"The NASA study supports previous research suggesting that Antarctica’s ice shelves are melting at a rate much faster than previously anticipated. In March, research published in Science highlighted the accelerating loss of ice from most of Antarctica’s ice shelves. The melting was most pronounced in the West Antarctic, where losses increased by nearly 70 percent in the last decade. If all the ice that sits on the West Antarctic bedrock is allowed to flow into the ocean, global sea level could rise by nine feet"

Of course, the northern glacial melt is double what it was, too. The rising waters increase migration and conflict, and the vulnerability of the USA's east coast to the La Palma slide that is due at anytime. Also, the west coast, to the effects of Cascadia, also due. Either of these events could trigger collapse.
