Scientists Propose Geoengineering to Halt Melting 'Doomsday Glacier'

Scientists are proposing geoengineering solutions to slow the melting of the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier,' which could raise global sea levels by 10 feet and flood major coastal cities. Ideas include installing an underwater curtain to block warm currents, thickening the glacier with seawater, and cooling the bedrock. These interventions are costly and risky, and experts emphasize the need for research to avoid hasty decisions in the future. The glacier's rapid melting is a potential tipping point in climate change, threatening the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and global sea levels.
