Flooding in Greece, Thailand (etc), strong storms are "a new normal"...DJ-More fitting with the 2,76C above pre-industrial then the "political lie of keeping it under 1,5C"...
Doomsday Glacier collapse! Time for MORE human intervention??
Antarctica is collapsing! BUT it's a game of two halves. East Antarctica is pretty solid but the West Antarctic ice sheet is perched precariously on islands and held back by huge glaciers the size of small countries. Those glaciers are rapidly giving way, and when they go, we've got a problem! Some scientists reckon we should radically intervene. But are they right?
DJ-(Sea)Ice is keeping Earth "cool"...and the ice is melting high speed...We had 26C in France a few days ago...it is supposed to be winter there...
Like with pandemics and wars also in climate "those in power" do NOT want to see even basic risks...Will that go wrong ? YES !!!
The speed of collapse may depend a.o. on methane release...I expect major bursts of methane-alse as a seismic-major-event any day...Such a "burp" will cause tsunami's from the Arctic region..
We live in "interesting times" !

At, or shortly before, the time of the Second Storegga Slide, a land bridge known to archaeologists and geologists as Doggerland linked Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands across what is now the southern North Sea. This area is believed to have included a coastline of lagoons, marshes, mudflats and beaches, and to have been a rich hunting, fowling and fishing ground populated by Mesolithic human cultures.[8][9][10]
Although Doggerland was permanently submerged through a gradual rise in sea level, it has been hypothesized that coastal areas of both Britain and mainland Europe, extending over areas which are now submerged, would have been temporarily inundated by a tsunami triggered by the Storegga Slide. This event would have had a catastrophic impact on the Mesolithic population at the time.[11][12][13] It is estimated that up to a quarter of the Mesolithic population of Britain lost their lives.[14]
Geological history is using another time-line...8,000-9,000 years ago is "far away" in human memory-very recent in Earth history...(and there are MANY stories like the Doggerland one...).
