........That would be STEADY state sea level rise. Then when you take into consideration HIGH TIDES, storm surges, and Hurricanes, you have a very LARGE problem. By 2100 Sarasota could be washed away and Tampa could be a swamp.
.........Now, what if we add in population growth (or explosion) in the world. That means more cars, and large trucks operating. We can add more factories - therefore more pollution. Thus more HEAT reflected from the upper atmosphere.
.........Then, there is sure to be some more wars - maybe WW3 and more pollution given off.
..........The bottom line is that TODAY we need to build and BUY more EVs and E-golf carts and find some way to lower the projected world population numbers. Failure to do those things will SEVERELY hurt the next and future generations.

I was using the highest actual rate and got 5" raise in 26 years, projected to 2100 would be about 15 inches.
Your doomsday projection must be assuming that all of the dollars spent TODAY for green energy does not work. If it did work, you would expect that the rate would be lower.
We are talking mm of sea raise per year i.e. 3mm a year for the last 100 plus years, not 1 inch plus per year .
