There are clearly some problems in comparing
tide gauge and satellite
data, and of course, satellites can have their problems (cf. MSU
data), but the quoted numbers don't support the actual statement at all — though it would be fairer to say that the satellites are consistent with a recent
rise in the rate, rather than a proof that it is occurring.

Although the

Different approaches have been used to compute the mean rate of 20th century global mean sea level (GMSL)
rise from the available
