How do we know that sea rise is not actually land sinking?

No - Seal level rise IS related to (local) land levels fallings.
But the longest term analysis corrects for the rising areas. (Some land is falling - particularly when underground water/oil is pumped out, some rising as earlier glacier loads were removed after the last ice age.)
The key in this “alarmist-press-release” is that ALL the numbers are “fears” and “might be” - the actual levels are going up less than 1 mm per year.

Most of the Canadian land mass is still rising — from having been pushed into the magma by a two-mile thick ice sheet; up to the beginning of the current warming phase (about 8,000 years ago).

Actually, the northern part of the US and Canada is rising, having been squished for thousands of years by glaciers.
