Thwaites is putting about 50 billion tons of ice into the water a year.

茨冰川每向水中放入大约500亿吨冰。

Wahlin said " Thwaites is the main reason I would say that we have so large an uncertainty in the projections of future sea level rise" .

" 我们对未来海平面上升的预测存在如此大的不确定性，我想说主要原因在思茨冰川身上。"

Thwaites said fossil fuel industry aid " reached an all-time high last year, over $1 trillion, driven by the war in Ukraine and the resulting energy price spikes."

茨说，受乌克兰战争及其导致的能源价格飙升的影响，去石燃料行业的援助金额“达到了历史最高水平，超过了1万亿”。

Thwaites " looks different from other ice shelves, " Wahlin said.

瓦林说，茨冰川" 看起来与其他冰架不同" 。

University of Colorado ice scientist Ted Scambos said from the McMurdo land station last month that the conditions driving Thwaites' ice loss are increasing.

科罗拉多大学冰川科学家泰德·坎博上个月在麦克默多陆地站表示，导致茨冰川融的条件正在增加。

Tulaczyk and others caution that glacial engineering would never be a silver bullet. Even if it saves Thwaites or other glaciers in Antarctica, it may not preserve glaciers in the Arctic, where temperatures are warmer.

图拉克兹和其他人提醒说，冰川工程绝非万能之策。即便它能拯救思茨冰川或其他南极冰川，也可能无法保护北极的冰川，因为那里的气温更高。

If Thwaites were to collapse, it would release enough ice to trigger disastrous sea-level rise across the globe. And even if humans stop releasing climate-warming gases in the near future, this still might not prevent a collapse.

如果思茨冰川发生崩塌，它将释放出足够的冰量，引发全球范围内的灾难性海平面上升。即便人类在不久的将来停止排放导致气候变暖的气体，这仍可能无法阻止冰川的崩塌。
