Accelerating

  But it hasn't. Sea level rise and extreme weather events are not on an accelerating trend. Hurricanes for example. Fires in the twenties and forties were much worse. North America is greener now more than ever in the last two hundred years.

    "Between 1901 and 2018, the average global sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), or 1–2 mm per year.[1] This rate is increasing; sea levels are now rising at a rate of 3.7 mm (0.146 inches) per year.[2] " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise sources are 1: IPCC, 2019: Summary for Policymakers 2: IPCC, 2021: Summary for Policymakers seems credible?

      That 3.7mm per year is dubious. But, yeah sure I'll even give you that, and it's easily manageable over that time frame. More from your source: "" If global warming is limited to 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), then sea level rise does not accelerate, but it would still amount to 2–3 m (7–10 ft) over the next 2000 years, while 19–22 metres (62–72 ft) would occur if the warming peaks at 5 °C (9.0 °F)
