The Doomsday Glacier Just Passed The Point Of No Return — This Is What Comes Next

Could an earthquake or eruption reach your house? Check your address in an hour, and learn the first safe steps for your home: https://breakpointstore.net Scientists switched off the ocean melting beneath Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier in three separate computer models, and the so-called Doomsday Glacier kept losing ice for all 150 simulated years. That British Antarctic Survey result, published October 13, landed one day after a Nature Communications study found Thwaites could add about twice the sea-level rise earlier models projected by 2100, with a 60 percent chance of losing the undersea ridge that anchors it. The water it sheds travels north, toward American coastlines. What still nobody can say is how fast the retreat moves once that ridge lets go, and which signal will show it first. Breakpoint covers the moments when the Earth shifts — earthquakes, eruptions, severe weather, climate events, and the science behind the planet's biggest stories. Every video delivers the headlines, the data, and what comes next in twenty to twenty-five minutes. New videos three to four times a week.
