Dealing, PART I

THERE ARE TWO THINGS which we the human species must do immediately, if not sooner. One, desalinate sea water, and transport it to regions which need fresh water. The second thing is we need to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Both of these things can be done, both of them must be done. Spread the word. By converting sea water into fresh water, we can neutralize sea level rise, and produce enough frest water for everyone on the planet, totally eliminate water shortages, water the entire planet however we want to, presumably in such a way as to keep verdant regions verdant, nourish semi arid regions to make them more productive and life sustaining as it can be made, and, best of all, reclaim millions of square miles of desert land worldwide, change it to whatever we want, as lush and green as we want, while most likely choosing to leave part of the world's surface in its current desert state, as nature seemingly intends. Reoving carbon, a lot of carbon, directly from the atmosphere, to reverse and eliminate global warming and climate change, is,like desalination well within our near future if not current tehnology. We can already do both, but not efficiently enough; the amount of energy it takes is far more expensive than the value of the amount of claen water produced or carbon removed (sequestered). But the difference between wht we can do and what we need to do is not great enough to stop us, and is getting less every day as better, more energy efficient processes are being developed by rsearchers all over the world. The answer is solar energy. Every hour of every day enough sunlight hits the Earth to run the entire planet, to provide us enough energy to do everything we want, and then some. An unlimited source of free energy, exactly what we need to survive, by using it to clean up the planet, which we can do. All we need to do is exploit it as we are already doing, and can and will do much more. We need anotehr "Manhatten Project", to desalinate sea water and distribute fresh water, and to remove atmospheric carbon, both Maybe two distinct programsn, maybe just one, coodinatd. Whar we need is some dynamic American president, like Roosevelt and Truman, or Joe Biden. to lead the way.
