Thwaites Glacier melting faster than thought, sea-level fears rise
Original: Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier melting faster than thought, could double sea-level contribution
New findings indicate Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, often called the 'Doomsday Glacier', is melting faster than scientists previously estimated, potentially doubling its contribution to global sea-level rise. The glacier already accounts for a significant share of Antarctica's ice loss, and researchers warn its accelerated retreat could have major consequences for coastal communities worldwide.
Why now: Fresh research suggests the glacier's melt rate is worse than expected, renewing fears about sea-level rise
