The first thing they did was to add in a 0.3 mm / year «
Global Isostatic Adjustment» (GIA) to their satellite data.
Statistically significant trends obtained from records longer than 40 years yielded sea - level - rise estimates between 1.06 — 1.75 mm / yrear - 1, with a regional average of 1.29 mm yr - 1, when corrected for
global isostatic adjustment (GIA) using model data, with a regional average of 1.29 mm - 1..
In fact, so slowly has sea level been rising that environmental - extremist scientists have tampered with the raw data by adding an imagined (and imaginary) «
global isostatic adjustment», torturing the data until they show a rate of sea - level rise that has not in reality occurred.

«These new results indicate that relative sea levels in New Zealand have been rising at an average rate of 1.6 mm / yr over the last 100 years — a figure that is not only within the error bounds of the original determination, but when corrected for glacial -
isostatic effects has a high level of coherency with other regional and
global sea level rise determinations.

Vertical land movements such as resulting from glacial
isostatic adjustment (GIA), tectonics, subsidence and sedimentation influence local sea level measurements but do not alter ocean water volume; nonetheless, they affect
global mean sea level through their alteration of the shape and hence the volume of the ocean basins containing the water.
To assess these implications, we translate
global into local SLR projections using a model of spatial variation in sea - level contributions caused by
isostatic deformation and changes in gravity as the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets lose mass (36 ⇓ — 38), represented as two
global 0.5 ° matrices of scalar adjustment factors to the ice sheets» respective median
global contributions to SLR and (squared) to their variances.
This study showed that the formal errors may not capture the true uncertainty in either regional or
global ocean mass trends, particularly with regards to the glacial
isostatic correction used.
The
global mean sea level trend is corrected for the Glacial
Isostatic Adjustment using the ICE5G - VM2 GIA model (Peltier, 2004) to take into account the associated volume changes of the ocean.
We suggest that the resolution of this issue is consistent with our estimate of the approximately +7 m Holsteinian
global sea level, and is provided by Raymo & Mitrovica [58], who pointed out the need to make a glacial
isostatic adjustment (GIA) correction for post-glacial crustal subsidence at the places where Hearty and others deduced local sea - level change.
Global Mean Sea Level Change with a «Correction» of 0.3 mm / year added May, 5th 2011, due to a «Glacial
Isostatic Adjustment (GIA)» — 1993 to Present;
Measured GMSL was corrected for the effects of Glacial
Isostatic Adjustment with a
global model, which increased the GMSL rate by 0.25 mm / y (25).
The observed changes (lower panel; Trenberth and Fasullo 2010) show the 12 - month running means of
global mean surface temperature anomalies relative to 1901 — 2000 from NOAA [red (thin) and decadal (thick)-RSB- in °C (scale lower left), CO2 concentrations (green) in ppmv from NOAA (scale right), and
global sea level adjusted for
isostatic rebound from AVISO (blue, along with linear trend of 3.2 mm / year) relative to 1993, scale at left in mm).
