Greenland ice melt IS NOT factored into the sea level rise calculations published by the IPCC.

What's even more of a concern is that ice calving is not factored into the ice loss calculations, apparently. It's known that the ice has been calving faster in the last decade or so and ice loss in this manner is increasing, so how much water Greenland is really losing is anyone's guess...
