Sea level change is about 5mm per year, but those deep ocean trenches where the plates join are at depths measured in miles. Percentage change? not fricking much. If the earth's crust is that that, err un-crusty, then we're in deep trouble.
Here's an idea; How about pumping all that nasty CO2 into actual greenhouses, so plants can grow quicker/bigger? Which they do in high CO2 environments. (But you do have to add lots of dihydrogen monoxide)
The precautionary principal isn't a zero sum game either. How many people DIED in Australia last year because what they had was expensive desalination plants when what they needed was cheap damns.
Instead, I'll carry on worrying about where all the heavy metals go from all the batteries we throw away.
