Because current thinking is that those scenarios are really under forecasting the sea level rise. You will see higher levels come the 5th IPCC report.

So, they are over forecasting temps and under forecasting sea levels? Hmmm.

Except they are not over forecasting temps at all. Current temps are well within the range of warming forecast. On the other hand, sea level rise to date is above what has been forecast.

Of course if you cherry pick the few studies or predictions that are on the very high end of what most people think, you can say anything you like about what "they" predict.

The joys of cherry-picking data. It becomes easy to lie about things.
