The Doomsday Glacier Is Collapsing…Who Is Most at Risk?
Season 2
Episode 10
Sea level rise is a problem that is garnishing increasing attention among both scientists and the media. And as climate change continues to warm the earth, the current rate of 1.4 inches per decade is projected to increase, with NOAA predicting another foot of sea-level rise along US coastlines by 2050. The most consequential tipping point, when it comes to sea-level rise, is Thwaites Glacier.
