Published: October 15, 2026 at 12:18p.m. EDTThe planet’s widest glacier is melting “more aggressively” than previously projected, meaning its impacts on global sea level rise could be double current estimates, according to new research by a team of glaciologists. Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica — nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier because of the catastrophe its collapse would trigger — is a huge wildcard when it comes to forecasting global sea level rise. The Florida-sized glacier, which lies in one of the least accessible places on Earth, has been retreating for decades and its melting ice currently contributes around four per cent to global sea level rise. But the mechanisms behind its retreat are exceptionally complex, making it tricky to precisely map out its future. It’s a vital task, however, as Thwaites holds enough water to raise sea levels by more than two feet if it were to collapse. Because it also acts as a cork holding back the vast Antarctic ice sheet, it could ultimately lead to around 10 feet of sea level rise, devastating coastal communities from Miami to Manila.

A group of Nova Scotians gathered on the waterfront in Halifax on Saturday with a message for Premier Tim Houston: allowing the construction of a large data centre will be detrimental to the environment and the community. “These companies don’t have a lot of information that they’re able to give us, we don’t know what this is gonna look like, we already have wells that are drying up in the summertime. I don’t think we can afford to do this,” Megan Boudreau, one of the protest organizers, told Global News. Energy and infrastructure company, EverWind, announced on Friday $10 billion in private investment in a data centre campus at its existing Point Tupper site. The site would be leased and run by AI development company Anthropic, the creator of the AI assistant Claude. “Canadians are using Claude in growing numbers, and we want our infrastructure to be closer to the people who rely on it,” said Jacob Glick, head of Canada Public Policy with Anthropic.
