A bold $80-billion plan could change the future of our coastlines forever. Scientists are proposing a massive 62-mile underwater barrier near Antarctica to slow the melting of the infamous Thwaites Glacier, often called the “Doomsday Glacier.” The idea is to block warm ocean currents that are eating away at the ice from below, potentially preventing catastrophic sea level rise. If it works, this megaproject could protect millions of people living in vulnerable coastal cities around the world. Watch now to see how this ambitious plan could reshape the fight against climate change.
