The ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is rapidly melting. Scientists now have evidence for when it started and why
- Researchers found that Thwaites Glacier started retreating rapidly in the 1940s due to a strong El Niño event.
- Thwaites Glacier's retreat, likely due to human-caused global warming, could lead to a 2-feet rise in sea levels.
- The West Antarctic Ice Sheet, vulnerable to climate change, could raise sea levels by 16 feet, causing global flooding, if it collapses.
