Summary

The world’s widest glacier – Thwaites glacier in Antarctica – is already collapsing at an alarming rate due to ocean warming, with worrying implications for global sea-level rise. Now, a new study shows that it will continue to lose ice for at least the next 150 years, even under the impossible scenario of extremely cool oceans. This means that future ice loss from the glacier is unavoidable, even under the most optimistic climate mitigation scenarios.
