Cramer said sea levels were set to rise up to two centimetres (0.8 inches) per year, enough to devastate large swathes of fragile coastline, especially in low-lying and densely populated deltas.

Interesting. About what time is this supposed to start?

Well, if you read the article, it basically says that it would start when/if the Greenland Ice Cap starts melting at an accelerated rate. Tbey don't specify a time for that other than it could potentially happen this century. Or next. Or not.

IN case you think I'm being glib:

Greenland glacier crack points to disintegration

I recommend reading the text. The pictures were from July, as you can see, the first linked article from 4 days ago.
