Sea level paranoia: Why scientists want to build a wall along the ‘Doomsday Glacier’
Another round of alarmist fearmongering supposedly in the name of science, this time at the old favourite of the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica, which is in a region known to be loaded with underwater volcanoes. The plan is said to be ambitious, but some might say an 80 km wall in the ice tests the boundaries of sanity.

The ‘Doomsday Glacier’ already contributes four per cent of annual sea level rise, but can the consequences of climate change be barricaded off? – asks Euronews.
A global group of scientists, engineers and policy experts has unveiled an ambitious plan to build a wall along the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ as flooding fears continue to grow. [Talkshop comment – whose fears?]
Located on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, Thwaites Glacier earned its apocalyptical name due to its potential impact on sea levels. Covering a vast 192,000 km², making it comparable in size to Great Britain, the glacier is melting at an unprecedented rate due to human-fuelled climate change.
Already, four per cent of the world’s annual sea level rise is due to Thwaites’ current ice loss, as heat-trapping gases continue to bake the planet. [Talkshop comment – standard alarmist waffle].
If it were to collapse completely, sea levels could increase by a staggering 65cm. For every centimetre of sea level rise, around six million people on the planet are exposed to coastal flooding.
But can the consequences of climate change really just be barricaded off?
The Seabed Anchored Curtain Project aims to limit sea level rise by creating physical barriers that would protect ice sheets from warm ocean waters that flow beneath the fringing ice shelves. It argues that a reduction in greenhouse gases alone will not be enough to stabilise the ice sheet.
Researchers and engineers from Cambridge University, the University of Chicago, Alfred Wegener Institute, New York University, Dartmouth College, NIVA, Aker Solutions, and the University of Lapland’s Arctic Centre are teaming up to design a curtain around 152 metres tall and 80km long.
It’s a bold plan, one that will take years to achieve if it ever comes to fruition.
