Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

Last September, a melting glacier collapsed, sending the mountaintop it propped up careening into the Dickson Fjord in East Greenland. The impact created a 650-foot tall tsunami — twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty — which crashed back and forth between the steep, narrow walls of the channel, booming so loud that the vibrations wrapped the globe in a 90-second interval pulse for 9-straight days.

Maybe it’s just weather, but I’m putting it here.

Climate change is increasingly predisposing polar regions to large landslides. Tsunamigenic landslides have occurred recently in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), but none have been reported from the eastern fjords. In September 2023, we detected the start of a 9-day-long, global 10.88-millihertz (92-second) monochromatic very-long-period (VLP) seismic signal, originating from East Greenland. In this study, we demonstrate how this event started with a glacial thinning–induced rock-ice avalanche of 25 × 106 cubic meters plunging into Dickson Fjord, triggering a 200-meter-high tsunami. Simulations show that the tsunami stabilized into a 7-meter-high long-duration seiche with a frequency (11.45 millihertz) and slow amplitude decay that were nearly identical to the seismic signal. An oscillating, fjord-transverse single force with a maximum amplitude of 5 × 1011 newtons reproduced the seismic amplitudes and their radiation pattern relative to the fjord, demonstrating how a seiche directly caused the 9-day-long seismic signal. Our findings highlight how climate change is causing cascading, hazardous feedbacks between the cryosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere.

Climate change has been going on for 4.5 billion years and will go on for 4 billion or so more.

How ,much of the climate change we're experiencing now is anthropogenic? Since you know so much about science, please enlighten us.

Looks like FL is gonna get hit by a biggie

NONE!

The whole thing is a scam and shakedown. You want to believe people who say how we need to cut down on CO2 while they fly private jets and live in mansions feel free to be a sucker. Just quit demanding laws to make the rest of us do so.

Not even a 0.5% change in CO2 is supposedly causing all this? Does not pass the smell test.

What other science tips you have for us? Gonna go after handwashing now?
