But the global average rise in sea level is a chimera of many factors acting differently at various locations.

Wilmot McCutchen (26)-- We also know that during the previous interglacial, the Eemian, that global temperatures were about 2 K warmer than «at present», i.e., 1950s, and during that time considerable melt occurred in Greenland (and probably some of WAIS), resulting in a 4 — 6 m sea highstand (different in different locations).

Since sea level rise is variable, some locations getting more than the global average and getting less, it's entirely possible both have to be considered.

The supposed stable configuration of geography, with relatively predictable climate patterns, coastlines and icepacks in familiar locations, and clear demarcations of territorial control on land are increasingly dubious assumptions as weather patterns change, sea levels rise and ice packs disintegrate while technological innovations, communications and global markets cause rapid fluctuations in the price in food and other essentials across boundaries.

Hence, at any location around or within the oceans, the observed sea level trend can differ significantly from the global average.

The ice sheet is the focus of scientific research because its fate has huge implications for global sea levels, which are already rising as ice sheets melt and the ocean warms, exposing coastal locations to greater damage from storm surge - related flooding.

-LSB-...] In the 21st century, global sea level also will continue to rise although the rise will not be uniform at all locations.

But one would be hard - pressed to claim a unique location (or several) represents the result of CO2 - induced global climate change when scientific measurement - reality obviously indicates accelerating, doomsday sea level rise is not a global phenomenon.

My own goal is to have readers (and maybe even but not necessarily Graeme) understand the invalidity of his argument asserting that (essentially) one sea level time series observation at one coastal location that (allegedly) doesn't show much change in several decades does not imply that the sea level changes have been the same at all other coastal locations (give or take 100 mm)- which implies that any observed variations exceeding this level in sea level rise at different locations around the world are «not real» and hence sea level rise due to global warming isn't anything to worry about.
