One of the ever-looming threats of climate change is sea level rise, which already threatens to displace millions of people worldwide and force them to move inland by the end of the century. A big part of the rising water levels are hotter temperatures at the poles—home to giant glaciers and ice shelves that hold crucial quantities of frozen H2O.
The Florida-sized Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, nicknamed the “doomsday glacier,” is already losing 50 billion tons of ice each year. That in itself accounts for around 4 percent of annual global sea level rise. But unpublished research shared at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting this week shows that the thinning ice shelf extending from Thwaites could shatter within the next three to five years. Behind Thwaites lies an even larger body of ice that, if the glacier melts, will be exposed to increasingly warm waters.
“Thwaites is the widest glacier in the world,” Ted Scambos, a senior research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and lead coordinator for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC), said in a press release. “It’s doubled its outflow speed within the last 30 years, and the glacier in its entirety holds enough water to raise [global] sea levels by over two feet. And it could lead to even more sea level rise, up to 10 feet, if it draws the surrounding glaciers with it.”

A glacier the size of Florida is like an ice cube in a swimming pool
In other news, banks around the world have declared bankruptcy because they are unable to dispose of foreclosed coastal properties....
Not!
Is this a typo....135 meters is 'bout 1,000 feet.
Nope. No typo. Sea levels have risen 135 meters in the last 20-18k years.
What will Obama do? His Martha’s Vineyard mansion is only 10 feet above sea level?
This interglacial will last 20 thousand years. It started 10 thousand years ago. The earth has been warming ever since. The earth will continue warming for the next 10 thousand years until the next ice age sets in, due to the Milankovitch cycle.
I can’t find it in an internet search but, because thermal momentum exists, I would bet the earth’s south pole has already significantly surpassed pointing toward the sun at the southern summer solstice.
It helps if you use the correct grammar/spelling
In your counter rant, it should be “you’re” as in “you are”, rather than the possessive “your”.
Also, 135 meters is just a hair under 443 feet not a thousand feet.
Or is it Propaganda Science Magazine? Another magazine that I won't ever read again...
Been hearing this crap for decades. Can’t feel sorry for idiots that believe this hype.
The sky is falling!

Maps of Antartica have been found that show it was ice-free many thousands of years ago. It is reverting to it's former ice-free state, and this happens in cycles over tens of thousands of years. Copies of these maps were made several hundred years ago, based on older maps, and have astonished modern archaeologists in their accuracy of describing land features only now discovered via satellite technology. The Earth is not fixed in one state, but changes in cyclic fashion according to natural changes in electromagnetic fluxes between the Sun and planets, and shifting of magnetic poles. Al Gore is wrong!
And when liberals stop their flying of Private jets. Yes Kerry that means you too.
Hmmm...
NYC, Boston, DC, S.F., Portland, Seattle, L.A., and Miami buried under water...
Hmmm...
Just make sure they cannot migrate to any “red” states...
Where’s the downside to that?
Except for me & the wife, who live on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay...
Yep.
As always, their actions speak so loudly I can not hear a word they are saying.
If your a democrat, you are too stupid for a serious person to waste time reading.
Boy howdy! You sure called it! This is from her Linkedin profile:

Wrote online health, food and global development coverage for three of NPR's blogs: Shots, The Salt, and Goats and Soda. Story on China's stance on plastic imports included in a list of Aspen Institute's "Five Best Ideas Of The Day" on July 3, 2018.
A person would have to work shift work in the restrooms of the DC Metro Greyhound Bus Station for six months to get any self-respect back after that intern job.
OH NO!
Waterfront property to go underwater due to rise of oceans caused by privileged racist white men melting the glaciers.
This is why Barack Obama did not just purchase a $12 million dollar waterfront estate on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.....
Oh Wait!
It is someone else who did not purchase that property - isn’t it?
