They did punt on that.
Aren't 2 meter per century melt pulses rare?
Particularly rare after 8 thousand years or so of stable temperatures?
Of course, the soot is a new problem.
To get to 10%, we would have to discover that we are on the verge of a
melt pulse, I think.
I agree that we need to study the heck of of the ice sheets, since it
is probable enough, and there is no known way to reverse it.
