'Doomsday Glacier' In Antarctica Under Imminent Risk Of Collapse Confirming Previous Claims

On October 27, 2021 and November 12, 2021, I posted time stamped tweets about a looming crisis in the Southern Hemisphere of earth, posing a threat to humanity. 2-months later Yahoo News published an article stating, "Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' is facing threat of imminent collapse, scientists warn."

In the article Yahoo News states, "An Antarctic glacier the size of Florida is on the verge of collapse, scientists with the American Geophysical Union warned Monday, a nightmare scenario made worse by climate change that could eventually result in several feet of global sea level rise."

On November 14, 2021 I stated in a time stamped tweet on Twitter "the problem needed to be looked at from space." Weeks later the government did look at the 'Doomsday Glacier' from space and were surprised at what they saw, as Yahoo News reported, "Its eastern portion abuts an underwater mountain, and was thought to be more stable, but new satellite images revealed that fractures have developed that are allowing warming ocean waters to speed its disintegration."

On December 14, 2021 the government stated the mountain abutting the glacier is experiencing "disintegration." As I stated in my tweets several weeks prior on October 27, 2021 and November 14, 2021, "Something under the earth holding it together is cracking and crumbling."

If the situation is not corrected, the accelerated issues with the "Doomsday Glacier" can lead to over a 10-foot rise in sea levels on costal areas, such as New York and Florida, among other places, making them uninhabitable. I've written about costal flooding issues on this site before (Miami Beach Building Collapsed Resulting In Fatalities (Video) and New York Times States Collapse Of Surfside Building Is Due To Issue That Occurred Underneath The Structure Confirming Previous Claims).

There are other aspects to the Southern Hemisphere problem as well. The entire situation is serious. It needs a concentrated effort to avert disaster. Some world governments are not understanding the gravity of the situation and that there are additional issues present as well. More on this in a future item.

Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' is facing threat of imminent collapse, scientists warn

David Knowles · Senior Editor - December 14, 2021- An Antarctic glacier the size of Florida is on the verge of collapse, scientists with the American Geophysical Union warned Monday, a nightmare scenario made worse by climate change that could eventually result in several feet of global sea level rise.

The findings were based on new satellite imagery of the Thwaites Glacier, which has been nicknamed the “doomsday glacier,” showing a proliferation of cracks across its surface. “The eastern ice shelf is likely to shatter into hundreds of icebergs,” Oregon State University glaciologist Erin Pettit said at a video news conference Monday. “Suddenly the whole thing would collapse.”

Scientists have been monitoring the glacier, the current melting of which contributes to roughly 4 percent of annual sea level rise, for years. Its eastern portion abuts an underwater mountain, and was thought to be more stable, but new satellite images revealed that fractures have developed that are allowing warming ocean waters to speed its disintegration.

If the eastern portion of the glacier were to give way, it would hasten the collapse of its other portions, Pettit said, adding that the collapse of the eastern section could occur in the next three to five years, “like the shattering of your car’s window.” “As it’s structured right now, this ice shelf acts like a dam. But it’s not going to for very long,” Pettit said...

Antarctica’s ‘doomsday glacier’ could collapse in 3 years, raise sea levels

 December 15, 2021 10:58am - A massive “doomsday glacier” that is melting in Antarctica could lead to a rise of more than 2 feet in global sea levels when its ice shelf shatters — which could happen as soon as three years from now, according to reports.

The Thwaites Glacier — roughly the size of Florida at a staggering 74,000 square miles — extends to a depth of about 2,600 to 3,900 feet at its grounding line, where it transitions from a land-attached ice mass to the floating ice shelf, Live Science reported. It is dubbed the “doomsday glacier” because its collapse could trigger a surrounding glacial cascade that the latest research suggests could come far sooner than expected.

“There is going to be a dramatic change in the front of the glacier, probably in less than a decade. Both published and unpublished studies point in that direction,” glaciologist Ted Scambos, US lead coordinator for the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, told the BBC. “This will accelerate the pace (of Thwaites) and widen, effectively, the dangerous part of the glacier,” he added...
