Maybe not catastrophic failure of the entire ice sheet, but the report doesn't exactly refute the notion that there could be significant melting and sea level rise.

Bamber said the new study was only concerned with the tipping point at which melting becomes unstoppable. It does not mean that Greenland will not contribute to increased sea level rise if temperatures increase by a few degrees.

"I'm not saying that if you have a temperature rise of 2C then you're not going to lose mass from Greenland, because you are. You warm the planet, ice melts," he added.
