Some scientists think it could happen in years, not decades. If Hawaii's harbors rose 10 feet in a short period of time..No.

[b]STATEMENT (added 1/31/2022):[/b]
Due to some inaccuracies in media coverage following our press release, the team would like to clarify the timeline of estimated impacts from the potential collapse of Thwaites Glacier. The “chain reaction,” beginning with the potential collapse of Thwaites’ Eastern Ice Shelf would set in motion a long-term process which would eventually result in global sea level rise. While the initial steps of ice shelf collapse, glacier speed-up, and increased ice-cliff failure might happen within a couple of decades, the “2 to 10 feet” of sea level rise will require centuries to unfold—and impacts can still be mitigated depending on how humans respond in coming decades..
