Sea level rise is about to get a lot more immediate. When the Thwaites goes, the West Antarctic Ice Shelf follows. Once it's afloat, forget melted just floating, we'll see around 5 metres average sea level rise worldwide. Estimates and models say the new sea level will take about 12 days to stabilise globally.
It might be enough time to evacuate but not much else.
