They should just harvest a huge block of ice from a comet and drop it in the ocean.

Makes sense.

Create a massive rocket
Burn a massive amount of rocket fuel to get it into space
Surround the comet ice in enough artificially made heat resistant materials so it doesn’t burn up in the atmosphere
Use more rocket fuel to angle the giant ball of ice so it doesn’t burn up on re-entry
Burn some more fuel to slow down its descent once inside the atmosphere so it doesn’t crash into the earth, ending all life in the immediate area
Drop the ball of unsalted ice in the ocean

Hahhaha. Totally missed that. I just assumed it was a joke.
