This is a point that we need to think carefully. The melting projections are only as good as our understanding of our planet's systems. Just look at weather, are we really good at predicting it?
We have come a long way but if we are not certain about next week's weather, how do we know what chain reactions are going to start, that can in-turn melt Greenland (Antarctic, etc.) ice way faster?
We are literally scratching the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended). Our scientific models have changed recently and I am sure they will change again, soon. So why are we so sure that the melt will not accelerate to catastrophic levels?
