Reply to comment by tiregroove in Ultrathin polymer-based ordered membranes that effectively remove salt from seawater and brine could provide a promising alternative to existing water desalination systems by giuliomagnifico

Global warming is raising sea levels. Desalinate the water and drink it to lower sea level. Put salt where the glaciers were. Easy.

I wonder of the color itself might help, cos I remember reading that reflection of solar rays by ice caps helps lower temperature.

Also, we all know that salt makes ice colder so in doing this we've solved the ice melt problem!
