You've also failed to use the data properly and haven't corrected the gauge readings for post-glacial rebound, land build - up due to silt deposition, land elevation changes due seismic events, or subsidence due to ground water pumping or soil compaction, all factors that the PSMSL (your data source) says must be corrected before using the data.

While the local effects of ice albedo and land elevation change are huge (because the local forcings are huge, particularly for ice albedo), their widescale climate effects are limited by their location on land.

The data used in the study included more than 455,000 independent estimates of changes in the land elevation of the vast ice sheets covering Antarctica, both in the western part of the continent, where ice is melting more rapidly, and in the east, where the ice is considered to be more stable, for the time being at least.

Although the study did not find a significant change in the elevation of the interior East Antarctic Ice Sheet, it shows for the first time that the thinning of the Totten glacier in that region extends to the point where the ice meets the land surface below, known as the grounding line.

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.

A good scientist would have issued a correction something along the lines of «I missed the fact that tidal gauges are influenced strongly by local changes in land elevation due to river silt, human activity, post-ice age rebound, and earthquakes.

Changes in land elevation may occur in response to many processes, including mountainbuilding (tectonic) processes, or flow or bending of rocks caused by ongoing or past changes in loading from ice, water or sediment (isostatic chChanges in land elevation may occur in response to many processes, including mountainbuilding (tectonic) processes, or flow or bending of rocks caused by ongoing or past changes in loading from ice, water or sediment (isostatic chchanges in loading from ice, water or sediment (isostatic changeschanges).

In addition, compaction following removal of groundwater or fossil fuels, or possibly inflation from injection of fluids, may change land elevation (e.g., Bindoff et al., 2007; Sella et al., 2007).

With respect to Church et al 2008, you're neglecting to mention (or perhaps didn't read enough of the paper to notice) is that, unlike you're «eyeballing» method, they actually adjusted tidal gauges for changes in local land elevation before drawing any conclusions from unadjusted data.

Scientific confidence of the occurrence of climate change include, for example, that over at least the last 50 years there have been increases in the atmospheric concentration of CO2; increased nitrogen and soot (black carbon) deposition; changes in the surface heat and moisture fluxes over land; increases in lower tropospheric and upper ocean temperatures and ocean heat content; the elevation of sea level; and a large decrease in summer Arctic sea ice coverage and a modest increase in Antarctic sea ice coverage.
