A new and radical climate change plan has surfaced that hopes to use underwater curtains to slow the Doomsday glacier's melting.
Scientists have come up with yet another radical climate change plan that they hope will save us from one of the most immediate catastrophic scenarios presented to us by global warming. The plan centers around the 'doomsday glacier,' or the Thwaites glacier, which could raise sea levels exponentially if it melts. The reason that the glacier is referred to as the doomsday glacier is because it currently acts as a shield for other glaciers found in the colder parts of our world.
The curtains would stretch 62 miles along the bottom of the seabed, and John Moore, the glaciologist and geoengineering researcher behind the idea, says it could actually work. There's just one big problem: he's going to need $50 billion to make it happen. Moore previously suggested a similar idea that involved building a massive wall to block warm water from getting to the glacier.
