Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier Faces Accelerated Melting Threat

Scientists warn significant portions could collapse by the 23rd century, leading to drastic sea level rise.

The Thwaites Glacier, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier,' is retreating faster than previously thought, according to new research.
The glacier's collapse could contribute up to 65 centimeters (26 inches) to global sea level rise, with potential for even higher increases.
Researchers from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration have found that tidal activity is pumping warmer seawater into the glacier, accelerating its melt.
The glacier's retreat has been ongoing for over 80 years, with significant acceleration in the past 30 years.
Immediate and sustained climate intervention is needed to mitigate the glacier's collapse and its impact on coastal communities worldwide.
