Greenland ice tipping point 'further off than thought'

From Guardian:

The giant Greenland ice sheet may be more resistant to temperature rise than experts realised. The finding gives hope that the worst impacts of global warming, such as the devastating floods depicted in Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth, could yet be avoided.

In other words, these people have worse record in predicting anything than me throwing a dice in the air and they want out. Furthermore, it doesn't sound like there is a scientific consensus even among "experts" (that is, not counting atomic physicists like Will Happer of Princeton). So, exactly why are we throwing money at this non-existent problem?

Maybe I should get a grant to look for a bogeyman in my bedroom—that would be at least as useful as what these climatologists do, looking for Al Gore's manbearpigs.
