The impending rise in the levels of the oceans cannot be denied. It is going to happen. To what degree is unknown. However there does not seem to be any plan being presented as to how to address this advent. Some have mentioned building sea-walls to protect cities from being flooded. Realistically, this is a futile attempt and without economic feasibility. I propose that we ‘consume’ as much of the ocean water as physically possible on a global basis. However, I’m not just suggesting that we drink all of that water. Below I propose a series of actions and positive results that can be realized if we act in unison as a species. Presently, the Chinese city of Beijing is sinking one inch per year due to massive ground water extraction. The wildlife in Africa is threatened more by the drying out of the continent than by poaching. If we globally stop using the precious ‘natural’ fresh water that is drying out the water tables in virtually every nation then there is an opportunity for us to restore those natural fresh sources and still have all the water that we could possibly require. We may not be able to completely equalize the amount of the actual rise in sea levels with our consumption but I believe that we can put a significant dent in it at the very least. Please follow the thought process from the beginning to each and every stage until the concept is fully vetted.
