Several possible factors were cited for the disparity:

The models assume that half of the ice loss was due to increased greenhouse gases, but the study indicates those gases might play a significantly larger role.
Several models overestimate the thickness of the present-day sea ice.
The models might fail to fully capture changes in atmospheric and oceanic circulation that transport heat to polar regions.
