Collapse of doomsday glacier in Antarctica could begin in five years, scientists say

[MR. SNIFLES]

Key word: Most

THE QUESTION IS WHETHER OR NOT THE VOLUME LOSS UNDERWATER IS LESS THAN THE VOLUME GAIN ABOVE WATER. NATURALLY ICE FLOATS AT A LEVEL THAT PUTS ABOUT 85% BELOW WATER LEVEL. ANTARCTICA MIGHT BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT COULD BE SITTING ON A LAND MASS THAT WOULD POSSIBLY HOLD MORE ICE ABOVE GROUND.

THAT'S WHY I QUESTION IT. WATER LOSES ABOUT 10% OF SIZE AS IT MELTS. THAT SHOULD OFFSET ALMOST PERFECTLY IF THE GLACIER IS 85% UNDERWATER.

Bro you are maybe underestimating how much water is above sea level, there's so much ice sheets and also glaciers that go really high.

Right now, the glacier in question is spans 120 kilometers across, the glacier is roughly the size of Florida, and were the whole thing to fall into the ocean, it would raise sea levels by 65 centimeters, or more than two feet.

I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. IF ONLY THE ABOVE SEA LEVEL ICE MELTS, WE'RE SCREWED. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE THING.

That's a hoax.
Recycling does NOT help.

Death by fire or water. Choose wisely.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT. WATER LEVEL LOWERS WHEN ICE MELTS. FILL UP A GLASS WITH ICE. POUR WATER UNTIL ITS AT THE TOP. COME BACK IN 2 HOURS AND SEE THE WATER LEVEL DECREASE.

WATER EXPANDS WHEN IT FREEZES.

I NEED SOMEBODY TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS DIFFERENT FOR GLACIERS.

Check this out, just press play it starts exactly where it should.
Because when we talk about how much of a rise in sea levels, he talks about what that means.
Lemme know your thoughts

Are super mass pandemic bugs coming out of those glaciers?
