Great swaths of the planet are drier with saltier soils, jeopardizing food production and water access for billions.

      They’ll invent a super cheap, efficient, practical desalination process that also pulls CO2 right after I invest.

        You are now morally obligated to invest all of your money, then. What’s the worst that could happen, someone invents the solution to all of our problems and you’re poor?

      It’s Saturday!

      The first big player I came across in desalination and/or reverse osmosis is Pure Aqua, but it’s a private company. Is there a publicly traded one you’re eyeing? Or did I misinterpret and you meant get a desalination machine?

    I keep a close eye on water levels and patterns. Seen it dry up quite a bit around here the last 5 years. Dry, in NW Florida, in a swamp. It’s worse than you see with your eyes.

    Didn’t have many dragonflies this year at camp. They stay underwater for 2 full years until they mature and fly around for a month. Where did they go? Several “ponds” dried up to mud puddles the last 2 years, never seen it that bad.

    With my velociraptor air force diminished, had more mosquitoes this year. Dried up ponds also killed the tiny fish. Go figure.

    Y’all are thinking about human and crop water supplies. There is so much more to it than that.

      Many bogs here in Sweden have been drying the last years too, we’ve been able to walk straight across them.

      When they are filled with water you sink like a rock
