Regarding the “Doomsday Glacier,” experts have released yet another horrifying update, and things are not looking good.
The Thwaites Glacier, a sheet of ice about the size of Great Britain, is continuing to recede, scientists have warned
Since 1850, the average annual increase in Earth’s temperature has been 0.11F, and the effects of global warming are beginning to show.
The primary problem is that between the 1990s and the 2010s, the amount of ice flowing from the glacier into the sea more than doubled.
The Thwaites Glacier, when combined with the surrounding area, is responsible for 8% of the present 4.6mm annual global sea level increase.
According to the most recent projections, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may completely or significantly disappear from the ice pack in the twenty-third century.
