It's possible to desaltinize ocean or sea water. I know some places in the world suffer from shortages of drinking water, but 1st world countries will never have that as an issue.
If the polar ice caps are allowed to melt, we'll have the opposite problem: more water than we know what to do with. Already the weather has started to go insane as each year we seem to have killer hurricanes. I don't remember this sort of thing in the mid 90s.
I find it impossible to believe that the mass deforestation (particularly of the rainforests) and pumping of wastes and gases into the atmosphere and water bodies has 0 impact on the environment.

Misnomer. It's a climate shift, they've happened many times through the history of the world, and we've always been able to get through. Even the over-the-top ice ages.
