Yes, that's the article I was thinking of, good find!
Agreed the extrapolation is debatable.
What is most astounding to me is that they are able to measure not just an increase of 3mm a year in sea levels by satellite, but that the data are precise enough that they can determine the change in this rate. The precision of the instrumentation and processing required to measure to that level of precision is astounding.
