Aside from nimbyism, replacing natural fresh water source with energy-intense desalination isn't a solution, especially not in the short term. We're already using way too much energy, and at the current rate of decarbonization it'll be decades to a century until climate change will be getting better. Solving the problems brought about by climate change with using more energy will just set us up for a dead spiral.
