So "doomsday" sounds pretty serious. Sadly they didn't mention by how much the sea levels would rise if that thing melted all the way down.
From a short internet search:
>Thwaites, sometimes referred to as the "doomsday glacier" because it would raise global sea-levels by around 65cm (25in) if it collapsed entirely, is highly vulnerable to warming.
- pinkmuffinere 3y agoWow, 25” of change is massive. I’m in SoCal, and I can’t think of anything that would be immediately broken by that, but flooding during bad storms would certainly get worse. I wonder if there are places that would immediately be in trouble? Perhaps the Netherlands, New Orleans, Venice?
