A recent study, published by PNASNews, has revealed that the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, often referred to as the 'Doomsday Glacier' due to the dire implications of its potential collapse, has been retreating since the 1940s, a much earlier start than previously thought. This retreat was initiated by natural climate variability, specifically a significant El Niño event in the 1940s. The findings challenge the prevailing climate narrative, as highlighted by AP's Seth Borenstein (@borenbears), that human-induced climate change is the sole cause of the glacier's retreat, highlighting the role of natural phenomena in climate variability.

Antarctica's "Doomsday" Glacier has been rapidly retreating since the 1940s, decades earlier than first thought. And it was likely kickstarted by a strong El Niño event, according to a @PNASNews study. Here's why all eyes are on this glacier. https://t.co/7ATjc6Q9fZ https://t.co/6C9GTqtDeu
A new study contradicted the climate narrative yesterday, reporting that the so-called 'Doomsday glacier' started retreating because of an El Niño 80 years ago. https://t.co/PvCHANiXOt Although the AP's Seth Borenstein @borenbears has hysteriated about the 'Doomsday glacier'… https://t.co/wR6Xrx0khQ

'Doomsday glacier' climate narrative wrecked by new study. Natural variability (a 1940s El Niño event) kicked off the ongoing Thwaites (so-called 'Doomsday') glacier retreat: "The glacier retreat in the Amundsen Sea was initiated by natural climate variability in the 1940s .… https://t.co/ziAxHvTuXh
