Top Ten Asinine Ways to Attempt to Create a Utopian Society
It's an unlikely thing that a lot of us wish for, but that doesn't mean we can't try. But to try like this would indeed be asinine, as the title says.The Top Ten Asinine Ways to Attempt to Create a Utopian Society
No! We shall live in a society of hate and negativity, with positivity to balance it out. - gemcloben
Only problem are psychopaths. They do bad things without having to hate something. - Kiteretsunu

As the fellow visitor said below, this is a flawed idea.
Except in cases in the Middle East where they do active desalinization (it's too expensive in the rest of the world), no drinking water comes directly from the oceans.
The chemicals you dumped in the oceans would be left behind, with the salt and other pollutants, when the water re-entered the atmosphere during evaporation and storms.
While all water is connected like you say, it's a matter of where the human drinking water fits into the chain. If you were to add the chemicals upstream, say by sprinkling it in the mountains or salting the clouds with it to produce storms, the chemicals would largely stay in the water supply to be gathered in reservoirs and storage facilities. Though I'd imaging they would be mostly filtered out during the cleaning process. That's why chemicals like fluoride are added to the water supply only one hop above hitting the public water supply and your tap.

Hawk:
Might the doxy concerning the genesis of petroleum be a myth, or worse yet, a hoax?
Are you aware of conclusions, mainly by Russian scientists, beginning in the late 19th century, that asphaltum/petroleum is the product of abiogenic processes near Earth's core?
Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, and they end up further and further underground, so might as well get a Tardis and a new crop! - PositronWildhawk
