The subtitle of that article says "Not clear whether human-caused global warming is to blame, experts say." And that's putting it mildly since the effect is mostly local, not a reflection of a global rise, even by its own claims (which say that this rise is 4 times as much as the world wide average). The picture at the link fits a very alarmist scenario, but the data? Not so much. "Global sea level rise averaged about 0.6 to 1 millimeter annually over the same period." 1 mm a year is in the short to mid-term "don't worry about it" range, and for the long term its "we can deal with it without much difficulty".
