Higher sea-level forecast [guesstimate] likely.

Sea levels will rise by twice as much as previously predicted as a
result of global warming, an important international study has
concluded.
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) calculated that
if temperatures continued to increase at the present rate, by 2100 the
sea level would rise by up to 1.4 metres — twice that predicted two
years ago.
The hope is that the median of 900 centimeters will be the max for
90 years. California plans on 2 meters, and Bali plans on 5 meters
as worse-case.
Such a rise in sea levels would engulf island nations such as the
Maldives in the Indian Ocean and Tuvalu in the Pacific, devastate
coastal cities such as Calcutta and Dhaka and force London, New York
and Shanghai to spend billions on flood defences.
Even if the average global temperature increases by only 2C sea levels
could still rise by 50cm, double previous forecasts, according to the
report.
That is an additional 50 cm, on top of the 16 cm already observed.
Ø False — There has been no observed rise in sea levels
How do you explain these then?
