TL;DR Summary

The Thwaites glacier, also known as the 'doomsday glacier,' is at risk of collapsing, which could lead to catastrophic sea level rise. To prevent this, geoengineers are developing a $50 billion project involving the installation of gigantic underwater curtains to block warm seawater from reaching and melting the glacier. While some experts advocate for cutting carbon emissions as the primary solution, proponents of glacial geoengineering argue that immediate intervention is necessary to prevent irreversible damage.
