I do wonder what the state of desalination is. I have read a bit about brine management out of curiosity , but I really have a hard time understanding what can be done about it. If someone figured out how to make concrete from brine or something could we be doing a lot more desalination?

What was so bad about that? The idea that less human scientists, workers means less innovation, productivity is not necessarily true now in the age of automation and AI.
The way I see it, people having less children across the planet may be the best way to rebalance this phenomenon.
One third of arable land is desertified. Insect and other species are plummeting. The world is being converted to monocultures and farms. And we are here talking about having more babies for the sustainability of .. social security schemes?
