The global sea-level rise could be up to 90cm higher (up to 1.9 m) than earlier estimates by 2100, according to the new study by NTU. Under the low-emissions scenario (1.8 C degree) sea levels are very likely to rise between 0.3m-1m (0.6, IPCC)

I guess the problem is that all the models and calculations are based on data from earth's past up to now.
What's ahead of us has never happened before though.
But: all of Northern Europe & America also melted back then where no ice is today
