That would likely mean that also the official UN climate goal of limiting the average world temperature rise to no more than 2 degrees Celsius — a target linked to 450 ppm CO2 equivalent stabilisation scenarios (practically ambitious, theoretically weak)-- will eventually lead to many meters of global sea level rise.

I suppose by that you mean there's an assumption that increased «forcing» is somehow «pushing» more heat into the sub-700 meter level.

DK12 used ocean heat content (OHC) data for the upper 700 meters of oceans to draw three main conclusions: 1) that the rate of OHC increase has slowed in recent years (the very short timeframe of 2002 to 2008), 2) that this is evidence for periods of «climate shifts», and 3) that the recent OHC data indicate that the net climate feedback is negative, which would mean that climate sensitivity (the total amount of global warming in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, including feedbacks) is low.

Yet were the mean level of the seas to rise or fall by half a meter, it would alter coasts, and costs, and ecosystems, throughout the world.

A policymaker will take this as meaning that sea level rise is probably going to be less than a meter even if CO2 increases to 936 ppm, in other words, policymakers will take this «objective stuff» as serious, reliable estimates of what to expect.
