If the problem of the polar and antarctic ice melting raises the sea levels why not build giant desalination plants?

Before you say "well that will never happen because it's too expensive", we have an amendment in our constitution that allows slavery in the form of prison labor, I mean instead of prisoners booty banging each other or killing and stabbing each other, why not take the strongest prisoners we have and use them in constructing ginormous plants that take in sea water and turns them into fresh water the same way the Egyptians and romans used slave labor to build their monuments and society?

We need more ice fighting the sun and bodys create heat. We can throw more energy at the problem but it only creates more heat that's the problem. Have you paid for an a/c bill before? But...

This week a dozen scientists are racing to publish a super conductor that works in room temperatures. If true could be the biggest advancement of energy since Benjamin Franklin honestly. 100% energy input no loss in heat loss green energy now has zero downsides compared to fossil fual.

Desalination Plants are a wonderful idea & if they had those they could pump water in parts of the world that are low on water. On the flip side salt is the problem & we have to solve where to dump all the salt because back in the ocean wouldn’t work.

Why waste the time and money when that's obviously never gonna happen?
The ice caps are actually getting thicker, the planet's getting a lot greener BECAUSE of CO2 and if John Kerry actually thought a carbon foot print mattered, why does he REFUSE to reduce his? And if the oceans are swelling up, why did Barry Soetoro just blow $10,000,000 on a new mansion with an ocean view?

If there are “rising sea levels”, why can we still see Plymouth Rock?
