A very small increase in the temperature of the intruding water could lead to a very big increase in the loss of ice—tipping point behavior...triggered by temperature rises of just tenths of a degree, very likely by the rises expected in the coming decades.
Sea level rise, driven by ice loss due to seawater intrusion, poses a major long-term impact of the climate crisis, potentially putting cities like New York and Shanghai below sea level, affecting billions of people.
