This is misleading. Let's look at the actual charts of nearby measuring stations.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8656483 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... 3.36mm/year, flat since the 1950s.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8652587 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
5.37mm/year, very new station, but still looks flat.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8651370 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
4.78mm/year, flat since the 1970s.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8638610 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... Further away station, 4.74mm/year, flat since the 1920s.
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8658120 https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
Further away station, 2.61mm/year, flat since the 1930s.
Climate alarmism about rising seas is battered into our heads every single day without fail, but when we go to check the data, what we see is very slow rates of rise, and totally flat charts going back as far as the 1850s. Where is the acceleration? Where is the upward curvature in the charts? Where is all that glacier meltwater going?
Please, stop helping to fan the flames of irrational fear.
