> There were decades where the temperate never rose. What, you expect a perfect line without variation? Accumulating a lot of cumulative temperature increase is the signal we're looking for... > The goal post keeps moving and we still aren't under water. Significant sea level rise has always been decades out. You look back to early 80's papers, and the consensus was that you'd get 13-55cm of sea level rise by 2025; we've gotten about 15cm (a bit above the low end of the range), but the current slope is now pretty close to the middle of the range. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Projecting_Future_Sea_Level_Rise/c1Hls8bvKT8C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=extrapolate+the+sea-level+rise+to+the+year+2000&pg=PA39&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false https://www.google.com/books/edition/Projecting_Future_Sea_L...
