    This isn’t CCS. This is damage control, for when PIG and Thwaites have melted off, the entire West Antarctic ice shield will melt irreversibly as well (missing shelf buttressing leads to melting). This will happen either way (https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1512482112), but the timespan varies between short or 13kya. Flattening the curve, remember?
