Thwaites ‘Doomsday’ Glacier Narrative Collapses…Total Melt Raises Sea Levels 1-2 mm, Not 3048 mm

“[N]o numerical modeling work has shown that Thwaites Glacier is currently undergoing an irreversible retreat.” – Gudmundsson et al., 2023

It was only months ago that mainstream US journalists published articles claiming the Thwaites “Doomsday” Glacier has only “a few more years” until it collapses into the sea (ABC News, CBS News).

This “spine-chilling” catastrophe with “global implications” would, it was claimed, raise sea levels by the equivalent of 10 feet, or 3,048 mm.
 
But per a study (Gudmundsson et al., 2023) published online yesterday, scientists need to consider the buttressing of the ice shelves (affecting ice flow into the ocean itself), as this significantly impacts estimates of ice-melt contributions to sea level rise.

Glacial retreats are not irreversible.  Throughout much of Earth's modern geological and climate history, glaciers have expanded and retreated multiple times.  Glacial retreat may reverse itself again, but not for many generations.

Scientists are mistaking men for God and Nature.

Man, alone, does not control climate.  Man is merely a passenger on God's great blue marble, called Earth.

Very true and a beautiful description.
