WHICH WILL ARRIVE FIRST COP 28 TRANSITION OR THE DOOMSDAY GLACIER

Melting in West Antarctica, a region that includes the Doomsday Glacier, may be thawing at a rate that is now past the point of no return according to some of the most recent data on the ice sheet’s condition—and this will be extremely bad for our world. It appears that we may have lost control of the West Antarctic ice shelf melting over the 21st century. This could pose a major problem for the world since West Antarctica is home to the Thwaites Glacier, colloquially called the Doomsday Glacier since it would raise global sea levels by ten feet if it ever melted. Other bad news about the Doomsday Glacier was already reported earlier in 2023 when two separate studies warned that the world was reaching a tipping point concerning the speed at which the Doomsday Glacier was melting. It was found to be melting much faster than previously predicted, but there had been other worrying signs for over a decade. Two studies published in the journal Nature on February 15th revealed that the Doomsday Glacier was melting faster than previously thought due to the development of deep cracks in the ice that kicked the Thwaites’ thawing into overdrive. If the Thwaites arrives in the UAE first their wealth will not help them as their whole world will disappear along with most of the cities in the northern hemisphere.
