"In a new paper in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers estimated that Greenland’s “zombie ice” — immense chunks destined to melt because of the changes that have already occurred — will boost sea levels by nearly a foot. The scientists calculate that some 3.3 percent of the island’s ice sheet is bound to disappear into the oceans, much of that over the course of this century, which equates to 110 trillion tons of ice. These estimates, based on direct observations...

These estimates do not take into account melting occurring in other areas, particularly Antarctica — and news from scientists on that end of the world, announced this month, was not good. A study published in Nature Geoscience revealed harrowing new details about Antarctica’s gigantic Thwaites Glacier — a frozen, Florida-size expanse also known as the “doomsday glacier” because its collapse could raise sea levels by 3 to 10 feet. They found evidence that the ice responds quickly to adverse conditions, suggesting that “pulses of rapid retreat are likely to occur in the near future.” “Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails,” said the British Antarctic Survey’s Robert D. Larter, one of the co-authors."

Thwaites is also called the doomsday glacier because it would set off a tidal wave that could kill millions, and crash the American economy.
