megangibson+FollowDoomsday Glacier Drama: Should We Panic?The Thwaites 'Doomsday Glacier' in Antarctica is melting way faster than scientists hoped, and if it collapses, it could raise sea levels by 65cm—enough to put major cities and millions of people at risk. The wild part? Over 40% of us live near the coast. Researchers are using underwater robots to track it, but the clock’s ticking. If the whole West Antarctic Ice Sheet goes, we’re talking a 3.3m sea level rise. Climate change just got real, folks. #Science #DoomsdayGlacier #ClimateCrisis3125Share
Michael Flores+FollowStorms Are Supercharging the Doomsday GlacierTurns out, there’s a new villain melting Antarctica’s infamous Doomsday Glacier: fast-moving winds called low-level jets (LLJs). Scientists just found these winds are way more common—and get way stronger—when storms roll through. Why does it matter? These winds can push warm water under the ice, speeding up melting and raising sea levels. Basically, more storms = faster glacier meltdown. It’s another reminder that climate change is making wild weather even wilder, and the stakes are huge for coastal cities everywhere. #ClimateChange #Antarctica #DoomsdayGlacier #Science31Share
megangibson+FollowDoomsday Glacier Drama: What’s at Stake?The Thwaites Glacier (aka the ‘Doomsday Glacier’) is melting way faster than anyone expected—and if it collapses, it could raise sea levels by over two feet! But here’s the wild part: it could pull other glaciers down with it, flooding coastlines and putting millions at risk. Think Florida underwater, NYC coastlines gone, and countries like Bangladesh and the Maldives in serious trouble. Scientists say switching to clean energy is one way to help, but this is one climate story you’ll want to keep an eye on! #ClimateCrisis #DoomsdayGlacier #SeaLevelRise #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #Science121Share
