Experts Propose Geoengineering to Halt 'Doomsday Glacier' Threat

The Thwaites Glacier, known as the "Doomsday Glacier," poses a significant threat to global sea levels, potentially raising them by over ten feet if it collapses. Scientists are considering geoengineering solutions, such as barriers to block warm water, to slow its melting. However, these measures are seen as temporary fixes rather than solutions to climate change, emphasizing the need for reducing carbon emissions. Studies predict the glacier's complete collapse could occur by 2100 or in the following centuries, with its rapid retreat continuing to accelerate.
