the sea level rise apparently came from other sources
Which sea level rise?

This is the global mean. Rise measured at any given actual shoreline will be different and sometimes even falling, due to local geology altering elevations of land at not-dissimilar rates in some areas (especially areas where post-glacial rebound is still occurring) as well as thermal expansion being uneven.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
