To be thorough: AR5 says extreme high sea level sea is "likely" to have been observed since 1970 but has an X under "Attribution" - very low attribution of this to climate change. However it is "extremely likely" to be seen from 2050-2100.
Sea level increases have been with us since before mankind starts really pumping out the gasses. It's the recent changes that they feel are due to new melting, and the thought is that the rate of change will increase. Science is mixed on whether that has been happening already, hence the X.
I saw that some scientists from the Netherlands believe the sea floor is changing due to higher water levels. 1/3 of the Netherlands is under sea level so they have an interest in understanding it. A deep interest, lol.
