There has to be an obvious and simple flaw in the using of lower troposphere satellite temperatures at 3,000 m elevation to guesstimate actual surface polar temperatures.

In the hothouse conditions of the mid-Cretaceous (80 - 100 My), tropical temperatures are thought to have increased relatively little (there is dispute about how much), while polar temperatures increased by a huge amount (maybe 20 °C).

However, palaeoclimatic evidence (Denman et al., 2007 Sections 6.4.3.2 and 6.4.3.3; Overpeck et al., 2006; Otto - Bliesner et al., 2006) suggests that Greenland and possibly the WAIS contributed to a sea - level rise of 4 - 6 m during the last interglacial, when polar temperatures were 3 - 5 °C warmer, and the global mean was not notably warmer, than at present (Meehl et al., 2007 Sections 10.7.4.3 and 10.7.4.4).

My intuition is that the abnormal warming of the poles will continue, so a 5C rise in global temperature would mean perhaps a 15C rise in polar temperatures, and that should be able to melt Greenland in short order.
