No reasonable climate scientist predicted there would be a 1.5 meter rise within the past 30 years. Ocean levels have risen only 20 cm in the past century, and the IPCC projections do not exceed 60 cm for the next century.

These projections are considered to be fairly conservative by many groups. The US NRC projects a 0.5 to 2 meter rise by 2100.

Even the IPCC projects eventual sea level rise of 4 to 6 meters in the ensuing centuries, however.
