The article doesn't even mention the effect of gravity, which is also significant. Ocean water is currently gravitationally attracted to the ice caps, and when an ice cap disappears, all that "bunched up" water will spread around the globe. This effect reduces sea level rise in a large area around the ice cap, and increases it everywhere else. This other article in The Guardian does mention it: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2018/... |
