Why scientists are so worried about this glacier

It's at the heart of Antarctica and on the verge of collapse.
In Antarctica, home to the largest chunk of ice on earth, ice shelves and glaciers are beginning to collapse, and one in particular could spell disaster. The Thwaites Glacier, in West Antarctica, has retreated more than 14 kilometers in the last two decades as warm ocean water undermines it. The glacier is situated on a downward slope that falls deep into the center of Antarctica. It's why scientists are racing to find out how close it is to total collapse - and what that would mean for future sea levels.

From the estimates, it contains almost an unfathomable amount of water. How accurate they are and how much it will impact the ocean levels is up for debate.

Just fricking stop.
You people are insane. Get back to me when all the homes in Martha’s Vinyard are evacuated due to the existential threat.

That's a subjective as a journalist these days. The Earth has cyclic weather patterns. Don't fall for the arrogant arguments that humans could change it, or keep it from changing. You and I are of no consequence with changing weather patterns.
Globaism 2022. Make you scared of it. Convince you only they have the solution. Sell it to you. Tax the money back.

Climate change threads on here make me want to stuck glass up my dickhole.

These Climate Alarmists are truly insane. What ever happened to the coming Ice Age from the 70’s?!? And who could forget corrosive acid rains in the 80’s and THE Ozone HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!’
I love it how these nutjobs leave out the most important factor….the Sun.

Fill a glass with ice and water. Leave it out to melt. Get back and let us know if the glass overflows.

Only one thing can fix this: higher taxes on Americans only.

When Obama, Al Hore, Zuckerberg, Bernie, etc… sell their beachfront properties collectively I will panic. Until then it’s fricking horseshite.

Climate Change is the natural order of the Earth’s climate.
Whether the present climate change is the result of human interaction and to what degree is fairly moot.
We’ll adapt and survive. Might not be pretty in human terms but it’s what we do.
The waves of plague weren’t pretty. They were so severe to human population numbers because we had stopped being hunter gatherers and had started to live in towns where the density made plague terrible.
We survived.
Climate change will impact presently arable lands taking them out of viable production. Possibly that might trigger food shortages or famine in some parts of the world. Terrible, but the survival of the species is not at risk.
People are starving today just like they have for EVERY year of (at least) the past several millennia, we are not breaking new ground here.
We will survive.
