Co-author Professor Eelco Rohling, from the Australian National University and formerly of the University of Southampton, adds: «By developing a novel method that realistically approximates future sea level rise, we have been able to add new insight to the debate and show that there is substantial evidence for a significant
recent acceleration in the sea level rise on a global and regional level.
I can not see why people are tring to kick up the most almighty panic on these trends especially when this is combined with no
visible acceleration in sea level rise to anywhere near the levels predicted by the models.
A similar pattern seems to have occurred during the 20th century too - short - term accelerations and decelerations against a background of long -
term acceleration in sea level rise.
StatIstically, I don't think that there is «proof» that
acceleration in sea level rise, though there is some evidence that it * may * be happening.
This acceleration in sea level rise is consistent with a doubling in contribution from melting of glaciers, ice caps and the Greenland and West - Antarctic ice sheets.
In 1990, the IPCC said there was no convincing evidence of
an acceleration in sea level rise during the 20th century.
Satellite Data Show
No Acceleration In Sea Level Rise Over Past 25 Years Image: NASA Earth Observatory (public domain) Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt today here are asking how sea level rise is doing because as have not heard much about it lately.
Finally NOAA 2016 updated coastal sea level rise tide gauge data shows
no acceleration in sea level rise along the California coastline or anywhere else despite false claims by the UN IPCC that man made emissions have been increasing rates of sea level rise since the 1970's.
And certainly
no acceleration in sea level rise for more than 150 years.
