"In the 19th century, as the Industrial Revolution took hold, the ocean began to rise briskly, climbing about eight inches since 1880."

"The sea is rising at what appears to be an accelerating pace, lately reaching a rate of about a foot per century."

"That body [The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] found that continued high emissions might produce a rise in the sea of 1.7 to 3.2 feet over the 21st century."

It's all in there. Towards the bottom, so if you just skimmed you may miss it.
