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.
Not exact matches
After over a year of sideways and downward movement from late 2015 through early 2017, the most recent NASA report shows that over the past year an
acceleration in sea level rise has become visible on the NASA graph, even with just a quick glance (then again, while the long
term trend is consistently upward, the annual trend is so variable, that it's likely foolish on my part to suggest a change
in trend based on the most recent periods of increase which have only been occurring for less than 12 months).
Once this La Nina faded,
sea levels rebounded sharply, and that
rise might have been incorrectly interpreted as some rapid
acceleration in the long -
term sea level rise, when
in fact, mass was shifting back from land to ocean as rainfall patterns changed once more, but also much of the excess water on the land was draining back to the oceans.
«However, Fig. 15 and the associated uncertainties discussed
in Section 3.4 show that long
term estimates of time variable
sea level acceleration in 203 year global reconstruction are significantly positive, which supports our previous finding (Jevrejeva et al., 2008a), that despite strong low frequency variability (larger than 60 years) the rate of
sea level rise is increasing with time.»

None of these could have been caused by an increase
in atmospheric CO2, Model projections of warming during recent decades have greatly exceeded what has been observed, The modelling community has openly acknowledged that the ability of existing models to simulate past climates is due to numerous arbitrary tuning adjustments, Observations show no statistically valid trends
in flooding or drought, and no meaningful
acceleration whatsoever of pre-existing long
term sea level rise (about 6 inches per century) worldwide, Current carbon dioxide
levels, around 400 parts per million are still very small compared to the averages over geological history, when thousands of parts per million prevailed, and when life flourished on land and
in the oceans.
