TLDR
Sea level rise @ 2 °C would give 40cm rise on Atlantic coast. 5 °C up to 1.8m.
Two degrees of global warming above our previous pre-industrial level is for the moment considered a level of
climate change which we will have to simply live with. It is by now unavoidable in other words since we have already as of October 2016 reached global average temperatures 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels.
Unless the world would go cold turkey today on fossil fuel and pollution, but not even that would keep us below that 2C warming as things are looking today.
This “2 °C” threshold is likely to be reached absolutely no later than 2040.
Amongst many other things, this will result in a substantial sea level rise which will of course not be globally uniform ( the sea is never globally uniform and never at a perfect global sea level even tho it look so ),
due to the oceans dynamic nature
and other aspects, such as gravity, associated with water mass redistribution on Earth.
Probable sea level rise projections for worldwide coastlines with warming
@ the 2 °C goal will by 2040 give more than 90% of all coastal areas a sea level
rise exceeding the global estimate of 0.2 m, with up to 0.4 m expected along the Atlantic coast of North America and Norway.
If we instead hit a warming of 5 °C, the ocean sea level would rise even more rapidly,
reaching 0.9 m globally, while 80% of the actual coastline will rise even further all the way to 1.8 m.
At this level, the world would have to adapt to a global sea level never seen since the dawn of the Bronze Age.

The Mouse In our Wall
We play in the snow, under the shooting star
Told to you, as I once told, a mind and girly soul, so beautiful.
Inside the walls of our homes, and lives. There are Undraped windows through which we see both in and out, and at night I look out and up with you.
A shooting star stirs and moves the northern lights. Like a spoon through water, it moves before our eyes. Clear as day yet slightly obfuscated through the sheets of glass, the world is silent and it could be a dream as I witness the star cut through the puffy clouds.
And at night.
Some other times, there we are, walking through life's small moments and we are holding hands.
Together, we stand outside having walked amongst the falling leafs and the subtle snow.
Rain or sunshine matters not.
Looking in, through the of night, all chilly frosty glass, the burning lamps the pleasant light and warmth that moves and lives inside.
Is it empty we ask out loud, or is there someone looking out? Back at us. Do they hear our silent minds, can they feel our burning soul and warming hands.
In between these two sides. Neither looking in or out. Or perhaps, they do them both all the time.
There live a gnarly little furry mouse that moves about with his love and all their friends.
At night, you can hear them talk and hug it out. They move, play and dart around, inside and outside the walls that people build. Sometimes they walk our floors, sitting near, our sleeping faces.
We kiss and make a cute little snowy angel. Your arms wisp around and I kiss your pretty lips, yet again.
And right there. In the corner of my eye. I swear the little mice sits right nearby. Looking out at us as we hug it out.
And perhaps he too thinks the very same. Looking out and about, at us and all the shooting stars.
