Given the stakes I don’t really think it’s hyperbole but we can agree to disagree, at this point climate alarmism can’t hurt. I personally feel like scientists often fail to communicate the severity of climate change to the public. “Doomsday glacier” is snappy and has a better chance at remaining in the public consciousness and having people understand the stakes

We are talking about over a billion climate refugees by 2050, what % of those people will be from the coastline idk but we are talking about an 1/8th of the worlds population being displaced. Being 30m above sea level is not gonna be enough to escape the environmental and social consequences, even if your property is fine. I don’t think sea level rise will be the end of civilization, climate change however very possible.
