If you go to the following two sites: https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sealevel.html https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/The paper's prediction was based on NOAA's "extreme" global scenario which results in an estimated 1 foot rise every 15 years. NOAA has a visualization tool for their model: https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/ For example, their predictions for Miami, Florida for the year 2030 range from .49 feet to 1.35 feet depending upon the scenario. Regardless, they predict quite a bit faster rise than 2-4 mm per year. It seems that NOAA thinks that, assuming various scenarios, sea-level is rising faster than it has in the past.
