Subject: RE: BS: Great Lakes water diversion-Waddya think?
Ironic that gobal warming is causing both the loss of inland water and the rising of sea levels.

Two options seem to be reducing the outflow of inland water (but storage is a problem) and desalination.

Am I right that desalination uses so much energy at the moment that it increases global warming and makes the overall water crisis worse?
