“The melting of glaciers is not a one-time process; melting occurs gradually.

Therefore, a one-time rise in the level of the World Ocean by 3 m will not occur. The Thwaites Glacier is not the only glacier on Earth, ”he said in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

According to him, the Earth is a very complex system, and one should not forget about the classical water cycle in nature.

As Pinaev noted, countries can take measures to minimize the consequences of rising sea levels.
