We shouldn't fear any ice sheet or glacier melting. There are plenty of places (hot deserts, aquifers, caves, ect...) where we can store fresh water melt ice.
The Thwaites Glacier, often referred to as the "Doomsday Glacier," is one of the most significant contributors to potential sea level rise. If the entire Thwaites Glacier were to melt, it is projected to cause a global sea level rise of about 0.6 meters (2 feet). However, if the glacier's collapse triggers further ice loss in the surrounding region, the total sea level rise could exceed 3 meters (10 feet). This potential rise in sea levels would have devastating effects on coastal communities worldwide. Scientists are closely monitoring the glacier to better understand and predict its future behavior.
Citations, visual credits, inspiration, and additional reading linked in the description. Enjoy!
This video was so touchy, nicely done!
No longer referred to as a Grounding Line, its a Grounding Zone as it can spread cross kilometres
Thanks. This was helpful.
Nice video!
Good video.

Glacier that is already in the sea won't do anything if it melts.
thwaites isn't "already in the sea"
