NEW YORK CITY, KOMPAS.com – Global warming triggers the melting of the layers glacier faster. The impact could be catastrophic for human survival.
The scenario of a climate doomsday in the future is depicted dramatically in the film The Day After Tomorrow which was released in 2004.
Melted eternal ice sheet of Arctic Pole and South Pole Earth is triggered by heating up the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic currents, in that film triggers tsunami which drowned New York City and the surrounding area, which at the same time killed millions of people.
Sounds exaggerated? But reality shows that shrinking glacial layers in Alaska in 2015 triggered massive landslides and a massive tsunami 200 meters high when it hit the coast.
Not many people care and almost no coverage, because the disaster occurred in a remote area that is not inhabited by humans.
This means that if the catastrophic rupture of trillions of tonnes of ice sheet due to global warming does not have a direct impact on humans, hardly anyone will care.
If only a few small islands in the Pacific ocean are sinking, it is not considered a global problem.

Chain effect
Keep in mind, if the eternal ice sheet or glaciers on Earth that cover 10 percent of Earth’s soil layer melted very quickly, it would trigger a chain effect, as reported. DW Indonesia on Wednesday (24/3/2021).
To establish the context for the melting of this eternal ice sheet, scientists note that the rate of shrinkage of the perpetual ice sheet has increased by nearly 60 percent since the 1990s.
If stressed by the numbers, it includes 28 trillion tonnes of perennial ice sheet melted from 1994 to 2017.
