EPA put out a report in 1984 that sea level rise would be at a minimum 1 foot higher in 30 years, and they actually thought it would be about 2 feet higher. It continued to rise at the global rate of 2-3mm/yr (about 3 1/2 inches in 30 years). The report is now buried. (Titus, 1984) What is funny is that the lead author of the report was an economist, I believe (definitely not a scientist).
