CAPE CANAVERAL, Fl. (Reuters) - Sea levels worldwide rose an average of nearly 3 inches (8 cm) since 1992, the result of warming waters and melting ice, a panel of NASA scientists said on Wednesday.
In 2013, a United Nations panel predicted sea levels would rise from 1 to 3 feet (0.3 to 0.9 meters) by the end of the century. The new research shows that sea level rise most likely will be at the high end of that range, said University of Colorado geophysicist Steve Nerem.
Sea levels are rising faster than they did 50 years ago and its very likely to get worse in the future, Nerem said.
The changes are not uniform. Some areas showed sea levels rising more than 9 inches (25 cm) and other regions, such as along the U.S. West Coast, actually falling, according to an analysis of 23 years of satellite data.

That sort of screws up the projections, doesn't it?
Maybe, the earth is turning into a Borg-like cube.

Plate tectonics factored in?
I doubt it.
There is no overflow when ice cubes melt in a full glass of water.
Just sayin'.
NASA needs to stick with what they do best --- muzzie outreach.

Tides aside, could someone please explain to me how an ocean can rise in some places and fall in others? Aren’t we violating the laws of gravity to be making such claims?

Government is totally corrupt and useless
NASA is supposed to be doing space exploration not trying to terrorize Americans with the fake global warming hoax and lies of sea level rise.

Tectonics? Are you kidding? Too heavy a topic for most. :-l
We got a spinning metal core a spongy middle in between and a rough surface.. What could possibly affect us? ;-)
Just enjoy the ride!

That’s strange. The water level is exactly where it has been for the last 50 years on the Chesapeake Bay.

The lakes in Minnesota looked just fine on a recent visit.
And the Vikings tooo!!
In the drought of the 30s they farmed in the lake bottoms.. That’s what my dad and uncles said.
