This was one of the latest scare stories from climate alarmists which turns out to be pure bullshit like so many others.
Contrary to recent widespread media reports and dire predictions by a team of earth scientists, Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier – the second fastest melting glacier on the continent – is not on the brink of collapse. The notion that catastrophe is imminent stems from a basic misunderstanding of ice sheet dynamics in West Antarctica.
The hoopla began with publication of a research study in November 2021 and a subsequent invited presentation to the AGU (American Geophysical Union). Both postulated that giant cracks recently observed in the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (pictured to the left) may cause the whole ice shelf to shatter within as little as five years. The cracks result from detachment of the ice shelf’s seaward edge from an underwater mountain about 40 kilometers (25 miles) offshore that pins the shelf in place like a cork in a bottle.
Because the ice shelf already floats on the ocean, collapse of the shelf itself and release of a flotilla of icebergs wouldn’t cause global sea levels to rise. But the researchers argue that loss of the ice shelf would speed up glacier flow, increasing the contribution to sea level rise of the Thwaites Glacier – often dubbed the “doomsday glacier” – from 4% to 25%. A sudden increase of this magnitude would have a devastating impact on coastal communities worldwide. The glacier’s location is indicated by the lower red dot in the figure below.

This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
