I actually read the link DRAY, and this 'unanticipated' increase of 'melt' is more serious than the report wants to acknowledge.
To suggest this will NOT exponentially increase from now on, is a cop out.,, and they know it, given the phrasing. They don't say ..it will go on at or greater than this rate , but say that it MIGHT NOT.

They felt obliged to soften the NEWS.

Tho I suspect many of us 'understand' that we are in for a hell of a ride.. many are too browbeaten, and hopeful for a last minute rescue,
to really INVEST in it.

Hey.. 'forget trying not to panic people'...to those in 'authority'..

.....
how about getting on with some real educating.
