Regarding the \u201cDoomsday Glacier,\u201d experts have released yet another horrifying update, and things are not looking good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thwaites Glacier, a sheet of ice about the size of Great Britain, is continuing to recede, scientists have warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1850, the average annual increase in Earth\u2019s temperature has been 0.11F, and the effects of global warming are beginning to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary problem is that between the 1990s and the 2010s, the amount of ice flowing from the glacier into the sea more than doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thwaites Glacier, when combined with the surrounding area, is responsible for 8% of the present 4.6mm annual global sea level increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the most recent projections, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may completely or significantly disappear from the ice pack in the twenty-third century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts have stated that immediate action is now required to assist in slowing down this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, scientists from the US and the UK will gather at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge to talk about their discoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explore if they can uncover more information about the future of the \u201cDoomsday Glacier,\u201d researchers plan to employ a mix of underwater robotics and other approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it all melted, sea levels would rise by 3.3 meters, resulting in global floods, habitat loss, and an increase in storm frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only in the UK, places like Hull, Peterborough, Portsmouth, portions of east London, and the Thames Estuary would be vulnerable to flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Rob Larter, from the Science Co-ordination of the ITGC and a marine geophysicist at BAS, said: \u201cThwaites has been retreating for more than 80 years, accelerating considerably over the past 30 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd our findings indicate it is set to retreat further and faster.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a consensus that Thwaites Glacier retreat will accelerate sometime within the next century.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
