Question

Is there a chance that global warming will cause sudden displacement of huge ice masses to effect a tsunami?

Answer 1

No. Any displacement of ice due to global warming would be gradual and not sudden. All those pictures of ice falling into the Ocean are just normal seasonal melting that has always occurred every summer, even before global warming started. These events do not cause tsunamis.

Answer 2

Honestly I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet! Global warming is melting tons of soft water quickly and sometimes it's big masses that breaks away! Check the movie Inconvenient Truth if you haven't already, the pictures are impressive.

Answer 3

Extremely small, not worth worrying about.

There are big problems with global warming, coastal flooding, drought, damage to agriculture.  We need to focus on these.

Answer 4

yes ,the same way that a large land mass sliding in to the sea can cause a mega tsunami

,as is expected from the philipines ,A wave 25 meters high ,which will hit the east coast of the USA ,but nobody knows when.

Answer 5

NO as most of the ice u are talking about is floating and that means 4/5 of it is already under the water.
