What If All The Seawater Became Fresh Water
The article explores the consequences of removing salt from the ocean, highlighting that while freshwater oceans may seem like a solution to water shortages, it would have devastating effects on marine life, climate, and human survival. Desalinating the ocean would lead to the extinction of saltwater species, a decrease in oxygen levels, an increase in carbon dioxide levels, extreme weather patterns, and the collapse of the food chain. The article emphasizes the importance of ocean salinity for the balance of ecosystems and human survival.
