Interesting post. These guys need to next show several practical methods of collecting this brackish water.
(Nice to see research with no obvious political agenda, too.)
A visit to Easter Island is near the top of my Bucket List.
That’s using their heads.
Easter Island (per wikipedia) was settled around 1200 AD. If the world was warmer during the Medieval Warm Period, that would have meant more evaporation, and more rain.
If, during the Little Ice Age, things got cooler, then that would have meant less rain.
The geologist Robert Shoch visited Easter Island and noted that some of the idols were carved from stone that have no known quarries on the island. He speculated that perhaps the sources of that type of stone were now underwater.
If there was a major sea level rise that inundated the quarries then the statues would predate considerably the estimated 13th century time period of their creation, possibly as early as end of the great ice age ten or eleven thousand years ago.
