Thanks for info. I figured the global warming people talk of rising sea levels as if they never happened before, and are all due to man made Activity.

They definitely do talk about it like it's never happened before. Here's what I've posted about the average rise over 18k years vs. the current rate of rise.

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.

The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.

Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising
