Safeguards around ‘Doomsday Glacier’ could collapse within 5 years, scientists warn

Scientists are warning that the world could be looking at trouble from the so-called “Doomsday Glacier” in a few years.
Researchers reviewed satellite images of the ice shelves safeguarding the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica.
The glacier is the size of Florida and is the widest one in the world. Scientists are seeing fracturing in the ice sheets surrounding it.
They fear the sheets could shatter in the next three to five years, which would pose the biggest threat for sea-level rise this century. The glacier itself holds enough water to raise sea levels by over 2 feet. The level jumps by 10 feet if it takes the surrounding glaciers with it.
Researchers say this kind of rise in sea levels would put coastal communities and low-lying island nations at risk. Welp it was good knowing you baws

Same as everything else... they go up.

Ok. A glacier the size of Florida is enough to raise sea levels 2 feet?
Considering water makes up almost 75% of the surface of earth, I'd like to see the math on this.

Please, don't bring science into this. That would make too much sense.

I’m in the Mts.
But now I’ll be 10 mins closer to the beach!
All those guys on the other side of beachfront ave. just made a fortune.

I was told none of this was going to happen when Obama was inaugurated.

The Obamas bought a seaside mansion.
Let the damn glacier collapse...quickly.

Let me know when the climate change alarmist stop taking 400+ private jets to their yearly pow wow.
Until the alarmist change their way of life to reflect the things they say I’m not changing a mother fricking thing.

Total surface area of earth-196,900,000 square miles.
Total water surface area-139,000,000 square miles
Florida-66,000 square miles
Yeah, their numbers are bullshite.

Just need to set up some fans to keep it cooled down. Easy fix.

I will worry when Obama, Bill Gates, Zuckerman etc… all sell their oceanfront mansions.
