Yup.

This is the second from last paragraph in that paper:
Quote:
There is a need to urgently reduce the emission of greenhouse gases if we are to avoid the most extreme sea-level rise scenarios. A major question is whether we will pass a critical point during the 21st century that will lead to an ongoing and, possibly irretrievable, melting of the Greenland or west Antarctic ice sheets and a sea-level rise of several metres. Our current understanding of ice-sheet dynamics is insufficient to predict whether any such large rise would occur in a few centuries or over many centuries to millennia.
