What don't you understand about this fact:
Global sea level has fluctuated widely in the recent geologic past. It stood 4-6 meters above the present during the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, but was 120 m lower at the peak of the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago. A study of past sea level fluctuations provides a longer-term geologic context, which can help us better anticipate future trends.
It seems to me that if the sea levels were 4-6 meters higher in the last interglacial period, they could be expected to keep rising to that level again. Without the interference of mankind. The only effect mankind is having, is this process is being speeded up.
