Scientists May Have Been Wrong About 'Doomsday Glacier'

Scientists May Have Been Wrong About 'Doomsday Glacier'
Story by Tom Howarth • 1d

A recent study has challenged some of the most alarming predictions about Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier," owing to the seismic impacts it could have on the world's oceans.

The research suggested that a catastrophic collapse of the glacier, which could lead to rapid and dramatic sea-level rise, is less likely to occur this century than previously thought.
 
The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica has been a major focus for climate scientists due to its unstable nature and significant contribution to global sea-level rise.

Currently, it accounts for about 4 percent of the annual increase in sea levels and holds enough ice to raise them by over two feet if it fully melts, according to the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
