If events like these are "nearly impossible to predict", how come this post is linking to a scientific paper predicting exactly this scenario?

This flood is like The Big One in California. We know it is going to happen, it is virtually a certainty. The only question is when and where.

If glacial floods come as a surprise to you, it is only because you have been deliberately ignoring all the climate change warnings. So, a short recap: we'll see massive droughts, giant wildfires, huge floods due to rainfall, significantly more intense hurricanes, mass starvation due to large-scale crop failure, and low-lying countries drowning due to sea level rise. Oh, and add a high likelihood of the AMOC collapsing triggering a cooldown of the East Coast and Europe to the list.
