I don't read it that way. They didn't "feel the need" to add anything except a correction factor justified by published research. I think this article is making a major mountain out of a minor molehill. Even the scientist interviewed said it was essentially trivial.

And are they calling a lawyer and an atmospheric scientist "experts" on sea level rise? Are they "under fire" from anyone other than a lawyer-activist from the Heartland Institute? This is all rather sensationalist.

Long time no see. If an inch per century is a molehill being made into a mountain, then the current inch per decade of sea level rise from warming is like turning a small snowbank into a glacier. Or like turning a fairly solid glacier into loose slush.
