Thwaites is a 'threshold system',which buttresses continental-borne glaciers.When they go,the glaciers behind them go,which is where sea-level rise will come from.5-feet for the Thwaites system.Same for Pine Island,which is unstable as well.It's moving at 33-feet/day!
Darn that man made warming...

I guess it’s really happening.

Wait...

What’s this...???
