I gave an average over a period of time for a reason. Sea level is pretty variable on a short time scale. Much of the rise prior to the 1980s was thought to be thermal expansion of the upper layers of the oceans. But, that was when it was rising about 1.5mm a year. It has accelerated since then, probably due to sub-polar and mountain glaciers. Since the Greenland ice sheet and the WAIS are also known to be melting at an increasing rate...

Actually, I have read peer reviewed papers on the subject. Here are a few.
