Human activity is responsible for a few mm of sea level rise at this point...
Sure globally it’s mm/year but the Earth isn’t a flat plate sitting on your table that’s had a few extra drops of water dripped on it.
Thanks to thermal expansion, melting ice, and the slowing of the Gulf Stream causes water to backup around the East Coast. Those areas have seen sea level rise of 5 inches over 2011-2015 or an inch per year

Drastic increases in coastal flooding is occurring all over the East Coast.
Nice of you to admit though that Al Gore was right about sea level rise.
