...Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) might run amok within our lifespan by colapsing, I think we really need to think big in order to keep Earth a habitable planet for human beings.--So, more #SciFi-thinking. 😉

... years, rather decades to build. So, in my view, now would be a good time to start planning.
As an afterthought:
Shouldn't we try to capture some melt water in yet-to-be-built artificial lakes until then?
Ten years ago, I'd have had to agree with you telling me that I've read to much sci-fi.

...regions in the #US are drying up while the population has not peaked yet. Also, #DataCenters and #Agriculture suck up huge amounts of water.
In my view, it is only a question of time until the #WaterWars, as I had called them some years back, will arrive in #NorthAmerica.
Prises will rise and might even approach that of long-term falling crude oil prices.

... a thought experiment, let's reduce the geographical reach for a moment, b/c "thinking globally" never solves any real-world problems:
The American north east, the area b/W #CAN and #DK (#Greenland.)
I have no idea about water depths and #PlateTectonics in that region, but wouldn't a #WaterPipeline be feasible?
#CAN will need increasing amounts of water for #ForestFire fighting, and more and more...

Thank you very much for enlightening us on the topic.
I found the https://arcticice.ae #UAE site entertaining and well done from a marketing perspective. Having rare waters at #WaterTastings with #WaterSomelliers is a new trend, so the venture enjoys at least an opportune moment.
#Desalination plants are costly and (thanks for reminding me) the brine issue is not really solved, or is it?
