> The problem still remains

It doesn't, because that 88,000,000,000 is a lower bound amount of lithium on the planet not an upper bound.

If I count all the apples on the apple tree in my yard, I haven't counted all the apples on the planet. Only the applies I know about. There's probably still more apple trees out there!

That 88,000,000,000 figure also doesn't count any lithium in the oceans. Taking even a small fraction from there would make that 88,000,000,000 seem tiny.
