I went to the “data” section and went through graphs for about 50 or 60 data collection points.

What is clear is atmospheric “warming” models cannot accurately explain “sea level” at all, because the ACTUAL change, from one place to another not only varies widely but is lower at many places, not just uniformly higher.

Other factors obviously related to changes with the land itself are at work when it comes to the sea level relative to any particular location.

Also of note is that on one coast, the sea level shows a RISE, while on another coast, the sea level shows a LOWERING.

IF the sea were actually rising or falling, it would do the same on BOTH COASTS.

Yeah, there is still rising coastlines in some areas caused by spring back from the weight removed by the melting of glaciers from the last ice age.

Sea levels ARE rising, just not very much, not very fast,

No, they are not. For the overall sea level to 'rise' would require VAST amounts of water. Where would that water be coming from ? The amount of water on the planet Earth has not changed significantly for millions of years, if not billions of years.

HOWEVER, the GROUND moves up and down CONSTANTLY.

Weather Prediction is based on Probabilities.

That is why Weather Forecasters give us PERCENTAGE for the possibility of RAIN or SNOW.

An 80% chance of rain means that 80% of the time the conditions were EXACTLY THE SAME it rained, 20% of the time it DIDN’T, and no one knows WHY.

No, it has been generally rising since the end of the last ice age 21,000 years ago. Several hundred feet due to ice melt primarily, and some thermal expansion. It has been rising very slowly for the last 8,000 years. The ground moves up and down, but has a relatively small impact in comparison.

If you want an easy to understand overview of sea level change and the way it is measured click on the top link in this post. FWIW sea level certainly is rising and it has been for 18,000 years. We are in an interglacial period.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.

From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.
