There are local sea level rises due to the shifting of ocean currents. If you look at a chart of the changes you can see that the rises are not at all even.The overall global sea level hasn't changed in thousands of years. The amount of water on planet Earth hasn't changed significantly at all.
There is much more water UNDER the surface than there is above it.

Sea levels have certainly risen over the thousands of years, even hundreds. It’s not due to an increase in the amount of water...nor is it due to the warming cycle over the last few decades, or century and a half. It’s much longer term, as the oceans are huge.
