The lower Hudson Valley could see sea levels rise from 2 to 10 inches by the 2020s, the DEC said.
...water doesn't "Pile up" it seeks it's own level. For water to rise ten inches there it would have to rise ten inches on every interconnecting waterway on the planet. There isn't enough water available to do that.
EDITORIAL: Al Gore, soothsayer
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - - Monday, December 16, 2013
Five years ago, Al Gore predicted the North Pole’s ice cap would become a fond memory, a casualty of the raging inferno of global warming. The “entire North Polar ice cap will be gone in five years,” he solemnly told a German TV audience.
Mr. Gore’s deadline has passed, and neither Santa Claus, Rudolph and the other reindeer, nor the polar bears are looking for a life raft. There were 7.3 million square miles of Arctic ice on Dec. 7, 2008. Fast-forward five years, and there are still 7.3 million square miles of Arctic ice, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. This figure does go up and down with a natural cycle of melting and freezing, but the total today is within 5 percent of what it has been for the past 30 years

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
