Tidal action on the underside of the Thwaites Glacier in the Antarctic will "inexorably" accelerate melting this century, according to new research by British and American scientists. The researchers warn the faster melting could destabilize the entire West Antarctic Ice sheet, leading to its eventual collapse.
Brb guys. Gonna go to 7-11, buy 5 bags of ice, and throw the ice in the ocean. That should do it, right?
Yep that’ll work as long as you leave them in the plastic bag.
And by work, I mean kill us with microplastic poisoning before the planet dies.
Yes, that will help accelerate global warming.
