Is that like Al Gore's prophecies from at least a decade ago claiming that certain cities would be underwater by now?

Al Gore does not represent the scientific community. If you're looking for up-to-date info, you should read the IPCC's recently finished AR6 report^1, which combines together 13,500 research citations to evaluate estimate ranges for impacts like sea level rise and coastal erosion.

^1: AR6 report: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/

AR4 report (2018) has more info about sea level rise specifically: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ar4-wg2-chap...
