contribute to devastating sea level rise, a new analysis of a less studied region has ramped up those concerns, revealing that Greenland's ice sheet is melting even faster than previously thought.
"We are watching the ice sheet hit a tipping point," warned lead author Michael Bevis, a geodynamics professor at Ohio State University. "We're going to see faster and faster sea level rise for the foreseeable future."
