"But their work suggests that future reductions of the Greenland ice sheet on the order of one metre per century are not out of the question." ; If Carlson's estimates are correct, they show that 2007 predictions made by the Intergovernmen tal Panel on Climate Change ? a sea-level rise of between 18 centimetres and 59 cm by 2100 ? are very conservative, as the IPCC acknowledged at the time.
