No, he has a point. It takes 3 litres of water to manufacture 6 rolls of kitchen paper, which can in turn soak up 6 litres of water, so for every 6 rolls of (dry) kitchen paper thrown into the ocean, one sees a reduction on ocean level of 9 litres.
On an industrial scale, this could save the maldives as a holiday destination.
It's important we think outside the box on this sort of thing.
Oh, I like out of the box thinking. From now on I insist that I can fuel up with petrol that comes from oil extracted from oil sands. That should significantly reduce the sea levels.
if we use more water then water becomes more expensive so suddenly desalination becomes commercially viable at which point we'll have a water glut which will reduce water prices as desalination competes to save its sunk cost and become more competitive with, well, rain
at which point we'll be able to afford to water the sahara etc which will draw a big chunk of all that uselessly store antartica water into deserts where it would be useful and we'll even have an extra continent to cultivate
I really don't see a downside to using as much water as possible
In one fell swoop, we have saved the maldives, rehabilitated drunk driving, cooled the world, reclaimed the sahara and filled it with penguins and polar bears.
I say we let Africa be taken over by elephants. They drink a lot of water too. We could have watering holes the size of Lake Victoria everywhere. They might trample a few folk but y'know, fook 'em. Population is growing too fast anyway.

Good point. All of those in favour of more drunk driving say 'aye'!!

There's a logical link.
Cars will hold a lot of water when full.
Drunk drivers are more likely to drive into the sea.
Therefore the more drunk drivers there are, the more water is likely to be in cars and not the sea, thereby reducing sea levels.
The logic is unarseholeable.

doesn't ??? have a point though
if we use more water then water becomes more expensive so suddenly desalination becomes commercially viable at which point we'll have a water glut which will reduce water prices as desalination competes to save its sunk cost and become more competitive with, well, rain

Let's unite and get wasted!!

And who said lawyers couldnt save the world.

I mean, aren't we due to have some new animals, all these old wintry ones are a bit boring
we could do with some of those sand worms out of Dune or a sea beast or something

Some sort of giant centipede made from shaved polar bears, sewn together?
It might be a bit angry.

why do people care about polar bears, we've got about 100 types of bear and they all would rip your face clean off
