How long will it take for climate change to claim the Thwaites Glacier?

This summer, deep in the crevasses of a glacier the size of Britain, Dr. Alex Brisbourne will try to uncover information that could affect all of humanity. There are clues hidden in the ice of the Thwaites Glacier – a vast Antarctic glacier named after American geologist Frederik T Thwaites – that will show whether a catastrophic collapse is imminent, triggering a rapid slide into Antarctic waters that could lead to the Big Four. – meter increase sea level. Global temperatures are now warming so rapidly and polar ice is retreating so rapidly that scientists from the British Antarctic Survey have warned that the world may have already reached a tipping point.
