Sea levels are rising at 2-3mm a year. That's about a foot of sea level rise per century, assuming some combination of AMO negative phase, PDO negative phase, volcanic activity, geomagnetic reversal, increased cosmic rays and subsequent cloud cover due to increased nucleation and grand solar minimum due in the coming decades doesn't kick off a cooling trend that causes a mini ice age to set in and sea levels to fall, of course.

I was surprised by your affirmation, as I had the (apparently wrong) assumption that sea levels would increase by at least a few meter in the century.
However, the IPCC (UN group in charge of research for climate change) does predict an increase of ~0.2 to 0.5m (basically a foot) of the sea level in the next century.

Subsidence of lands under glaciers limits sea level rising, but not equally on the earth surface
I don't understand how subsidence of land under glaciers limits sea level rise, could you explain it more?

Let's try this: If both sea level and ground level move, what their interaction is locally isn't the same as the difference of the global averages.
