but this has nothing to do with the general fresh water supply. ...if anything, warmer temps and rising seas means more evaporation. Which means more precip. Which means more freshwater available globally.

That just my humble opinion. I'm not a professional meteorologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

The concept is that melting alpine glaciers don’t change the total amount of water in the rivers, but when it flows - rivers without lasting glacial feeds in many places have much lower summer/fall flows and heavier spring melt flows than those that are fed by permanent glaciers.

Of course, the whole “problem” is premised on “global warming” being real, so...
