Answer:

As temperatures increase, ice melts and water levels rise, threatening to engulf coastal towns and villages and cause mass displacement and loss of life. Initial predictions expected a sea level rise of over 59cm by 2100, but current rates will likely exceed this by a wide margin.

Most forms of desalination are energy-intensive. Desalination has the potential to increase fossil fuel dependence, increase greenhouse gas emissions, and exacerbate climate change if renewable energy sources are not used for freshwater production. Desalination surface water intakes are a huge threat to marine life.

Hope it was helpful.
