With enough energy resources aren't limited. Solar is that energy, since for desalination we can perform it purely during daytime and won't need to build out batteries etc as for other energy consuming industries.
Cost isn't relevant - this is something we must choose to do as a society instead of emptying out the aquafiers.
If near-coastal water needs are solved using desalination you can keep a lot more water at higher elevations.
Is your "no way" quantified with numbers or is it a gut feeling?
I did the math in a recent discussion and a square meter solar panel desalinates 60 cubic meters of seawater per year. Or, phrased differently, a square kilometer solar panel array supplies enough desalinated water for 60 square kilometers of crops.
Dump it in a big pit in the nearest similar environment (sandy desert, bedrock etc). It's all just weathered bedrock to begin with.
Time to build out solar that does nothing but desalinate seawater. We've been overusing aquafiers for a very long time now and it simply has to stop.

At least two, maybe all three, of those photos are from Norway.
But yeah, we have the same word. I do believe the fact that our trains have "slutstation" to be funnier.
Thank you for that excellent example. No, ocean life won't collapse in 20 years. This is not a "climate denier" statement - it's the current actual state of science.
There are however a lot of "doomist" headlines spread by activists and activist media that exaggerate - a lot - and that's indeed part of why I think young people hesitate in starting families.
(I'm of the generation that grew up thinking we'd all die due to nuclear armaggedon)
We have that in the Nordics, yet our birth rates are also falling.
I'm thinking the chants about the planet dying and the children not having a future might have some relevance.
