almost two millimeters per year today compared to one millimeter annually for the past several thousand years

To put this in perspective if true, there are 25.4 millimeters to one inch. Roughly, it would take, at 2 mm a year, 12 years to rise one foot. I find it hard to believe that the ocean has been rising for past several thousand years at least 1 mm per year. In 2000 years at 1 mm per year, that would amount to an 80 foot rise. Am I missing something here?

Actually about 12 years to rise one inch. 2 mm/year x 12years = 24mm....just shy of an inch.
