Extreme weather (like the extreme rain we are seeing right now all around the world) may turn those views into reality this very decade, at least for some particular day. Sea rise will take time, extreme weather is happening now, and becoming more frequent and destructive.
Specifically, the section “projection” covers how much the sea level is expected to rise by 2100:
> GMSL will rise between 0.43 m (0.29–0.59 m, likely range; RCP2.6) and 0.84 m (0.61–1.10 m, likely range; RCP8.5) by 2100 (medium confidence) relative to 1986–2005. Beyond 2100, sea level will continue to rise for centuries due to continuing deep ocean heat uptake and mass loss of the GIS and AIS and will remain elevated for thousands of years (high confidence). Under RCP8.5, estimates for 2100 are higher and the uncertainty range larger than in AR5. Antarctica could contribute up to 28 cm of SLR (RCP8.5, upper end of likely range) by the end of the century
