I'm sure this won't have irreversible negative consequences for all currently living species.

Extremely cold/dense water underneath Antarctic's floating/shelf glaciers sinks to the bottom & flows North. The sinking of the water pulls in more water under the glacier, and this interaction drives the system.
The deep cold currents split & keep heading North until they upwell in various places, and this helps to cool the environments in which these events occur.
The sudden collapse of a floating/shelf glacier would instantly shut off the system that keeps the water flowing. The upwelling may occur for a short time after, just from momentum, but the 'pressure' driving the system has been cut off.
The effected environments would suffer rapid heating; with attending biological disasters.

I mean there were supposed to be major floodings and mass crops failures back when I watched the news in 1995 and still those "Doomsday" events haven't kicked in. Sry guys, but you people just wait and push the doomsday date further and further into the future. Start thinking critically.

I think salinity levels also play a part.

Reply to comment by FlamingMothBalls in Russia Says Ukraine Using Long-Range US Artillery by TallAd3975
Well, the alternative plan he talked about where Ukraine walks across the swamp, the Syvash, is probably the best plan. I have not yet seen any detailed operational plans discussed anywhere else so I will not say it here. I suggest you look at the Siege of Perekop, where the Soviets walked across the swamp, the Syvash, to flank enemy positions and take them by surprise. I think it might be workable for light infantry. Nevertheless, the Soviets took heavy casualties in taking Crimea.

Damn! Well glad the botox helped and that you figure it out. I had a thing that only got into the medical journal two years ago so that one took a bit of time to figure out too.

Oh buddy, how about some home-made drones dispensing vx gas while it zooms around a populated city. That's doable for someone with a chemical and engineering background.

A court with out authority is not the "world's highest court". It holds the same weight as if I passed a judgement on China over youtube LOL

This is true but the same done today would have the benefit of 80 years of knowledge and all the advancement done in enriching uranium. Russia would probably sell both the uranium and the plutonium rn for cheap, considering the state they're in.

... I think peak emissions are still over a decade out...
Unfortunately everything based of rapid and severe cuts will probably be happening sooner than expected because our optimistic predictions are beyond reality.

You either have to pay more in retirement pension or work longer if your average lifespan keeps getting longer.
Because if you don’t you won’t be able to live on your pension when you are in retirement.
I get your reasoning but 62 is low for retirement age.

No tampering, just cross breeding varieties.
"To achieve this, scientists crossbred two species of tomatoes – a wild variety that comes all the way from the deserts of western Peru, with a common commercial cultivar that is widely available."

What I said is, it’s naive to think that what worked for a single country would work for the world.
Can you specify which proven crimes against humanity exactly? With proof of course because you sound very sure.
